hey stupid....Our Senate is elected by us....we go and vote for it on a
piece of paper every 3 years...

actually theres 2 pieces of paper....one for the Lower House and one for the
Upper House....

we learnt from the Westminister System and the American System and we got
the best of both worlds...

ours is as close to true representation as u can get...although others will
argue about the State/Senate issue...

cheers ;)

oh and the Governor-General, the Queens Representative only signs off laws
to make them legal. He has the power to disband the Government only when a
serious issue arrises and both houses don't agree...aka Supply of
Money....etc...after that by law an election MUST be held within a short
time....

just to clear up a few facts about u uneducated lot on the other side of the
world who dont much read up on other countries and their systems....

with the Internet around these days and search functions...it does make you
stupid in one way....lets see if you remember all this in a years time....
monkeys....
