12 Briefing paper Parliament of Australia PARLIAMENT OF AUSTRALIA The Australian Parliament has two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate. SENATE The Senate has 76 members. Senators elected from the states serve 6-year terms, and those from the territories 3-year terms. Elections are held every 3 years for half of the senators from the states and all the senators from the territories. The most recent election was held in August Election of senators Each state or territory comprises 1 multi-member electoral district. 12 senators are elected from each state, and 2 from each territory. Senators are elected by proportional representation; voters may indicate individual preferences or cast a bloc vote for 1 party. Leadership The President of the Senate is elected by and from among the senators. The current President is John Hogg. Committees There are 16 standing committees. The 8 legislative and general purpose standing committees each comprise a pair of committees: a legislation committee which deals with bills, the estimates and scrutiny of government departments' performance, and a references committee which inquires into matters referred to it. Each legislation or reference committee has 6 members. Select committees may be appointed for a specific purpose. There are currently 3 select committees, looking into the food processing sector, reform of the Australian federation and scrutiny of new taxes. Political parties The current state of the parties is: 12
13 Briefing paper Parliament of Australia Australian Labor Party 32 Liberal Party of Australia 32 Australian Greens 5 Nationals 4 Country Liberal Party 1 Family First Party 1 Independent 1 The number of women senators is 27 (36%). PARLIAMENTARY NEWS Review of members' entitlements A comprehensive review of MPs' and senators' entitlements, released in March, recommended restoring the Remuneration Tribunal's power to determine parliamentary base salary, and removing the ability of Parliament to disallow the Tribunal's determinations. Other recommendations included: ceasing the overseas study travel entitlement and including a compensatory amount in the base salary; placing restrictions on some entitlements during election campaigns; and requiring employment of close family members to be declared. The travel entitlement for former members should be significantly reduced, and should be abolished for those who enter Parliament at or after the next election. Parliamentary Budget Office The establishment of a Parliamentary Budget Office was part of the agreements made by the government with the other parties after the election. A joint select committee has now recommended establishing such an Office. Its functions would consist of responding to requests from senators and members, contributing to committee inquiries, initiating its own work, and preparing costings of election commitments. Memorandums of understanding should be negotiated to obtain access to information from government departments or other organisations. Vote of confidence in the Speaker On 31 May a motion to suspend a member, following his naming by the Speaker, was defeated by one vote. The Speaker said that he would take time to consider his position. The Leader of the Opposition immediately moved a motion, seconded by the Prime Minister, that the 13
14 Briefing paper Parliament of Australia House had confidence in the Speaker. The motion was passed unanimously. Later the Speaker issued a statement recognising the very generous vote of confidence in the chair by the House, and said that he would not resign.
