No, not technically...... however it could be considered one when it is called together to vote on the possible impeachment of a President.

Which is the higher court in Australia the senate or the high court?

In Australia, the difference between these to institutions is that the High Court of Australia. Deals with Constitutional, Discrimination, Homicide Cases, and other cases which are seemingly have a superior need to be heard in front of a court. The senate deals with democratic issues such as passing or rejecting legislation. For example, the 'Carbon Tax' issue or the 'Plain Packaging' on Cigarette Packets. In summary, the High Court is to hear issues that comply with the constitution and the Senate deals with democratic issues. Which in this case the High Court and the Senate are very similar, however, it is evident that The High Court is superior over every other court in the 'Australian Court Hierarchy' (Local Court, District Court, Supreme Court, Federal Court and The High Court). And The Senate is superior over all democratic government (House of Representatives, Federal Government, The Senate). Therefore, the Senate is not a 'Court'. Therefore to answer the question, The High Court is superior.
