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).
