In the Bahamas, bills are signed into law by the Governor-General, who acts on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Once a bill is passed by both Houses of Parliament, it is presented to the Governor-General for Royal Assent, which is the final step before it becomes law. The Governor-General’s role is largely ceremonial, as the actual decision-making power lies with the elected government.

No one.There is no representative of the Queen of England in Australia's Federal government.There is the position of Governor-General which is a titular role currently, 2009, held by Quentin Bryce. The person is often someone with legal experience because they have the role of ensuring that the laws passed by Parliament are in agreement with the Constitution, that the Prime Minister and the Ministers are acting lawfully. Controversially, the Governor-General can dismiss a Prime Minister if there is a no confidence motion passed.The position is filled by a person recommended by the PM who passes this recommendation to the Queen of England."In essence then, the Governor-General’s role is to protect the Constitution and to facilitate the work of the Commonwealth Parliament and Government. For example, before giving assent to legislation, the Governor-General must be satisfied that the proposed law has passed both Houses of Parliament and that the necessary certification from the Attorney General has been obtained." - The Governor-General of Australia ( href="http://www.gg.gov.au/")
A proposal is put forward in the lower house. It is discussed and voted upon then goes to the upper house where it is discussed and voted upon. If the upper house can't come to an agreement on it they send it back to the lower house where changes are made or it is dropped. They can then send it back to the upper house again until agreement is reached.
According to the Constitution, the Governor-General is the Queen's official representative in Australia. The Constitution gives the Governor-General a number of very significant powers. She can summon and prorogue (suspend) parliament; she can appoint ministers; she is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, she can issue writes for an election - either of the House of Representatives, or, in special circumstances, both Houses of Parliament. As part of her power to appoint ministers, the Governor-General appoints the Prime Minister and the other members of the Cabinet. Although the Constitution gives the Governor-General all of these powers, she is expected not to exercise them except when "advised" (in reality ordered) to, by the Prime Minister. For example, the Governor-General will not call an election unless the Prime Minister advises her to. When one Prime Minister loses the election, he will advise her to appoint a new Prime Minister, who is, except in very rare circumstances, the leader of the party with majority support in the House of Representatives. This is because the Prime Minister has a democratic mandate as the leader of a political party in Parliament, while the Governor-General is not part of Parliament and is not elected by anybody. The Governor-General will only intervene in politics (for example, to sack the Prime Minister) if there is some sort of crisis in government. The one time when a Governor-General used his own initiative to sack a Prime Minister was in November 1975, and the dismissal of Gough Whitlam. This action was hugely controversial both then and now. In practice, the Governor-General simply approves the actions that the Prime Minister and her other Ministers recommend. She spends most of her time attending official functions - eg. the opening of new schools, awards ceremonies, etc. -Charles
