The upper house in a legislative body typically represents the interests of specific groups, regions, or states, providing a balance to the representation of the lower house. It often serves as a chamber of review, ensuring that legislation is examined more thoroughly before becoming law. In many parliamentary systems, members of the upper house may be appointed or elected to reflect a broader or more elite perspective, often focusing on long-term issues rather than immediate public opinion. This structure helps to stabilize governance and protect minority interests.

Is Australia a bicameral government?

Yes, there is a lower house (House of Representatives) and an upper house (Senate). Similar to the US, members of the House of Reps represent local districts (called 'electorates') and members of the Senate represent the states. Unlike in the US, the head of the executive government (in Australia's case the prime minister) and the ministers all have seats in the parliament (ie Congress).
