The only other name for the House of Representatives is the "Lower House" of Parliament.
The Australian Government is the party within the Lower House of Parliament with the majority of seats held. The government that holds the most seats nation wide becomes the 'Government of the day'. This, however, does not mean that they can pass what ever legislation they wish as they must also hold majority seats in the senate also (which is not usually the case). For Example - The Rudd government (although not very compitent) was elected they were The Government whilst Brendan Nelson at the time was the opposition leader.
The elected governmnet will have a cabinet made up of ministers that may be form the House of Representatives, or the Senate.
Obviously, it is all a matter of perspective.
Immigrants are mostly people who have immigrated to Australia are in seek of a better quality of life, education or due to their environmental circumstances.
There are both pros and cons to this situation. The worry of overpopulation within major migration destination cities such as Melbourne and Sydney are almost always there. Most would agree that the number of people migrating into these cities per month alone is very shocking.
However, due to this, several industries have become a steady source of income for the economy and the country.
Education is probably Australia's newest and largest economic- provider due to the great numbers of students entering the system with a mind of continuing their secondary or tertiary education.
Public transportation would most probably be coming in next.
However, due to this large flush of immigrants, many Australian Citizens are worried over the shortage of jobs (Many oversea graduates also decide to stay in Australia due to the large work and job opportunities offered here, direct from graduating) , the rise in property prices and so on and forth.
Despite this, many cannot deny the fact that human resources are very valuable, and this is probably one of the advantages that Australia would receive when accepting immigrants into the country.
In conclusion, this question is all about perspective, and like many other things, it has both consequences and benefits.
Thats a subjective question, however I would say that the democratic nature of our system along with the checks and balances as established in the Constitution and in convention, the quality of life in the country all help to maintain stability.
Parliament House is in Canberra which, ironically, is an Aboriginal word for "meeting place".
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.
Australia is a constitutional monarchy and therefore does not have a president. we have a prime minister that fulfils the duties of leader of the government and a Governor general that is appointed by the government that represents our titular head of state the Queen of Great Britain. The beauty of this system is that the leader of the country is on the other side of the world and has absolutely no say about what goes on in Australia and any constitutional matters are settled by the governor general in accordance with the constitution of Australia.
Australia operates under a Federal parliamentary democracy, based on a constitution, so it is also sometimes referred to as a constitutional monarchy. The Australian Federal government is based on the British system, which is the Westminster system of parliament, and consists of the House of Representatives (the Lower House) and the Senate (the Upper House). The lower house is chosen by the voters in electorates. The senate is chosen by voters in the states.
In Australia, although the Queen seems little more than a figurehead, she approves the appointing of the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Governor General is the Queen's representative in Australia, and his/her powers include appointing ambassadors, ministers and judges, giving Royal Assent to legislation, issuing writs for elections and bestowing honours. The Governor-General is also Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Defence Force. Whilst the Governor-General usually acts only on the advice of the Prime Minister, his/her reserve powers can be exercised over that of the Prime Minister, in extreme situations.
The Federal government oversees the following areas:

The parents of Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard are John and Moira Gillard.
The document that sets out the rules of government is the Australian Constitution.
-We are a federation, with States and a Federal Government
-We have a seperation of powers to ensure checks and balances
-Australia is a hybrid of systems, primarily the system of Westminster government with some features taken from Washington.
High Court justices are appointed by the Governor General on advice of the Prime Minister.
People get elcted to the federal parliament, after the election the party, or parties,that hold a majority of seats in the lower house form government. Each party then has its own method for selecting ministers and the prime minister.
Parliament consists of three parts, the house of commons, the senate and the monarch. Its main roles are to create new laws and modify existing ones to make them the best they can be for Canadian citizens.
There are, as you said, three levels of government in Canada. These three are:
FEDERAL: on a national scale, accounts for the whole country.
example of some of their duties: National Defence, Aboriginal Affairs, CRA(taxes)
PROVINCIAL: on the provincial level, each province has their own individual provincial government
example: Healthcare (shared with federal), Education (shared with federal)
MUNICIPAL: on the city or region level, depending on the location.
example: Snow removal, Road maintenance (shared with provincial), Parks
*Each three levels have their proper duties. They have to work together to ensure they get funds to be able to perform their duties. FEDERAL LEVEL has the most power out of all of the three.
In the US, territories were established by law for national areas not yet administered by states. They included the Northwest Territory (Midwest), the Louisiana Territory (central US), and various territories which later joined the union as states (the last being Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii). Puerto Rico and several other islands remain territories of the US.
In other governments, territories are also non-states with rights and government different from states. These include Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories (Canada), and Australia's Capital Territory, Northern Territory, Jervis Bay Territory, and Tasmania.
People can lodge a formal petition to the parliament, which gets recorded in Hansard, which is the official proceedings of the parliament. People can also make submission to parliamentary committees.
In certain circumstances people can directly address the parliament, like if they have been named by a MP in the parliament they can havea right of reply.
Julia Gillard became prime Minister of Australia on 24 June 2010. Although all the circumstances are unlikely to ever be known, Kevin Rudd stepped aside as Prime Minister following a secret meeting between him and Julia Gillard.
The last federal election was held in Australia on August 21st, 2010, after a month long campaign, resulting in a Parliament with a mandate to serve until September 27th, 2013 (making the last possible date for the next election November 30th, 2013).
Why do children leave their parents' home? Because they want to make their own decisions,become independent,feel they're mature enough to cope on their own etc. This sounds very similar.However,the Queen of the UK is still the Queen of Australia.Therefore,don't forget that Australia has not cut all the ties with the UK and has only considered but not decided to become a Republic.
they do barely anything, they spend their money on their finacial things for themselves
