The legislative roles of both the houses are nearly identical. There is a limitation placed upon the upper house in that so called money bills can not be introduced in the Senate, but these days with party politics this is a mere formality.

The Senate, or upper house, is known as the House of Review, in this role it acts as a check and balance on the government (who holds a majority in the lower house).
