The Senate is important because all of the State Parliament Houses in Australia all consist of two houses- the House Of Representatives and the Senate. The exception is that the State Parliament House in Brisbane only has one house which is the House Of Representatives because in 1922, the Senate was abolished because they weren't passing any laws. One of the roles of the Senate is to pass bills and to check them before they are sent to the Governor General to be stamped. If the people in the Senate don't like the bills, they will make some changes and pass it back to the House of Representatives.
