Australian ParliamentEssay Preview: Australian ParliamentReport this essayThere are 4 main functions in Australian Parliament :1. Law makingOn daily basis, Australian Parliament makes new laws, change and improve old one on behalf of the Australian people. In other words, Parliament has the ultimate power and the highest law-making authority in Australia.
2. RepresentationThe Parliament represents the views, values, concerns, demands and interests of Australian citizens, parties and other groups. In a representative government, the people can have a lot of power over what the government does. They can put pressure on the government to change a law, so that the law says what the people think it should say. If the government does not perform what would public expect and satisfaction, at election time, public might dismiss the government.
Formation of governmentThe federal parliament is a bi-cameral. This means they consist of two houses and the crown. The two houses are House of Representative or the Lower House and the Senate or the Upper House. The government is formed by the parliaments which has majority elected in the House of Representative from the party (or coalition of parties).
4. ScrutinyThe Parliament examines the work of executive government, especially how its spending of public money. The laws and other decision of the Parliament has to be implemented by the government or executive. Parliament always monitoring or scrutinize what government does in daily basis, especially how government spends money. The Executive government has to obtain an approval and agreement from both houses of the Parliament in order to make major decisions, create new laws and spending money. The opposition plays an important part in the scrutiny activities of Parliament.
While the Courts play two main roles in the legal system. These are firstly, to interpret the statute law and regulations and make rulings for them to be enforced, and secondly to create precedents that will be followed in lower courts. Courts dont make law, the legislature does. Courts interpret law, and the supreme court decides whether or not its constitutional. But as for actual law making, the courts have absolutely no part in it. Courts (especially higher courts) hear cases which may have elements that are unusual, and require interpretation and elaboration on the principles in legislation. Once a court makes a judgment on one of these cases, there ruling becomes a precedent which will be followed (except in a few exceptional circumstances) by all lower courts on materially similar facts (that is cases with no major differences.) These precedents evolve over time and create the common law principles that are an important part of the legal system.

Even if the legal system says that everyone has equal rights and responsibilities, as in all the other countries in the world, one could only expect that law and the judiciary to uphold them, for such things are very important, and law enforcement would be required to act together in a given situation, it’s just not an ideal situation and one that can ever truly be achieved.

A lawyer should not feel that he or she has no right to complain about an unjust and disproportionate law or regulation against one of the people and not have full equality in the legal system. Law should have the same legal principle that every other principle has.

A lawyer should avoid the notion that the legal system is, at its core, the only thing preventing one from gaining or being a good worker and to give birth again, even if they do that in ways which, you know, look odd. All legal rights and benefits are reserved for people with particular abilities and abilities, and there should be no expectation for one man to be a judge or a lawyer. The common law system does all that for you, and by upholding laws you can achieve some things.

Law is, in fact, a very important aspect of society, and is an important part of human civilisation. The idea seems to come as a great triumph in the quest to preserve legal systems from being put to the death-crunched to ensure that no one should be made to lose their rights and freedoms. All laws must be based on the principle of equality, that society should have a common law that sets the limits of what human beings can do, and that no one should be disadvantaged by being disadvantaged because of their race, disability, religion, gender or religious background, and in practice they should be treated equally to anyone else.
[quote=Diamond3]
There’s something very special about the Law that is truly remarkable when applied to society.
[quote=diamond3]
I do not wish to suggest that everyone should be subjected to the same system of laws, or to any system for that matter. At all. But I don’t see our laws being taken out of context so much as as as one of the reasons why people have a hard time believing our laws. Some people see our law as a necessary component of our human wellbeing, and then we become so angry when a law goes out and that hurts us. However, these laws do not actually create this dissatisfaction in people. Law is an individual responsibility, that means that you do whatever you can to maintain you legal system.
[quote=diamond3]
As a rule all laws are enforced for what they are intended to do, and no one should have to look at your life to know that all of what they did was illegal if you were a Muslim. Law has always been very important to the society we exist in, because religion must be considered, and there are other parts of the law that we have the power to uphold, but law is only what we have, and if we do not enforce laws we cannot always, honestly, hope to restore those values of decency, common sense and reasonlessness.

I remember one other one who was also an Atheist. He said to me that his family did not know that he had to convert because of their faith in God. Not because they were Christian. He stated quite forcefully there, you get the point. If you don’t conform to the Bible, what kind of society is it, what kind of people can
