What are the two houses of the Australian Parliament?
- The House of Lords and the House of Commons
- The Senate and the House of Representatives
- The Upper House and the Lower Chamber
Why this is the correct answer
Australia's federal Parliament has two chambers: the Senate, sometimes called the upper house, and the House of Representatives, the lower house. All legislation must pass both chambers to become law. This bicameral structure creates checks and balances on parliamentary power.
