The Parliament is located on Macquarie Street, close to Hyde Park, Sydney. It is the Australia’s oldest Parliament. The Parliament of New South Wales has two Houses:
- The New South Wales Legislative Council,
- The New South Wales Legislative Assembly.
Each house is directly elected by the people of this state every 4 years. Actually, 93 members are elected for the Assembly and 42 for the Council. The sovereign is the head of the parliament and is represented in the state by the Governor of New South Wales.
The party or coalition with the most seats in the Legislative Assembly is invited by the Governor to form government. The head of government is the Premier. The opposition is sat in front of the government during the meeting, and the Independents are sat between the both government and opposition.
Generally, for a bill to become law, it must be passed by both the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly and be assented to by the Governor. A bill appropriating revenue for the ordinary annual services of the Government can be presented to the Governor for assent even if the upper house has not agreed to it (section 5A Constitution Act 1902, NSW).
