Parliament House, Canberra |

For a legislature to validly enact new legislation, recognised rules and procedures must be followed. The process involves many stages and quite complex procedures. These procedures ensure that proposals for new legislation comply with the law, that they have sufficient public and political support and that, once enacted, they will work as intended. It is helpful to get an overview of the legislative process as a whole before getting involved in the finer details. Study the diagram on the next page carefully.
