 Australian Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
From a comparative governmental perspective, the Australian Senate exhibits distinctive characteristics, in that unlike upper houses in other Westminster system governments, the Senate is not a vestigial body with limited legislative power, but rather plays and is intended to play an active role in legislation.
The Australian Constitution requires that the number of Senators approximate as nearly as possible to half of the number of members of the House of Representatives, and it has therefore grown periodically.
The Australian Senate serves as a model for some politicians in Canada, particularly in the Western provinces, who wish to reform the Canadian Senate to take a more active legislative role.
