		Royal Assent is the final stage of an Act of Parliament; it is the formal process by which a bill becomes law and is given by, or on behalf of, the Sovereign after a bill has been finally agreed to by both the Senate and the House of Commons.
		Clause 2 provides that Royal Assent granted by the Governor General in the Queen’s name to a bill passed by the Senate and the House of Commons could be declared either as at present, with the Royal Assent ceremony in the Senate chamber, or by a written declaration.
		At present, it appears that Royal Assent is given at the moment that the Governor General or Deputy signifies assent by nodding his or her head.
