The house of parliament in which government is formed. At the federal level this is the House of Representatives; in most states it is called the Legislative Assembly (or House of Assembly in SA and Tasmania). Members of the lower house represent specific geographic electorates and are elected by the people of those electorates.
The second chamber in a bicameral parliament, typically responsible for reviewing legislation passed by the lower house. At the federal level this is the Senate; in the states it is the Legislative Council. The upper house is sometimes called the house of review. Queensland is the only Australian jurisdiction that does not have an upper house.
Where voters individually number candidates on the ballot paper in their own preferred order, rather than voting for a party group appearing "above the line". Below the line voting gives the voter complete control over preference distribution but requires more effort, as Senate ballot papers can list dozens of candidates. Since 2016, voters need only number at least 12 individual candidates below the line for their vote to be formal in Senate elections.
The period after an election is called and before a new government is sworn in, during which the existing government continues to operate but avoids making major policy decisions, significant appointments, or major contracts unless necessary.
