Members of the Legislative Council (MLCs) are elected or appointed representatives who serve in the upper house of a government's legislature. Their role is to review, amend, and approve legislation passed by the lower house, providing additional oversight and expertise. In some regions, MLCs are chosen through various methods like direct election or appointment, often representing specific interests or sectors. They help ensure laws are well-considered and balanced, contributing to the legislative process with their experience and perspective.
