Parliament of Victoria

The Parliament of Victoria is the legislative body responsible for making laws, debating policies, and scrutinizing the government in the Australian state of Victoria. It consists of two houses: the Legislative Assembly (lower house) and the Legislative Council (upper house). Members are elected to represent the interests of Victorian residents. Parliament also reviews government decisions, allocates funding, and works to address issues affecting the community. It operates within a constitutional framework that balances elected representatives' authority with democratic governance, ensuring laws serve the public interest and reflect the state's needs.
