Does anyone know, What the executive council is? and what it does,  and how it links with the cabinet?

Members of Cabinet form the Executive Council. The Commonwealth Constitution provides for a Commonwealth Executive Council. The governor-general acts on the advice given by the Executive Council; it consists of the ministers of state and the governor-general.

hehe thanks, but can u rephrase that, sorta got me confused. the commonweath consitition (is that the aus constitution?) and provides what,

... so the cabinet is pretty much on meetings of ministers of parliament, deciding which bills to pass onto the lower house, but the Executive council is G.G and ministers, doing the same thing?

[eeps]

Yes, the Australian Constitution. When Cabinet approves a bill, it is called a 'government' bill. Cabinet is a meeting of government ministers, not "ministers of parliament". There is a "shadow" Cabinet for the opposition. Cabinet decides the order in which bills are heard in parliament. Yeahh, I think the only real difference is that the Executive Council includes the Governor-General. I'm a bit unsure as to the Executive Council's role - all I know is that it's a branch of government. That's as much as I know. Better to ask your teacher about the Executive Council...

At what stages in the progress of a bill through parliament are amendments most likely to be made. Explain your answer.

Consideration-in-detail or the "Committee" Stage as it is also known - this is where the bill is debated clause-by-clause and closely examined. The opposition may also take this opportunity to highlight flaws in the bill. Most amendments will be made at this stage before moving onto the third reading, where the bill will then be voted on.

ohh.. all over ya mean the .. 2nd reading.. and it doesnt matter if that is the second reading in the upper or lower house yeah?

[eeps]

The same process occurs in the upper house as it does the lower house... so, no it doesn't matter as the 2nd reading would occur in both houses. The 2nd reading is where debate takes place (relating to the bill) and amendments can be made, though more likely however amendments would be in the "Committee" Stage. Both answers; 2nd reading and "Committee" Stage would be accepted.
