JISTV | Sitting of the Senate

The Senate is a nominated House made up of twenty-one (21) Senators. Thirteen (13) Senators are appointed by the Governor-General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The other eight (8) are appointed on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition. Not more than four Ministers can be appointed from the Senate, and they may have portfolio responsibilities. The Senate usually functions as a review chamber, considering Bills passed by the House of Representatives. But the Senate may also initiate legislation, except money Bills. It cannot delay money Bills for more than one month nor any other Bill for more than seven months. At the first meeting of a newly appointed Senate, or when there is a vacancy, Senators elect a President and a Deputy President. A Minister or Parliamentary Secretary may not hold office as President or Deputy President.
