Chapter 16 - Committees

Appointment and membership of committees

Standing committees are appointed at the beginning of each Parliament pursuant to standing orders. The life of a Parliament is determined by a general election for the House of Representatives, which usually also corresponds with a periodical election for the Senate (see Chapter 4, Elections, and Chapter 7, Meetings of the Senate).
