Description
The role of executive government in turning policy into law:
1. The executive government decides policy then drafts and introduces bills to the Parliament.
2. Bills are considered by Parliament (in the House of Representatives and the Senate).
3. If passed by Parliament, the bills are approved by the Governor-General.
4. Bills become Acts of Parliament and therefore laws, which are administered by government departments.
