$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ by Maddy and Tiarna [] The State Governments of Australia can make any laws on any issue at anytime, however the Commonwealth Government can not. State laws cover issues like education, health, the environment, and the operation of emergency services such as: police, fire and ambulance services.

Emma and Paula :D [] The Parliamentary process of law making in NSW is similar to that of other Australian and Westminster-style Parliaments.Once drafted, is introduced in one house (most commonly the Lower House) where it must pass through three stages. If it survives this it passes to the second house (most often the Upper House) acting as a house of review, where it must pass through the same process again. If both houses agree on it (or its version as amended by either house), it passes on to the Governor of NSW for approval (the Royal Assent) after which it becomes an Act of Parliament and part of the Law of NSW. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The making of a law is very difficult as it must survive three stages which are the first reading, the second and the third reading. If the Bill is passed in the Lower House it moves on to the Upper House. Once again it must survive the three readings. However if it doesn't it moves back to the Lower House to either have amendments done to it or it is not brought up for a while. If it does pass the Upper House it goes to the Governor General or the Governor for States to be signed and once this is done it is an official Law. By Nicholas.P and Adrian.M
