 | | This led to the eventual intervention by the Governor-General to withdraw the commission of the Australian Prime Minister (in effect dismissing him), the appointment of a minority government from the Opposition in the House of Representatives and the calling of a general election. | | | Rather than being modelled after the House of Lords the Australian Senate was in part modelled after the United States Senate. | | | Significant events in the history of the Senate include its role in the downfall of the Whitlam Government during the Australian Constitutional Crisis of 1975, and the Howard Government's controversial acquisition of the support of Senator Mal Colston, thus obtaining a majority and enabling the passage of a great deal of contentious legislation. |

| | The ideology and politics of the Australian Greens: Part 1 |
| | The Greens now register around 10 percent in opinion polls and are likely to win several seats in the Senate, with the possibility, although small, of securing seats in the House of Representatives as well. | | | Their chief objection was not that this was a war of imperialist plunder, but that it should have been carried out under the auspices of the United Nations. | | | That is why the first question to Brown after his address was whether, with an expected increase in the number of Greens senators, he would “start negotiating legislation in the Senate rather than obstructing, as you’ve done over the last eight years.” |

| | A perfunctory event, but heartfelt thanks - www.theage.com.au |
| | In that context, it is ironic that the one moment of personal interaction most likely to be remembered was the attempt by Green senators to break with the protocols and interrupt Bush during his speech to MPs. | | | The end result, however, is that, unlike previous visits by George Bush snr and Bill Clinton, very few Australians outside John Howard and his inner circle were given the chance to look the President directly in the eye, to take a measure of him up close. | | | Some of this can be explained by the unavoidable but unfortunate wall of security thrown up around the US President since September 11; some of it by the impossible time constraints on the man who holds the most powerful office on the planet. |
