What do the different coloured poppies mean? In Depth. The most extreme weather events of Party meetings. The major parties have designated party rooms in Parliament House. Parties have meetings in sitting weeks, usually at times when the House is not sitting, where all members of the party in the Parliament that is, Senators and Members meet together.
These meetings are a forum for communication between backbenchers and party leaders, internal party discussion of party policy, parliamentary activity and tactics, the resolution of internal party disputes and the election of officers. The proceedings of party meetings are regarded as confidential, and details of discussions are not normally made public. Party committees. Both the government and the opposition parties have backbench committees to assist them in the consideration of legislative proposals and other issues of political significance.
These committees provide backbenchers with the opportunity to discuss matters and influence party policy or decisions in particular subject areas. Party whips. All parties have whips whose main function is to act as administrative officers to their parliamentary parties.
Although whips, and especially the Chief Government Whip, have duties in relation to the proceedings of the House, they occupy essentially party positions. Outside the Chamber the whips may be required to provide support for such matters as party meetings and consultations, party committees, arranging party nominations to parliamentary committees and organising any party balloting which may be required.
Parties in the Senate. The system of proportional representation used to elect Senators results in more opportunity for the election of minority parties and independents. This has meant that minor parties with a significant and often influential Senate presence may have no or little representation in the House for example, previously the Democratic Labor Party and the Australian Democrats, and more recently the Australian Greens.
Further information on political parties in the House of Representatives is displayed in tables 1 and 2 below. Party strengths indicated are those after general elections and do not allow for by-elections, changes in affiliation between elections or as a result of elections declared void and recontested.
This table is based on the table at Appendix 10 of House of Representatives Practice. Note that early records and subsequent histories do not always agree on party affiliations. Australian Parliament House is currently closed to the public.
