This article is about Joint meetings of the Australian Parliament. Australia has a bicameral federal parliament, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Subject to the Constitution of Australia, each House has its own rules, standing orders and procedures; its own presiding officer; and meets separately, at dates and times it alone decides. However, there are some occasions when the two Houses have come together as a single body. ==Reasons for joint meetings== The reasons for joint meetings have included: * to resolve deadlocks between the Houses following a double dissolution * to fill casual vacancies in the representation of the territories in the Senate * a special commemorative joint sitting to celebrate the Centenary of Federation * secret meetings to discuss security-related issues, such as Australia’s participation in war * to receive addresses by invited guests such as visiting foreign heads of state or government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joint meetings of the Australian Parliament」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
