Lower house (house of reps) is elected differently to upper house. Each seat in lower house represents one electorate. This means only the member with most votes wins the seat, meaning that the lower house tends to be very difficult for a minor party to get into. Lower house makes all the policy & rules that govern the country, gets elected every 3 years.
Upper house (senate) is proportional voting - if minor party gets 10% of votes nationally, they get 10% of seats in senate, so it's possible for minor parties to get in. The job of upper house is to review legislation and review the honesty of the government. They have half-senate elections every 4 years.
