What are the names for the federal upper house and lower house?
Lower house (house of reps) is elected differently to upper house. Each seat in lower house represents one electorate.

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.
