Abstract

The Senate committee system as it is currently structured has been operating now for just over 13 years. The introduction of the system was heralded with much chest-beating and optimism. The fuction of the new Legislative and General Purpose Standing Committees was to extend the role of the Senate as a House of Review and improve the flow of information to Senators. It can now be said that the committee system of the Senate has revitalised (and some would say saved) the Senate. Committee activity is seen as synonymous with the Senate.
