Description
Summary:	In 2024, the Legislative Council of New South Wales celebrated its Bicentenary. As part of the commemoration, it was felt appropriate to publish a select compilation of articles, written mainly by Council staff, to enhance understanding of the institution and its vital role in the functioning of our democracy. Parliamentary Democracy at Work is the result. Specific themes covered include the history of the Upper House, the Council's quest for governmental transparency, parliamentary privilege, the wide-ranging work of Council committees, the use of orders for the production of state papers and procedural, ethical and leadership issues. This book will be of interest to students and practitioners of parliament in general and those of upper houses in particular.
