Step By Step How  the Federal Budget is passed.

Step 1: The Cabinet Ministers and the Federal Treasurer prepare the budget together.

Step 2: The Federal Treasurer presents the Budget to the house of representatives in a speech called a Budget Speech. The budget is then shown to the House of Representatives as two draft laws. Draft budget laws are called Appropriation Bills.

Step 3: The appropriation bills are then debated at the house of reps. Against the party in government and the opposition debate can be fierce. However the house of reps will soon come to an agreement in a couple of weeks.

Step 4: When Budget bills are presented to the house of reps they, at the same time are presented to the Senate. The Senate then will debate the bills just like the House of Representatives

Step 5: Once the senate and the House of Representatives have both passed the appropriation bills they are finally laws.
