The Speaker:

In the House of Representatives there is a Speaker. His name is, Mr J.N Andrew MP. The role of the Speaker is to keep order of the Chamber. The Speaker sits in a leather chair above all the members of the House of Representatives.

There is also a Chairman of Committees. The Chairman of Committees name is Mr 0. He takes over the Speaker's role if he is absent. He/She is also known as the Deputy Speaker.

The Members represent the electorates. If you are a member you are either a part of the Government side or you could be part of the Opposition Party. You sit in what is called the 'Back seats'. You are not always needed in the 'House of Representatives'. If the Opposition calls for a vote, green lights start flashing on all the clocks in Parliament and make a ringing sound for 3 minutes to give members that are not present, time to come in and if they are not all there the other side could win the vote.
