Once a Bill has been passed by the Parliament, copies of the Bill bearing a certificate from the Speaker of the House of Representatives or the President of the Senate are given to the Governor-General by the House of introduction. OPC prepares a certificate for the Attorney-General’s signature. When the certificate is signed by the Attorney-General it is sent to the Governor-General. The Governor-General then gives the Royal Assent to the Bill by signing 2 copies of the Bill. In rare cases, the Bill is assented to by the Queen.
