Answer 2

Answer:

The Opposition’s main role is to question

the government of the day and hold them

accountable. Opportunities for scrutinising the

policies and administration of the Government

are provided in Question Time, the Address-

in-Reply debate, Budget debates, debates on

legislation, notices of motion and No Confidence

Motions. Members of the Opposition who are

members of parliamentary committees have a

further opportunity to scrutinise new legislation

as part of the committee process.

The Opposition also utilises the media to reach

the electorate with its views and to establish an

identity as an alternative government.
