The Liberal-National coalition government, which has a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives (the lower house of parliament), will face a general election in 2016 but is likely to remain in power until 2019.
The government has successfully repealed significant legislation implemented by the previous Labor Party administration. Passing new legislation will be slow, as the government lacks a majority in the Senate (the upper house).
