Brisbane City Tour --Queensland Parliament House

Posted by Picasa

Brisbane is the 3rd largest city in australia, she is also the captial city of Queensland. Thus, Brisbane is the headquarters of Brisbane City Council and Queensland Government. Australia has a federal system, the federal government is mainly to take care foreign affairs and defences. Well, but each state has legislature, executive, and judiciary powers. Each state has a different set of laws. For example in NSW, you cannot holding a koalas for photo taking. But in QLD, you can (as far as I know). Those state laws are passed our Parliament。She is formed 89 members, each member represents an electorate of 29898 people. Each term is three years. For Parliament house is at the intersection of Alice Street and George Stree. Thereforem it is next to Queensland University of Technology.Moreover, that is a historical building. It built on 1868 French Renaissance style. Moreover, they built a new 22 stoery Annexe building on 1979, but I love the old section more.
