Parliament

Parliament refers to the legislative branch of government in various countries, including the UK, Australia, and France. These bodies are currently newsworthy due to their involvement in significant policy debates and legislative actions. Recent events include the Australian Parliament passing tighter gun control laws following a mass shooting, the French government moving to ban social media for children under 15, and the UK government planning to create a new national police force. In Australia, political tensions are evident with the breakup of the Coalition and internal leadership contests. Singapore's Workers' Party declined to nominate a replacement for the Leader of the Opposition. These parliaments are relevant as they shape national laws, address pressing social issues, and navigate complex political landscapes, impacting citizens' lives and national policies.
