In Australian parliamentary practice,the Opposition or the Official Opposition consists of the second largest party or coalition of parties in the Australian House of Representatives,with its leader being given the title Leader of the Opposition. The Opposition serves the same function as the official opposition in other Commonwealth of Nations monarchies that follow the Westminster conventions and practices. It is seen as the alternative government and the existing administration's main opponent in the Australian Parliament and at a general election. By convention,the Opposition Leader in the federal Parliament comes from the House of Representatives,as does the deputy,although the Government and Opposition may also both have leaders in the Senate. The Opposition is sometimes styled as His Majesty's Loyal Opposition to show that,although the group may be against the sitting government,it remains loyal to the Crown,and thus to Australia.
