Victorian Legislative Council
The Victorian Legislative Council (VLC) is the upper house of the bicameral Parliament of Victoria, Australia, the lower house being the Legislative Assembly. Both houses sit at Parliament House in Spring Street, Melbourne. The Legislative Council serves as a house of review, in a similar fashion to its federal counterpart, the Australian Senate. Although, it is possible for legislation to be first introduced in the Council, most bills receive their first hearing in the Legislative Assembly.
The Convicts' Protection Act, an act of the first legislative council, overriden by royal prerogative. The image depicts Sir Charles Hotham, bound with ropes 'manufactured in Downing Street', being threatened by Sir William Denison with a pistol marked 'Royal Prerogative'.
