For Italy:
This is just a quick post on how laws end up becoming so in Italy, as well as some brief comment on an interesting new law that is being dressed up as a reform.
I’m writing this post in the face of new legislation which is intended, or so its instigators claim, to reform and speed up Italy’s legal system. The acceleration of Italy’s criminal trial system will mean that certain cases will have to be heard within a certain time, or they will simply be dropped. Those accused of complex white-collar crimes are likely to benefit from such time limitations, and it is rumoured that the lawyers acting on behalf of a certain Italian prime minister are ensuring that around one thousand witnesses will be called to appear in court. Hearing all these witnesses will ensure that the case concerned will never end on time. Someone will thus avoid prosecution.
And for Australia:
Statute law is made by parliament. In the Australian Parliament, a bill is a proposal for a new law or a change to an existing one. A bill becomes a law after it has been passed in the same form by the House of Representatives and the Senate and is given Royal Assent by the Governor-General.
I got them from the internet but you can manage to see the difference.
It's not that hard
