New South Wales Legislative Council
The New South Wales Legislative Council, often referred to as the upper house, is one of the two chambers of the parliament of the Australian state of New South Wales. The other is the Legislative Assembly. Both sit at Parliament House in the state capital, Sydney. It is normal for legislation to be first deliberated on and passed by the Legislative Assembly before being considered by the Legislative Council, which acts in the main as a house of review. The Legislative Council has 42 members, elected by proportional representation in which the whole state is a single electorate. Members serve eight-year terms, which are staggered, with half the Council being elected every four years, roughly coinciding with elections to the Legislative Assembly.

McGirr Ministry (1947–50)
McGirr Recorded as McGerr, McGirr, McGeer, and probably others, is an early Scottish and Irish surname, common in Ulster. It derives from the pre-10th century Gaelic 'Mac an gHeairr' which is believed to translate as 'the son of the short man'. What is certain is that almost all Gaelic surnames whether Scottish or Irish that are not locational, derive from a nickname for the first nameholder or chief. Some of these original names were at best robust and often obscene for modern tastes, so that over the years the meaning has been largely toned down. That is not the case here, and will refer to the physical size of the chief, at a time when generally people were small in stature in any case. Perhaps like many nicknames, the reverse applied, and the chief was actually tall. The first known recordings of the surname are in Ireland in 1602. No individual are mentioned merely that the nameholders in County Armagh are called MacEghir. Later in 1628 the name-holders are mentioned as being 'n ...
