I've never understood how a Senate could even function in a Parliamentary system. To give it equal weight would require modelling the entire governing system more towards the American government set-up, leading to a direct or electoral college-style election of the PM, rather than electing them just from the Parliamentary body itself.

It works in Australia, which is also a federation of states.
