Institute for Constitutional Education and Research Inc. A.R.B.N. A0037928M IS IT NOT TIME THAT WE KNOW THE TRUTH?
IS IT NOT TIME THAT WE CLAIM OUR RIGHT? The High Court of Australia ruled on June 23 1999 that The
United Kingdom is a
"foreign power" - So what then are we ? Are we a Monarchy? - No we are not since we have no Royal
Family of our own and we
would not have a referendum to evict our Queen from her cottage. Are we a self-governing colony? That is what section 8 of the
Australian Constitution
Act 1900 UK. says, but if so, how then could the United Kingdom be regarded as a foreign power? That means that we must: already be a REPUBLIC - so why
then have a referendum to
see if we want to become one? Chief Justice Mason of the High Court has ruled that
"sovereignty lies with the
Australian people" so that clearly confirms that we transformed from self-governing colony to an independent, sovereign republic. But when? History shows as far back as 1919 - the politicians and
judiciary seem to recall it
happened somewhere along the way, but can't quite remember exactly when. May be it was not an important enough occasion for them, but for us the people of Australia having been given the Royal powers surely should be a day of rejoicing. To be able to say what we want done in this country instead of
being told what to do by
either "the Crown" or our politicians in the name of the "Crown". - Just imagine that. If the United Kingdom is a foreign power, why then do all our
politicians, judges etc
swear an allegiance to that foreign power as prescribed under section 42 of our constitution? In every other country under every other law that is called t r e a s o n ! Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, By the Grace of God, Queen of
the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Her other Realms and Territories. Head of the Commonwealth is not an hereditary Queen (e.g, by birthright only), but is a statutory Queen in accordance to the Act of Settlement 1701. Queen by pleasure of the Parliament only! Therefore the Queen is part of the legislature of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and Her powers cannot be separated from the parliament. Without the Parliament She is not Queen but just ordinary Mrs. Gulph and has no Royal powers outside the UK Parliament. Her Majesty the Queen has to swear allegiance to the
Parliament of the United Kingdom
and cannot have an allegiance to a foreign power such as Australia or Canada, no matter if these were former colonies or not and no matter if they are within the Commonwealth. The Australia Act 1986 UK says that the United Kingdom can no
longer legislate for
Australia and this has been confirmed by our High Court, as late as 23 June 1999. Since the Queen can not be separated from the parliament of the United Kingdom it follows that post 1986 she can no longer give Assent to any Bill and any Office or body representing the Oueen becomes null and void such as that of the Governor-General or any of the Governors of the States. The High Court has already held that Her Majesty Elizabeth II,
Queen of Australia is the
same Queen as Her Majesty Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Her other Realms and Territories. For those interested Her other Realms and Territories are 14
remaining dependencies of
which the Falkland Island is the largest and the Commonwealth is made up of 52 developed and developing independent sovereign nations! Can our politicians change the Pre-amble of the Constitution?
- Of course they can NOT.
Our (?) Constitution is not a document in it's own right, but
Section 9 of an Act to
Constitute the Commonwealth of Australia 1900 UK, an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. As a 'self-governing' colony we were only allowed to make
changes (and even then we
are not allowed to alter the meaning of the Constitution), via a referendum, under the Constitution e.g. from Section 9 onwards. Therefore the Pre-amble and the preceding Sections 1-8 were 'out of bounds' and not to be altered, modified or tampered with. They were put in place to keep the control over the colony in the hands of the parliament of the United Kingdom. So where then is John Howard going to put this supposed
Pre-amble that he is talking
about? Believe it or not in the only place he is allowed, if the Constitution was still valid, and that is under Section 9. But no matter what of course Section 9 is and always shall
remain Section 9 of an Act of
the Parliament of the United Kingdom, a Foreign Power ! The only Parliament that can repeal the Constitution is the
parliament of the United
Kingdom, which if it exercises that option (or already has) leaves our nation without law or authority. The only way we can correct this sad situation is by telling
the t r u t h to the people of
Australia and advise them that for some 80 years our politicians and judiciary have deliberately denied the people the chance to exercise their newly acquired sovereign rights. In recognition for the brave efforts of our diggers during WWI we were granted independence by Britain. No nation had paid a greater price than this Dominion, no nation had given a greater sacrifice than Australia who had lost 60,000 men and women to fight for freedom a freedom which sadly was denied to their own families back home. In 1919 our politicians with the consent and knowledge of the judiciary and academia grabbed the Crown's powers for themselves and made this nation live with this shameful lie for an incredible 80 years. And even now in 1999, with the truth out, they are willing to go an and lie in order to try and grab this illegitimate power for themselves once again. Let the people of this great nation now judge those responsible for their greed and sins. PO Box 9112 Seaford Delivery Centre Seaford Vic. 3198 Tel (03) 8796 3861 (03) 8796 3862 Fax (03) 8796 3322 |
