Dear Senator
The following message was sent two weeks ago to many Australians, including
your parliamentary colleagues, and the media, so perhaps you have seen it
despite the suppression of such evidence by most parties to the "Make sure
you know the facts before you have your say." deception and fraud.
Sadly most Senators had your say before you knew the facts. Now after being
deceived and misled by your partisan/political/bureaucratic leaders, you
may feel publicly committed to something most other Australians (as they
become informed, and get time to understand) will reject. Primitive instincts
for personal/partisan loyalties are easily aroused by dishonourable 'leaders'.
They can mislead you to over-ride even your (and their) sworn oaths, and
honourable intentions, to apply laws and democratic procedures necessary
to sustain lasting and progressive nations, and whole civilisations.
The above misleading is also evident in Mr Williams, one of the parties
to the "Make sure you know the facts before you have your say" deception.
He is cited as an author, who wrote "The monarch is the Queen, with the
title Queen of Australia"; but subsequently he said that for the Queen,
being "Queen of Australia" was "a second job, very much a part-time one
at that". Intruduction of the titular "Queen of Australia" into a referendum
about the 'heirs and successors" of Queen Victoria, who are the only monarchs
mentioned in the constitution and the UK Act which makes it law (for both
loyal and disloyal subjects), is part of the sabotage of the constitution
which started in 1920.
The sabotage has been taken up most vigorously by the Murdoch press, for
example the Courier-Mail of 16 October, which editorialised about Australians
as "subjects" which we are not (unless, like officers of the Crown, we submit)
and the UNimportant "titular position" which picks up Mr Williams treachery.
Even more misleading was the C-M's misrepresentation of the the position
of the States, both about a 'signalled' Queensland referendum, and the "indissoluble
Commonwealth" created UNDER THE CROWN, and defined by the UK Act. Stupidly,
in their efforts to confuse, these writers even confuse themselves, for
example by referring to the pre-amble of the UK Act as the "Constitution's
preamble", something Canberra's propaganda says doesn't exist!
The cruel truth is the above sabotage has been possible because of WW1 diggers,
whose efforts and sacrifices (along with those from other dominions) led
the UK to recognise WW1 as a 'rite of passage' from colony to independent
nation. Instead of celebrating their achievements 70 years ago, by developing
a suitable new constitution, in honest consultation with the people of Australia,
successive governments have exploited the trust of decent Australians to
reduce their own political and legal accountability.
While 'Our Inconsequential Referendum & Unconstitutional Monarchy - What
we were meant to miss' focuses on the optimistic opportunities, you as Senators
will quickly understand the likely reactions, both of the rats being cornered
in their own traps, and the loyal descendents of those diggers (and others)
who will want their own 'justice' to settle the fate of treacherous authors
of the 'republic' proposal and their supporters. The way wide public cynicism
and anger towards 'politicians' is fanned by journalistic 'hacks', the duty
of Senators over the coming weeks, months and years will be onerous.
Putting it simply, Senators can join the conspiracy of silence and propaganda,
or you can join the growing number of decent Australians trying to understand
and confront the treachery behind Our 'Inconsequential' Referendum. For
better worse, the consequences will continue beyond the terms of your election.
One aspect of this conspiracy of silence and propaganda, is the anti-democratic
abuse of the (non-binding) constitution.
A century ago, when the UK Crown recognised and protected the right to self-
determination by colonial subjects, no colony was compelled to join the
federation under the Crown, and each held its own referendum. Hence WA
almost remained outside with NZ. When 30+ years later, in another referendum,
WA subjects voted to secede, their freely determined will was frustrated
by our unconstitutional Commonwealth, in sharp contrast to the democracy-
respecting and protecting Crown.
Now the unconstitutional Commonwealth intends to defy the will of the people
of States which vote to remain in the indissoluble "Commonwealth" created
and defined by the UK Act, and define all six existing States as "The original
States". While less violent than Indonesia's annexation of East Timor,
such anti-democratic abuse of the constitution, can only add to the unrest
and tensions already dividing the rest of Australia from the self-serving
Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne elites. These divisions could hardly come at a
worse time for all Australians, but specially those descendents and colleagues
of WW1 diggers, once again fighting for democracy in a foreign, but much
closer land.
I am looking forward to the Senate, as both a 'States' house, and our more
representative chamber, beginning their vital and sworn duty by restoring
the rule of law, and hence executive accountability, peace and good government,
and confidence in our subverted democratic system. Of course you will
need help but you can be sure that Abraham Lincoln's words ("Give the people
the truth, and they will save the nation.") are as true here and now, as
they were there and then.

According to the full page advertisement 'Announcing the November 6 Referendums'
the Electoral Commissioner has received writs issued by His Excellency the
Governor-General on the following proposed laws: (Most of the rest of the
the full page advertisement lists the details the "proposed law to ... republic
with the Queen and Governor-General being replaced by a President ..."
All pretty boring unless you were alerted by those ubiquitous "Constitution"
T-junction advertisements asking "Which way do you want to go?". Surely
'No' to the proposed law means 'straight on', not change direction. So
why the T-junction and no "Constitution" if we choose to go 'straight on'?
If you want to understand, read the so-called 'consequential amendment'
to Section 126 of the "Constitution" in context of the following. The existing
Section 126 and its 'consequential' amendment are shown below.
Existing Section 126
The existing Section 126, in Chapter VII, MISCELLANEOUS is:
"The Queen may authorise the Governor-General to appoint any person, or
persons jointly or severally, to be his deputy or deputies within any part
of the Commonwealth and in that capacity to exercise during the pleasure
of the Governor-General such powers and functions of the Governor-General
as he thinks fit to assign to such deputy or deputies, subject to any limitations
expressed or directions given by the Queen; but the appointment of such
deputy or deputies shall not affect the exercise by the Governor-General
himself of any power or function."
'Consequential' amendment
According to the proposed law to establish a republic with the Queen and
Governor-General being replaced by a President, the consequential amendment
would be: Repeal the (existing) section and substitute:
"This Constitution, and all laws made by the Parliament shall be binding
on the courts, judges, and people of every State and of every part of the
Commonwealth, notwithstanding anything in the laws of any State".
It is interesting to compare the above with 'covering clause' 5 of the UK
Act to constitute the Commonwealth of Australia:
"This Act, and all laws made by the Parliament of the Commonwealth under
the Constitution, shall be binding on the courts, judges, and people of
every State and of every part of the Commonwealth, notwithstanding anything
in the laws of any State; ... "
After reading the above three quotations, its hard to avoid at least three
important conclusions:
1. The proposed amendment of Section 126 is NOT a consequential amendment,
but a seriously misleading deception apparently intended (at least by those
MPs who voted for the bill) to conceal the legal truth that since Australia
became an independent nation, all laws made by the Parliament of the Commonwealth
under the Constitution, have not bound the courts etc! (Examples of the
success of this deception are letters like Colin Laing's of Belbowrie, published
in the Courier-Mail on 5 October 1999; but don't expect the Murdoch editors
to publish the truth after they get their copy of this.)
2. With the above very serious and misleading deception 'hidden' under "Miscellaneous"
'consequences' in the the proposed law to establish a republic, even the
'double majority' required by Section 128 before the Governor-General could
present it to the Queen for assent, would not prevent a void referendum.
The proposed amendment of Section 126 is all too clearly NOT a consequential
amendment. (Even if a contrary decision of the High Court was binding here,
the Queen has both the common law of elections, and the advice of her Privy
Council, and would not be so foolish as the Governor-General.)
3. Until the people of Australia can freely express their informed will
according to Article 21(3) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
Australia is and remains an Unconstitutional Monarchy, with both its inherent
hazards (as demonstrated by the proposed law), and the almost unbounded
opportunities for the good people of Australia to realise the vigorous federal
democracy conceived on the 19th century goldfields, but subverted for most
of the 20th century by some of the worst people of Australia.
If you want to contribute to the rebirth of that vigorous federal democracy
please forward this to as many as you can and discuss it with family and
friends. You could try to involve your local newspapers, talk-back radio
and even voluntary organisations. And don't forget local, state and federal
MPs (who are probably as ignorant as you about Section 126). Your federal
MPs should get a copy of this, although some are 'too busy' to read such
things even if their staff do try!
You are also welcome to reply to this e-mail with queries and suggestions,
but please don't expect all the answers. The answers (including the fate
of treacherous authors of the 'republic' proposal and their supporters)
can come only out of the free and informed democratic process themselves,
and will be more exciting, and liberating of our oppressed battlers, than
anything one individual (monarchy/tyranny), or group (oligarchy/bureaucracy)
could even imagine, let alone achieve.
Of course if you are not yet ready for so much freedom, simply continue
to acquiesce, and the Constitution is binding. For extra protection just
submit to the UK laws, like all those who have taken the oath or affirmation
of allegience to Her Majesty, including Justice Hayne of the High Court,
who in Joose v ASIC last December, resolved the question "what law is to
be applied in the courts of Australia?" by reference to the above covering
clause 5 of the UK Act.
