Unconstitutional Monarchy - What we were meant to miss (fwd)


> Dear Senator

> The following message was sent two weeks ago to many Australians,
including

> 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

'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

duty

> 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

> A century ago, when the UK Crown recognised and protected the right to
self-

referendum,

> Now the unconstitutional Commonwealth intends to defy the will of the
people

original

colleagues

> 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

limitations

> 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

federal

> If you want to contribute to the rebirth of that vigorous federal
democracy

federal
