Dear Federal MPs, and others The 'consequential' amendment of sec 126 was raised at the Australian's Adelaide 'town meeting', where Malcolm Turnbull went 'deaf' and the audience microphone went off! This was subsequently suppressed, yet the Australian is still inviting questions from those 'still confused' (including apparently Malcolm Turnbull). If, as an MP you voted for the proposed law, you may already know why the 'amended' sec 126 was added as a 'consequential' amendment', when acting and deputy presidents are covered by the new sec 63. If not, and you still voted for (or against) the amendment, please join us and write to [EMAIL PROTECTED], asking how can the 'amended' sec 126 be a 'consequential' amendment' when acting and deputy presidents are covered by the new sec 63? If you do know why the 'amended' sec 126 was added as a 'consequential' amendment', please let us all know, by telling the Australian and Malcolm Turnbull. Also add you might add other questions like why did the Late Professor G. Clements (eminent UK QC and Emeritus Professor of law at Cambridge) sum up our situation as follows? "The continued usage of the Australian Constitution Act (UK) by the Australian Governments and the judiciary is a confidence trick of monstrous proportions played upon the Australian people with the intent of maintaining power. It remains an Act of the United Kingdom. After joining the League of Nations in 1919 Australia became a sovereign nation. Authority over the Australian Constitution Act lies not with the Australian government nor with the Australian people, it rests solely with the UK. Only they have the authority to repeal this legislation... I have heard some Australian politicians and indeed some members of the academe, who should know a lot better, discussing how they could alter the wording of the Australian Constitution to form the basis of a future republic - what utter nonsense!". May be in truth this not a politicians', but a bureaucrats' republic! The question remains whether these bureaucrats are incompetents, 'real' republicans, and/or the PM's monarchist 'moles'?
