Subject: Politicians' or Bureaucrats' Republic, & some Referendum Questions
for the Australian
> 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'?
