    AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN5.

    Re-Former WorkChoices elements, etc

    .

    Tony,

    As a CONSTITUTIONALIST I place constitutional matters before my private desires10and to give an example while I oppose racial discrimination I recognise that the Framers of the

    Constitution specifically provided for a racist constitution as s.51(xxvi) is a clear example of this.

    And in 1967 the electors upheld this racism by approving an amendment to include Aboriginalsin it also.

    .15For the record it was held that s.51(xxvi) was to serve as the Framers of the Constitution held to

    keep inferior coloured races out of the Commonwealth of Australia as much as possible and to

    allow the Commonwealth of Australia to discriminate against such inferior coloured races but

    it could not be used against the general public. The Framers of the constitution at the time very

    much had also in mind the British nationals from India who they were concerned could swamp20Australia, if s.51(xxvi) was not to be included. The Framers of the Constitution also made clear

    that no International Law could override the constitution, such as its racism.

    I am not aware that there was ever any amendment proposed to all together remove by

    amendment of the Constitution s.51(xxvi) of the constitution and again to the contrary in the1967 referendum the provisions were extended to now also include Aboriginals as an inferior25coloured race. Ok, I was not at the time residing in the Commonwealth of Australia and so dont

    blame me for that stupidity, as I would label it.

    .

    I understand from media reports that you now propose to bring back certain parts of

    WorkChoices and it seems to me you might just continue the musical chairs and the Liberal30Party soon be dumping you also, as they did with Malcolm Turnbull.

    To be honest this WorkChoices issue never did personally affect me as to deny me anything

    other that it would interfere with my constitutional rights to have legislation enacted that is and

    must be within the constitutional framework.

    .35Consider Sue v Hillfor example versus;Hansard 2-3-1898 Constitution Convention DebatesQUOTE

    Mr. SYMON.-The honorable and learned member is now dealing with another matter.

    Would not the provision which is now before us confer upon the Federal Parliament the40

    power to take away a portion of this dual citizenship, with which the honorable and learned

    member (Dr. Quick) has so eloquently dealt? If that is the case, what this Convention isasked to do is to hand over to the Federal Parliament the power, whether exercised or not,

    of taking away from us that citizenship in the Commonwealth which we acquire by joining

    the Union. I am not going to put that in the power of any one, and if it is put in the power of45 the Federal Parliament, then I should feel that it was a very serious blot on the Constitution,

    and a very strong reason why it should not be accepted. It is not a lawyers' question ; it is a

    question of whether any one of British blood who is entitled to become a citizen of the

    Commonwealth is to run the risk-it may be a small risk-of having that taken away or

    diminished by the Federal Parliament! When we declare-"Trust the Parliament," I am

    willing to do it in everything which concerns the working out of this Constitution, but I amnot prepared to trust the Federal Parliament or anybody to take away that which is a leading5

    inducement for joining the Union.

    QUOTE10

    Mr. SYMON (South Australia).-I think the honorable member (Mr. Wise) has expanded

    the spirit of federation far beyond anything any of us has hitherto contemplated. He hasenlarged, with great emphasis, on the necessity of establishing and securing one

    citizenship. Now, the whole purpose of this Constitution is to secure a dual citizenship.

    That is the very essence of a federal system. We have debated that matter again and again.15

    We are not here for unification, but for federation, and the dual citizenship must be

    recognised as lying at the very basis of this Constitution.

    END QUOTE

    .You find that the Framers of the Constitution specifically denied the Commonwealth of Australia20

    to define what citizenship was to be about. Well, I invite you to show me where is the

    constitutional powers for the Commonwealth of Australia for example to determine the

    nationality of a child born in the Commonwealth of Australia? You will find that first of all

    citizenship is different then nationality and that while the Commonwealth has legislativepowers as to naturalise ALIENS it has no legislative powers to declare/define the nationality of25

    any child born within the Commonwealth of Australia!

    As I pointed out in previous correspondence to you the High Court of Australia in 1975 issue

    then held that the three month period referred to in the constitution is from the time the bill issubmitted into the House of Representative until the time it is submitted for the second time into35

    the Senate, and this is clearly wrong, as I foreshadow I will set out in a future correspondence,

    which already is to some 40 pages. Hey, dont blame me for being accurate in setting out

    constitutional matters.

    The same is with numerous other judgments of the High Court of Australia where it arrived toill-conceived decisions and one is the 14-11-2006 WorkChoices decision.40

    The CD version sets out in 076-Chapter 022A -failure of the case-etc in details why the High

    Court of Australia had an ill-conceived judgement.

    It exposes how the High Court of Australia took out of context what the Framers of the

    Constitution actually had stated and worse how it concealed from its judgment relevantstatements to show that WorkChoices legislation was in fact unconstitutional.5

    I have no alliance with any political party and as such I am free to expose any rot. If you are

    embarking upon reviving any parts of WorkChoices that is unconstitutional then rest assured that

    you more then likely are reintroducing the musical chair event and you soon be on the outer also.

    .

    Leadership must be including that a leader doesnt simply pursue whatever he may desire10but to first of all establish if what he desires is legally (constitutionally) appropriate.

    .

    To give you an example: I might desire my neighbours car and may lay claim I can look after it

    better and bring up any excuse under the horizon to justify me to take possession of the motorvehicle but in the end if I am not lawfully permitted to do so then that is the basic criteria to stop15

    me.

    Likewise, you may desire for whatever reason to bring in certain elements of WorkChoices but in

    the end I am a CONSTITUTIONALIST and before you try to interfere with my constitution as

    it belongs as much to me as anyone else you better be prepared to check out you are not relyingupon some dud judicial decision to discover later it will be overruled.20

    .

    I recall the then purported Cross Vesting Act where in 1994 Dawson J of the High Court of

    Australia simply disregarded the constitutional validity of the legislation and made known it wasa law and was to be applied. Later the High Court of Australia against Mr Could likewise made

    this decision albeit then holding it was constitutionally valid. Yet in Wakim HCA 27 of 1999 the25

    High Court of Australia then reversed its previous decision and held that the then purported

    Cross Vesting Act in fact was unconstitutional!

    A major problem we have with the High Court of Australia is that as one judge (H) madeclear when he had to hand down a decision in an appeal case where there was a three for and

    three against upholding the appeal, he didnt know the constitutional issue and so refrained from30handing down a decision. Meaning the appellant lost his case because a High Court of Australia

    judge being paid to do a job simply seemed to know as much as one of my grandchildren knows

    at birth about the constitutional issue. It is therefore clear that judges of the High Court ofAustralia without training wheels are so to say appointed and required to do a mans job for

    which they have no proper training and experiences.35.

    with my honorable and learned friend (Mr. Carruthers) that we should be very careful of

    every word that we put in this Constitution, and that we should have no word in it which

    we do not see some reason for. Because there can be no question that in time to come,

    when this Constitution has to be interpreted, every word will be weighed and aninterpretation given to it; and by the use now of what I may describe as idle words which5

    we have no use for, we may be giving a direction to the Constitution which none of us now

    contemplate. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to see that there is some reason for every

    clause and every word that goes into this Constitution.

    That this is not like an Act of Parliament which we are passing. It is not in the positionwhich Mr. Barton has described, of choosing or setting up a code of laws to interpret the

    common law of England. This Constitution we are framing is not yet passed. It has to15

    be handed over not to a Convention similar to this, not to a small select body of

    legislators, but to the whole body of the people for their acceptance or rejection. It is

    the whole body of the people whose understanding you have to bring to bear upon it,

    and it is the whole body of the people, the more or less instructed body of the people,who have to understand clearly everything in the Constitution, which affects them for20

    weal or woe during the whole time of the existence of this Commonwealth. We cannot

    have on the platform, when this Constitution is commended to the people, lawyers on

    both sides, drawing subtle distinctions, which may or may not be appreciated by thepeople.

    words could possibly lead to the interpretation that this is necessarily a Christian

    country and not otherwise, because the words "relying upon the blessing of Almighty30

    does not remain in the hands of the states; and if you place in the hands of the

    Commonwealth the power to prevent such practices as I have described you should not

    defeat that regulative power of the Commonwealth . I do not think that that applies at all,however, to any power of regulating the lives and proceedings of citizens, because we

    do not give any such power to the Commonwealth, whilst we do give the45Commonwealth power with regard to alien races; and having given that power, we

    should take care not to take away an incident of it which it may be necessary for the

    Commonwealth to use by way of regulation. I have had great hesitation about this matter,

    Therefore, it must be clear that as I view it the High Court of Australia acted TREASONOUS to

    the people of the Commonwealth of Australia and cannot be excused for having failed to provide

    in its judgments the very quotations used above where this would have made clear its judgment

    was ill-conceived..5

    Now before someone was to jump on the bandwagon that I should be charge for placing the High

    Court of Australia in disrepute let it be very clear that on 7-6-2006 I published also one of my

    books titled;

    .

    INSPECTOR-RIKATI & What is the -Australian way of life- really?10A book on CD on Australians political, religious & other rights

    ISBN 0-9751760-2-1 (prior to 1-1-2007) ISBN 978-0-9751760-2-3

    .

    This book contained the above material also and even more was filed as evidence in the litigationbetween the Commonwealth versus myself and on 19 July 2006 the court having been provided15

    with all this material during a 5-year epic legal battle then upheld my cases against the

    Commonwealth of Australia and for the record none of the Attorney-Generals or for that the

    highly paid lawyers of the Commonwealth of Australia were able to challenge anything I had

    stated, at least they never did and as such there was for the court on the one hand this material Ihad submitted and on the other hand nothing opposing my numerous constitutional and other20

    submissions! What is therefore clear that the States (all having been served years earlier in 2002

    with a NOTICE OF CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS and the Commonwealth likewise were

    so to say dumbfounded by the numerous constitutional issues I submitted and as one of theFederal Government lawyers made known to me that he never had known any person who knew

    so much about the constitution and also was able to present it in court.25

    .

    Now consider yourself having just that journalistic itch and surely like hell you are not going to

    have me one over you and you are determine to sort this out, well you will undoubtly find thatindeed I comprehensively defeated the Commonwealth in both cases and so unchallenged. As

    such on that basis where I have already succeeded in the courts upon the same then obviously I30cannot place the High Court of Australia in disrepute to show its incompetence and betrayal to

    the people of Australia but rather it does so itself..

    Mr. SYMON.-The honorable and learned member is now dealing with another matter.Would not the provision which is now before us confer upon the Federal Parliament the25

    power to take away a portion of this dual citizenship, with which the honorable and learned

    member (Dr. Quick) has so eloquently dealt? If that is the case, what this Convention is

    asked to do is to hand over to the Federal Parliament the power, whether exercised or not,

    of taking away from us that citizenship in the Commonwealth which we acquire by joining

    the Union. I am not going to put that in the power of any one, and if it is put in the power of30the Federal Parliament, then I should feel that it was a very serious blot on the Constitution,

    and a very strong reason why it should not be accepted. It is not a lawyers' question ; it is a

    question of whether any one of British blood who is entitled to become a citizen of the

    Commonwealth is to run the risk-it may be a small risk-of having that taken away ordiminished by the Federal Parliament! When we declare-"Trust the Parliament," I am35

    willing to do it in everything which concerns the working out of this Constitution, but I am

    not prepared to trust the Federal Parliament or anybody to take away that which is a leading

    inducement for joining the Union.

    they were born when there were several Kings of the several kingdoms, and the [7-Coke-27

    several Kings; yet it was resolved, that all those that were born under one natural

    obedience while the realms were united under one sovereign, should remain natural

    born subjects, and no aliens; for that naturalization due and vested by birthright,

    cannot by any separation of the Crowns afterward be taken away: nor he that was by15

    In the preamble honorable members will find that what we desire to do is to unite in one

    indissoluble Federal Commonwealth -that is the political Union-"under the Crown of the40

    United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , and under the Constitution hereby

    established." Honorable members will therefore see that the application of the wordCommonwealth is to the political Union which is sought to be established. It is not intended

    there to have any relation whatever to the name of the country or nation which we are going

    to create under that Union. The second part of the preamble goes on to say that it is45

    expedient to make provision for the admission of other colonies into the Commonwealth.

    That is, for admission into this political Union, which is not a republic, which is not tobe called a dominion, kingdom, or empire, but is to be a Union by the name of

    "Commonwealth," and I do not propose to interfere with that in the slightest degree.END QUOTE50.

    a purported title of Queen of Australia isnt going to make her to be a Queen of Australia and

    QUOTE Mr. BARTON.-Providing, as this Constitution does, for a free people to elect a free Parliament-giving that people

    through their Parliament the power of the purse-laying at their mercy from day to day the existence of40any Ministry which dares by corruption, or drifts through ignorance into, the commission of any actwhich is unfavorable to the people having this security, it must in its very essence be a free

    Constitution. Whatever any one may say to the contrary that is secured in the very way in which thefreedom of the British Constitution is secured. It is secured by vesting in the people, through theirrepresentatives, the power of the purse, and I venture [start page 2477] to say there is no other way of45securing absolute freedom to a people than that, unless you make a different kind of Executive than

    that which we contemplate, and then overload your Constitution with legislative provisions to protectthe citizen from interference. Under this Constitution he is saved from every kind of interference.Under this Constitution he has his voice not only in the, daily government of the country, but in the

    daily determination of the question of whom is the Government to consist. There is the guarantee of50freedom in this Constitution. There is the guarantee which none of us have sought to remove, but every

    one has sought to strengthen. How we or our work can be accused of not providing for the popular

    liberty is something which I hope the critics will now venture to explain, and I think I have made theirwork difficult for them. Having provided in that way for a free Constitution, we have provided for anExecutive which is charged with the duty of maintaining the provisions of that Constitution; and,55therefore, it can only act as the agents of the people.

In doing these things, have we not provided, first, that our Constitution shall be free:next, that its government shall be by the will of the people, which is the just result of their freedom: thirdly,

    that the Constitution shall not, nor shall any of its provisions, be twisted or perverted, inasmuch as a courtappointed by their own Executive, but acting independently, is to decide what is a perversion of its5provisions?

What I mean is this: That if you, after making a Constitution of10this kind, enable any Government or any Parliament to twist or infringe its provisions, then by slowdegrees you may have that Constitution-if not altered in terms-so whittled away in operation that the

    guarantees of freedom which it gives your people will not be maintained; and so, in the highest sense,the court you are creating here, which is to be the final interpreter of that Constitution, will be such atribunal as will preserve the popular liberty in all these regards, and will prevent, under any pretext of15constitutional action, the Commonwealth from dominating the states, or the states from usurping the

    As I understand it many Australians wouldnt give a hood which political party they vote for as
