Documenting Constitutional changes by the Victorian Parliament and the Governors from 1901 without conducting a Referendum.
Forward
This document has been prepared with just 3 questions for the High Court of Australia to answer as Inter Se arguments namely questions of law between Commonwealth and State Laws including Constitution Acts. Also conclusive evidence to highlight the behaviours of the State, Territory and Commonwealth Parliaments regarding constitutional changes of the State of Victoria made without referendums are presented within the pages of the document.

Questions formed from the basis of the Evidence presented within document.
Question 1. Is a State or Territory Parliament permitted to change any part of, or create or repeal their original constitution Act or a lawfully consented Constitution Act Amendment Act under Section 106 Commonwealth Constitution without conducting a referendum as per Section 128 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act from 1st January 1901 states? Question 2. Is a State or Territory Parliament permitted to create another form of Government namely Local Government within their original Constitutions as per their powers under Sections 106, 107 &108 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act without conducting a Referendum as per Section 128 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act from 1st January 1901? Question 3. Is the Commonwealth Parliament under their limited powers within Section 51 & 52 Commonwealth Constitution; and/or any State and Territory Parliaments under their limited powers within Section 106, 107 & 108 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act permitted to amend the correct UK Seal and the correct wording to the enactment of all Acts of Parliament including the Constitution Acts from His/Her Most Excellent Majesty to The Queen or The Parliament of Australia or The Parliament of namely Victoria or any State or Territory, inclusive of the Legislature of NSW enacts as follows without conducting a Referendum?

List of Constitutional Changes without any referendums.

Page 124 to Page 149

A list Constitutional changes by the Victorian Parliament and Governors after 1st January 1901 to 30th June 2013 all assented (consented) without a Referendum to the 1855 original Constitution for the Colony of Victoria [Victoria Constitution Act 1855 (UK) and (PDF) link from Documenting Democracy (Founding.docs.gov.au)] and the Constitution Act Amendment Act 1890. All Parliaments of the Colonies who agreed to become State Parliaments from 1901 were required to put a Referendum process into their original Constitutions and therefore from 1901 were restricted on changing, creating, or repealing (removing) any Constitution Act without conducting a Referendum as per Section 128 states for any change to the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901. From my research NO Colony Parliament that agreed to become a STATE Parliament as per covering Clause 6 conformed to the Commonwealth Constitution by inserting a Referendum process as required from 1st January 1901.

1. A Colonies Constitution such as the Colony of Victoria 1855 Constitution Act under Section 60 could be amended from the 1855 Constitution Act as long as it did not breach a law of England and was consented to by Queen Victoria and the UK Parliament, then it was a lawful change. The Constitution Act Amendment Act 1890 No. 1075 assented 10-07-1890. This Constitution contains a section that re-affirms No tax on private property namely aiding Estate or Grant in Fee Simple. Section 132 of The Constitution Act Amendment Act 1890 stating an extended meaning of Section 15 of the original 1855 Constitution Act. Section 132 No public or parliamentary tax nor any municipal or borough rate or other rate or assessment (valuations) shall (must) be deemed to be any charge payable out of or in respect of any lands or tenements within the meaning of this Act. The Colony of Victoria has breached Section 15 of the original Constitution Act 1855 [No public Tax, Rate or Charge shall be deemed to be any Charge or Incumbrance on Lands within the meaning of this Act.]; since approximately 1863 under the Municipal Corporations Act.

2. Section 60 Constitution Act 1855 LX. The Legislature of Victoria, as constituted by this Act, shall have full Power and Authority from Time to Time, by any Act or Acts, to repeal, alter, or vary all or any of the Provisions of this Act, and to substitute others in lieu thereof: Provided, that it shall not be lawful to present to the Governor of said Colony for Her Majestys Assent any Bill by which an Alteration in the Constitution of the said Legislative Council, or Legislative Assembly, or in the said Schedule hereunto annexed marked D., may be made, unless the Second and Third Readings of such Bill shall have been passed with the Concurrence of an absolute Majority of the whole Number of the Members of the Legislative Council and of the Legislative Assembly respectively : Provided also, that every Bill which shall be so passed shall be reserved for the Signification of Her Majestys Pleasure thereon.

Provision should therefore be made in the federal constitution which will [start page 478] enable the people of each state to adopt by the vote of the majority of voters, their own form of state constitution.

5. Official Hansard Friday 6-3-1891 Constitution Convention Debates by Mr. Thynne: Quote: Page 14 The constitution of this federation will not be charged with the duty of resisting privileged classes, for the whole power will be vested in the people themselves. They are the complete legislative power of the whole of these colonies, and they shall be so. From [start page 106] them will rise, first of all, the federal constitution which we are proposing to establish, and in the next place will come the legislative powers of the several colonies. The people will be the authority above and beyond the separate legislatures, and the royal prerogative exercised, in their interest and for their benefit, by the advice of their ministers will be practically vested in them. They will exercise the sovereignty of the states, they will be charged with the full power and dignity of the state, and it is from them that we must seek the giving to each of those bodies that will be in existence concurrently the necessary powers for their proper management and existence. Each assembly, each legislature, whether state or federal existing under this constitution, will be as Dicey again says-a merely subordinate law-making body whose laws will be valid, whilst within the authority conferred upon it by the constitution, but invalid and unconstitutional if they go beyond the limits of such authority. End Quote 6. Official Hansard Friday 6-3-1891 Constitution Convention Debates by Mr. Thynne: Further Quote: Page 15 I think these resolutions would be much embellished and improved did they contain a provision which would establish the right of the people of the colonies to pass not only the proposed constitution, but to have all future amendments of it submitted to their direct vote for approval. That is a thoroughly democratic system, by which the people are guarded against hasty and ill-considered changes of the constitution; and the suggestion which I make is one which, I think, might fairly receive from gentlemen who will follow me a little consideration. It has already been suggested that the introduction of the referendum would be a very useful thing. I am not now prepared to fully discuss that question. It would take me a long time to elaborate it; but I do think that, whether we do or do not at any future time introduce the referendum, as in Switzerland, in its application to all legislation, we may very well, and with great advantage, adopt that particular portion of it which deals with constitution changes. It is in accordance with the theory which I put forward, of the people being the great power-really the sovereign power-in these states that, before the Crown is asked to give its assent to any legislation making changes in the Constitution, the people themselves should be asked to give their sanction to it. End Quote 7. Dr Cockburn: Tuesday 10-03-1891 Official Hansard Convention Debates: Quote All our experience hitherto has been under the condition of parliamentary sovereignty. Parliament has been the supreme body. But when we embark on federation we throw parliamentary sovereignty overboard. Parliament is no longer supreme. Our parliaments at present are not only legislative, but constituent bodies. They have not only the power of legislation, but the power of amending their constitutions. That must disappear at once on the abolition of parliamentary sovereignty. No parliament under a federation can be a constituent body; it will cease to have the power of changing its constitution at its own will. Again, instead of parliament being supreme, the parliaments of a federation are coordinate bodies-the main power is split up, instead of being vested in one body. End Quote.

8. HANSARD 17-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates Bottom of page 5 and top of page 6: Mr. BARTON. Quote: Of course it will be argued that this Constitution will have been made by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. That will be true in one sense, but not true in effect, because the provisions of this Constitution, the principles which it embodies, and the details of enactment by which those principles are enforced, will all have been the work of Australians. I think it is right and fit that the highest court in Australia should be left as the guardian of the expressions of the people, and the sole body to determine finally what the people meant when they used those expressions. End Quote. 9. HANSARD 17-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates Quote: Mr. BARTON.- Having provided in that way for a free Constitution, we have provided for an Executive which is charged with the duty of maintaining the provisions of that Constitution; and, therefore, it can only act as the agents of the people. End Quote 10. Official Hansard 17-2-1898 Constitution Convention Debates Quote Mr. OConnor We must remember that in any legislation of the Commonwealth we are dealing with the Constitution. Our own Parliaments do as they think fit almost within any limits. In this case the Constitution will be above Parliament, and Parliament will have to conform to it. End Quote. 11. Annotated Constitution for the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act by Quick and Garran Page 990 Commentaries on the Constitution Section 128 Referendum process: Quote The Constitution could be amended in its most vital part, the amending power itself, by providing that alterations may be initiated by the people, according to the plan of the Swiss Popular Initiative ; that proposed alterations may be formulated by the Executive and submitted to the people ; that proposed alterations may, with certain constitutional exceptions, become law on being approved by a majority of the electors voting, dispensing with the necessity of a majority of the States. Amendments of the Constitution would not necessarily be confined to the machinery, organization, and operation of the Federal Government ; they might include changes of function as well as changes of structure. New powers and function could be added, or existing powers and functions could be withdrawn.

Page | 5

12. Continued Quote Nor is the scope of the amending power restricted to the structure and functions of the Federal Government ; it extends to the structure and functions of the Governments of the States. Indeed, nearly every extension of powers and functions granted to the Federal Government would involve a consequential contraction of powers and functions in the Governments of the States ; and if a constitutional amendment could so alter the powers and functions of the Governments of the States, why should it not be capable of dealing, if necessary, with the Constitutions and political organization of the States?. We say if necessary ; for the necessity may never arise ; but the dormant power is there, and may be used in an extraordinary emergency, if the States neglect or refuse to adjust their constitutional arrangements to harmonize with the Federal developments and requirements. Amendments of the Constitution need not be limited even to the functions and organization of Federal Government and State Government. They might go further, and embrace fundamental laws relating to the rights, privileges, immunities, and duties of the people of the Commonwealth, placing them beyond the domain of Federal legislation and equally outside the sphere of State legislation. The American Constitution contains a Bill of Rights. Neither Congress nor the Legislatures of the States could interfere with or alter one jot or bittle of those fundamental rights.End Quote 13.

As the Official Hansard Convention Debates from 1890 to 1899 certainly confirm that the people of each State must have a say to amend the Commonwealth Constitution Act inclusive of any State or Territory Constitution. Please find quotes from the Annotated notes of the Commonwealth Constitution by Quick and Garran 1901 and High Court cases concerning the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 and the Constitution itself; namely Clause 9 (Chapters 1 to 8 or Sections 1 to 128) commenced on 1st January 1901, that all State Constitutions and all Commonwealth, State and Territory Laws are subject to the Commonwealth Constitution from the Preamble to Section 128. Both Hansard Debates and the Quick and Garran are applicable within any court of any State, Territory within the Commonwealth of Australia under 1901 Commonwealth Act: STATE LAWS AND RECORDS

Summary of the Referendum process to approve the An Act to Constitute the Commonwealth of Australia by Barton. J (J refers to a Justice of the court) in the above case: Quote: Certain States, then called Colonies, perfectly independent in relation to each other, three of them on the continent of Australia, and another adjacent to it on the south, agreed to be represented according to the votes of the people by a Convention for the purpose of drawing up a constitution, afterwards to be submitted to popular vote. A fifth State sent representatives elected by its legislators. The Convention met first in 1897 at Adelaide, where it brought up a draft bill afterwards submitted to the legislatures for their suggestions, under Statutory provisions. The Convention again met and further considered the bill, in Sydney in 1897, and in Melbourne in 1898. 17. Continued Summary by Justice Barton: In March of the last-mentioned year it brought up what is called the Draft Bill of 1898. Pausing for a moment, I must say in passing that we have been urged to modify what would seem to be the plain meaning of the words of three sections of the Constitution by the fact that in 1891 there were financial provisions, considered by the plaintiff's counsel to favor their contention, inserted in a draft bill by a Convention. That was a body delegated by the several Parliaments, and was not, like the Convention of 1897-8, chosen under Statutes which severally prescribed that the result of its labours, the Draft Constitution, should be submitted to the direct vote of the people. Again, there were substituted expressions in the draft brought up at Adelaide which, it is contended, justify the contention of the plaintiff State. Both these provisions lost their places during the final consideration of the draft bill to be submitted to the people, which was so submitted in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, in 1898, and which, so far as the financial arrangements are concerned, is identical in terms with the Constitution itself. It seems to me that the argument that an expression put by an earlier Convention into a draft Constitution is to influence us towards the construction of this Constitution which is afterwards in operation, acts as a two-edged sword, because the abandonment of the earlier provision shows if anything that the Convention had relinquished the idea of submitting it to the people, whose approval was by law essential. The successive alterations of the drafts seem rather to point to the view, not that the final provisions are to be interpreted in the same sense as those struck out of the draft, but that the first intentions were given up, and that entirely different intentions, to be gathered from the language of the Constitution, are those by which we are to abide. Proceeding with my narration of the history of the matter, I said that when the Convention finished its work there was a draft, called the draft of 1898, submitted to the people under the provisions of Statutes of the several States. At this stage only four States were concerned, Queensland and Western Australia taking no part?

Continued Summary by Justice Barton: In the referendum which was taken each of the four States had a majority in favor of the bill, but in the case of New South Wales the number of votes, although a majority, did not reach the limit fixed by a certain Statute, and so in the result the whole of the referendum proved abortive. Afterwards, a conference of the Premiers of the States met, alterations were made in the draft, not even in a remote degree affecting the provisions we are now discussing, and that bill was finally adopted, at the second referendum in 1899, by the four States which, in the previous year, had given majorities in its favor. The State of Queensland in 1899, and the State of Western Australia in 1900, then adopted by referendum the same Bill. The only amendment of substance made by the Imperial Parliament was in the 74th section, and with that amendment the Bill adopted by the people in 1899 and 1900 is now the Constitution.

Official Hansard 22-2-1898 Constitution Convention Debates Mr. SYMON (South Australia).- Quote: That this is not like an Act of Parliament which we are passing. It is not in the position which 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 to 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 understand clearly everything in the Constitution, which affects them for 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 the people. End Quote

21. Comment: The people of the Colony of Victoria by Referendum as described in the above case Tasmania v Commonwealth [1904] HCA 11; (1904) 1 CLR 329 (8 June 1904), approved the draft of the Commonwealth Constitution for the Commonwealth of Australia and the Constitution itself at Clause 9 to be formerly approved by Queen Victoria on 9th July 1900. All Colonies approved the Referendum by 1900 to portray the responsibility of a State as per Clause 6 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1900 and as per the Clause 9 The Constitution all enacted on 1st January 1901. The new State of Victoria just like all other purported States have neglected to include the Referendum process into their original or Amended Constitutions before 1st January 1901. The purported State of Victoria certainly neglected to include the Referendum process into their 1855 Constitution as stipulated by Section 128, 106 and 107 Commonwealth Constitution Act. A Referendum must be held for the creation of a new Constitution or for any change, amendment or repeal of the original 1855 Constitution Act or the 1890 Constitution Act Amendment Act from 1st January 1901.

22. The Preamble to An Act to Constitute the Commonwealth of Australia WHEREAS THE PEOPLE: of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established: And whereas it is expedient to provide for the admission into the Commonwealth of the other Australasian Colonies and possessions of the Queen: Be it therefore enacted by the Queens most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

23. Page 928 Annotated version of Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act by Quick and Garran 1901: the Constitution contains a section enabling the people of the united community, in the exercise of their quasi-sovereign power, to amend the supreme instrument of government itself. This power of amendment enables the people, if necessary, to redistribute the powers granted and apportioned by the Constitution, either by taking from the State Governments and giving to the Federal Government, or by taking from the Federal Government and giving to the State Governments. The subjoined conspectus may be used to illustrate the relation of the State Governments to the Federal Government, and the joint relation of both to the amending power, to the Constitution, and to the Commonwealth-:

24. Page 301 Annotated Constitution: By the Queens Most Excellent Majesty: The enacting words, showing the Authority by which the Commonwealth is created, are in the form in which Acts of Parliament have been framed from a remote period of English history. According to theory of the Constitution the Queen is the source of all law, the Queen makes new laws, the Queen alters or repeals old laws, subject only to the condition that this Supreme power must be exercised by Parliament and not otherwise. Every Act of Parliament bears on its face the stamp and evidence of its royal authority. It springs from the authority is, according to Constitutional theory, directly vested. Parliament is the body assigned by law to advise to Crown in matters of legislation, and the Crown could not legally legislate without the advice and consent of Parliament. 25. Top of Page 931 Annotated Constitution by Quick and Garran 1901: Quote: The Federal Government and the State Governments are, within their respective spheres and areas, subject equally to the Constitution, and, in the last resort, to the Imperial Parliament. End Quote. (Relevant Part) Comment: If this is true inclusive of the quote on page 301 then a Referendum must be held to change any part of a State or the Commonwealth Constitution. Obviously the Commonwealth Parliament enjoy abusing their limited power under Section 51 by utilizing sub section 38 for The Royal Styles and Titles Act 1973 for the creation of the Queen of Australia and The Australia Act 1986 or the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942 (No. 56 of 1942) into the Commonwealth Constitution without a Referendum; inclusive of the International Treaties. The people of Australia have not been consulted, as there are no Referendums recorded by the AEC or the VEC in Victoria for the Commonwealth or Victorian Parliament to enact these Acts.

26. Page 988 Annotated Constitution by Quick and Garran 1901: Quote: A Federal Legislature is a mere creature of the Federal Constitution; it is a mere instrument or servant of the federal community ; it is an agent, NOT A MASTER. The Constitution is the master of the legislature, and the community itself is the author of the Constitution. The test of the federal system lies in the principle that the central Government cannot destroy nor modify the local, nor the local Government the central. Now, this relation between central and local Government is impossible unless both rest upon a common basis, i.e., the co-ordination of these independent Governments as parts of a harmonious political system requires an organization of the sovereign, the State, distinct from and supreme over both.

R v Richards; Ex parte Fitzpatrick & Browne [1955] HCA 36; (1955) 92 CLR 157 (24 June 1955) Dixon C.J Quote: Paragraph 13: It is convenient, first, to go to the important argument that this Constitution of Australia is a rigid federal Constitution under which it is the duty of the courts of the Commonwealth, and, indeed, the courts of law generally, to consider whether any act done in pursuance of the powers given by the Constitution, whether by the legislature or by the executive, is beyond the power which the Constitution assigns to that body. (at p165)

Page | 10

28. Paragraph 14: As a general proposition, the truth of that consideration admits of no denial. It is a Constitution which deals with the demarcation of powers, leaves to the courts of law the question of whether there has been any excess of power, and requires them to pronounce as void any act which is ultra vires. In the everyday work of this Court, we are accustomed to examining the validity of Acts of Parliament. Less often does the validity of an executive act come to be considered, but it stands upon the same footing. (Relevant Part) End Quote. Comment: Blacks Law Dictionary 9th Edition from 1990 onwards.

29. King v Jones [1972] HCA 44; (1972) 128 CLR 221 (1 September 1972) Barwick C.J: Paragraph 10. Quote: There are some basic propositions of constitutional construction which are beyond controversy. The words of the Constitution are to be read in that natural sense they bore in the circumstances of their enactment by the Imperial Parliament in 1900. That meaning remains, beyond the reach of any Australian Parliament, subject only to alteration by the means provided by s. 128 of the Constitution. The connotation of words employed in the Constitution does not change though changing events and attitudes may in some circumstances extend the denotation or reach of those words. These propositions are fully documented in the reported decisions of this Court which has the task of finally and authoritatively deciding both the connotation and the denotation of the language of the Constitution.

Paragraph 11 Quote: The focus of attention in the argument of Mobil is not the defendant, but the group members. That inverts the usual principle as to the jurisdiction of a court, which is the capacity to exercise power over a defendant. In Laurie v Carroll[9], Dixon CJ, Williams and Webb JJ quoted the statement of Viscount Haldane[10] that "[t]he root principle of the English law about jurisdiction is that the judges stand in the place of the Sovereign in whose name they administer justice, and that therefore whoever is served with the King's writ, and can be compelled consequently to submit to the decree made, is a person over whom the Courts have jurisdiction". 31. Paragraph 14: In Melbourne Corporation v The Commonwealth [14], Dixon J said: "The foundation of the Constitution is the conception of a central government and a number of State governments separately organized. The Constitution predicates their continued existence as independent entities. Among them it distributes powers of governing the country. The framers of the Constitution do not appear to have considered that power itself forms part of the conception of a government. They appear rather to have conceived the States as bodies politic whose existence and nature are independent of the powers allocated to them. The Constitution on this footing proceeds to distribute the power between State and Commonwealth and to provide for their inter-relation, tasks performed with reference to the legislative powers chiefly by ss 51, 52, 107, 108 and 109."

32. Comment: This above quote in paragraph 11 by Chief Justice Gleeson who cited Chief Justice Dixon, Justices Williams and Webb is consistent with Justice Heydons quote that Judges like Acting Judges have their Oath of Allegiance namely to the Public Crown, the reigning Monarch Queen Elizabeth II. R v Kidman [1915] HCA 58; (1915) 20 CLR 425 (16 September 1915) Isaacs J. But the fourth question should be considered with it. Taking the subject matter of the two questions together, the position, in my opinion, stands thus. Sec. 75 (III.) declares that "In all matters in which the Commonwealth ... is a party the High Court shall have original jurisdiction." "Matters" include all justiciable causes of suit, whether civil or criminal. Prosecutions for crimes are always at the suit of the Crown. (See Halsbury's Laws of England, vol. ix., p. 233, and Short & Mellor's Crown Practice, p. 2.) The rule of law that the King cannot himself give judgment even in his own Court of King's Bench is, as Coke says (4 Inst., 71), because he cannot be judge in his own cause. The learned writer adds: "his own cause" includes "all pleas of the Crown; as all manner of treasons, felonies, and other pleas of the Crown which ex congruo are aptly called propri caus regis, because they are placita coron regis." Inclusive of Forge v Australian Securities and Investments Commission [2006] HCA 44; 80 ALJR 1606; 229 ALR 223 (5 September 2006) at Paragraph 269 Quote: Like permanent judges, acting judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales are appointed by the Governor on ministerial advice by commission under the public seal of the State[286]. Like permanent judges, acting judges are qualified for appointment if they are legal practitioners of at least seven years' standing, or if they hold or have held a judicial office of New South Wales or of the Commonwealth, or of another State or a Territory[287]. Like permanent judges, acting judges are obliged to take not only the oath of allegiance but also the judicial oath (to "do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of the State of New South Wales without fear or favour, affection or illwill")[288]. These oaths are not seen as mere words. Acting judges have "all the powers, authorities, privileges and immunities and fulfil all the duties of" permanent judges[289]. (Relevant Part only) 33. KIRBY J. Paragraph 69 Quote: The decision of this Court in Re Wakim; Ex parte McNally [81] contradicts the proposition that the conferral by statute of jurisdiction and power on a superior court is immune from the restrictions of the Constitution. Any deployment of public power in Australia must conform to the Constitution. This applies to a purported conferral of jurisdiction and power upon a State court as well as on a federal court, as considered in Wakim.

34. Paragraph 70: It will not be a sufficient answer to a challenge to the constitutionality of a State law that the purported repository of power is a court which can be assumed to exercise the jurisdiction conferred upon it properly and in accordance with rules laid down by, or under, a statute or in accordance with the rules of the common law or equity. Where a challenge is made, there is no alternative but to measure the impugned law against the Constitution and its express provisions and implications that divide lawmaking power in Australia. In a federal nation, a State's legislative power must necessarily adapt to, and be consistent with, the legislative powers of the other States, as well as of the Commonwealth.

35. Continued Quote by Justice Kirby: Paragraph 110: Although the possibility of such questions was contemplated, how they were to be resolved was not spelt out. Yet it is clear that s 74 of the Constitution assumed that such questions would be resolved by "a decision of the High Court" and that, save for a certificate, its decision would be final. It is therefore equally clear that it was assumed that the Constitution, or possibly a law made under it, would afford the principle by reference to which such a question would be decided. Such a question would not be resolved, at least exclusively, by reference to the grant of power conferred on the Parliament of one State by a State Constitution. To the extent that, after federation, a State Constitution Act expressed "the Constitution of each State" of the Commonwealth[137], any such Act derived its contemporary authority ultimately from the federal Constitution[138] not from any Imperial Act that had preceded it. 36. Paragraph 112 Nevertheless, inescapably, there remained a territorial restriction on State Parliaments, although one limited to "a very small compass indeed"[144]. Much previous analysis assumed that the source of the restriction was to be found in the words of the grant of State legislative power, as for the "peace, order and good government" of the designated territory constituting the State concerned [145]. However, the restriction is more fundamental than this. That fact becomes obvious when it is remembered that the Parliaments of the States have the power, in accordance with the Constitution of the State, to alter the Constitution of the State but "subject to this Constitution", ie the federal Constitution[146]. Indeed, the words of grant differ as between the States, a fact brought to light by these proceedings. Whereas in other States the formula is the same as, or close to, that provided in ss 51 and 52 of the federal Constitution, in the case of Victoria it is different. The Parliament of that State is, by its own Constitution Act, empowered to make laws "in and for Victoria in all cases whatsoever"[147]. End Quote. 37. Comment: Reading this case above Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd v Victoria [2002] HCA 27; 211 CLR 1; 189 ALR 161; 76 ALJR 926 (26 June 2002), it is so typical with lawyers that no argument was raised about the validity of the 1975 Constitution being created outside the power of the Victorian Parliament under Section 106 and 107 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act. Justice Kirby to my Common Understanding has again eluded to the power of State Parliaments after referring to Victorias law making powers is different to the Commonwealths and between other States under the 1975 Constitution Section 16 The Parliament of Victoria "shall have power to make laws in and for Victoria in all cases whatsoever". Also I refer to Justice Kirbys statement on the last sentence within Paragraph 110 namely on the commencement of the Commonwealth Constitution, the Sovereignty of the Parliament of the Colonies amending their Constitutions at the Parliaments will; as initially stated by Dr. Cockburn 10-03-1891 Hansard Debates will be removed from the commencement of the Commonwealth Constitution Act.

J: Quote: The function of the judiciary in constitutional cases: Paragraph 35: However, the judiciary has no power to amend or modernise the Constitution to give effect to what the judges think is in the public interest. The function of the judiciary, including the function of this Court, is to give effect to the intention of the makers of the Constitution as evinced by the terms in which they expressed that intention. That necessarily means that decisions, taken almost a century ago by people long dead, bind the people of Australia today even in cases where most people agree that those decisions are out of touch with the present needs of Australian society. Judge Easterbrook has pointed out that a written constitution "is designed to be an anchor in the past. It creates rules that bind until a supermajority of the living changes them."[41] Continued Quote: In the same article, he pointed out[42] that a person cannot logically deny the power of the past to rule today's affairs and at the same time assert that Art III of the United States Constitution (the equivalent of our Chapter III) still binds. Judicial review of the constitutional validity of legislation "depends on the belief that decisions taken long ago"[43] still bind today's society. 24. Paragraph 36: The Constitution, although enacted in 1900, is binding today by reason of the tacit assent of the people of Australia to its continued operation. Few, if any, constitutional lawyers now accept Thomas Jefferson's claim that a Constitution enacted by one generation cannot bind subsequent generations. Jefferson first put forward this claim in a letter to James Madison which was written in Paris in September 1789. The claim was based on Jefferson's famous aphorism "that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living". Jefferson wrote[44]: "The question: Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started [stated?] either on this or our side of the water. Yet it is a question of such consequences as not only to merit decision, but place also, among the fundamental principles of every government. The course of reflection in which we are immersed here on the elementary principles of society has presented this question to my mind; and that no such obligation can be so transmitted I think very capable of proof. I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self evident, 'that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living': that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it." (emphasis in original) 25. Paragraph 37: Madison rejected Jefferson's claim although, as Adrienne Koch has pointed out [45], he agreed in theory with Jefferson's fundamental principles. However, he attacked "on the grounds of practicability virtually every specific proposal" contained in Jefferson's letter [46]. Madison said [47]: "I find no releif [sic] from these consequences, but in the received doctrine that a tacit assent may be given to established Constitutions and laws, and that this assent may be inferred, where no positive dissent appears. ... May it not be questioned whether it be possible to exclude wholly the idea of tacit assent, without subverting the foundation of civil Society?"

26. Paragraph 38: It is safe to say that Madison's view has prevailed in the United States, Canada and Australia. Our Constitution continues to bind "the courts, judges, and people of every State and of every part of the Commonwealth"[48]. It does so although its terms and structure express the ideas and philosophies of men long dead and although it was enacted by a Parliament that no longer claims to have any right to legislate for the Australian people. End Quote. Comment: Obviously referring to The Australia Act 1986 that allegedly released the control of England to legislate for the States, but no Justice has cited it as invalid due to the Commonwealth Parliament exceeding their power under the Commonwealth Constitution as the people never had a say via a Referendum. Only former Justice Michael Kirby pertaining to the States declared the Australia Act 1986 in breach of Section 106 and 128 Commonwealth Constitution Act alone in Attorney-General (WA) v Marquet [2003] HCA 67; 217 CLR 545; 202 ALR 233; 78 ALJR 105 (13 November 2003) at Paragraphs 203 to 210.
27. Paragraph 39: Change to the terms and structure of the Constitution can be carried out

only with the approval of the people in accordance with the procedures laid down in s 128 of the Constitution. Until change is made, the function of the judiciary is to give effect to the present terms and structure of the Constitution. We must, of course, never forget Chief Justice Marshall's words "that it is a constitution we are expounding."[49] As the Chief Justice said in that case in speaking of incidental powers[50], "Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional." In the present case, however, I think that the Constitution does prohibit the States from vesting State jurisdiction in federal courts and prohibits the Commonwealth consenting to the vesting of State jurisdiction in those courts. End Quote. 28. Paragraph 49: Quote: When the Constitution is read as a whole and in the light of its judicial history, there is in my opinion no principled basis upon which the present legislation can be upheld. Our duty is to give effect to the principles of the Constitution even when it is inconvenient to do so. In Professor Dworkin's words[69]: "Lawyers and judges faced with a contemporary constitutional issue must try to construct a coherent, principled, and persuasive interpretation of the text of particular clauses, the structure of the Constitution as a whole, and our history under the Constitution - an interpretation that both unifies these distinct sources, so far as this is possible, and directs future adjudication. They must seek, that is, constitutional integrity." (emphasis in original) End Quote 29. Paragraph 79 Quote For constitutional purposes, they are a nullity. No doctrine of res judicata or issue estoppel can prevail against the Constitution. Mr Gould is entitled to disregard the orders made in Gould v Brown. No doubt, as Latham CJ said of invalid legislation [100], "he will feel safer if he has a decision of a court in his favour". That is because those relying on the earlier decision may seek to enforce it against Mr Gould. End Quote

Comment to my understanding: The quote by former Justice Michael Kirby concerns the Parliament of the Commonwealth or any State cannot under their limited powers create any Federal Court to hear and determine any powers of a State Court whether criminal or civil proceedings. But this quote is very relevant for any breach by the Commonwealth or any State or Territory Parliament exceeding their limited powers under the Commonwealth Constitution and their State Constitutions. For instance, all Parliaments permitting officers or departments issuing fines or other penalties when no officer or Parliament is classified as a court; the continuance of the Goods and Services Tax against Section 55 Commonwealth Constitution stating Shall subject to one taxation only; creating corporations of all Parliaments, their departments and so on; The Parliament of Victoria creating their courts under Department of Justice when the Supreme Court is the third arm of Government under Separation of Powers. Inclusive of the Commonwealth, all State and Territory Parliaments continuing their sovereignty even in 2013 when the people are sovereign from 1st January 1901. The list of breaches is continuous. 32.

(L) 143, at p. 162 correctly states the law: The Legislature here is not a Court. It does not assume to determine what are its own powers. The unseemliness of one Court interfering with the privileges of another Court cannot occur. The powers of both Council and Assembly are prescribed by statute to be within certain limits, and the Court must if he question of law is raised, determine whether the power in dispute falls within those limits or not.

Page 346 Quote: Not all enactments purporting to be laws made by the Parliament are binding : but laws made under, in pursuance of, and within the authority conferred by the Constitution, and those only, are binding on the courts, judges, and people. A law in excess of the authority conferred by the Constitution is no law ; it is wholly void and inoperative ; it confers no rights, it imposes no duties ; it affords no protection. (Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 ; see note 447 Power of the Parliament of the Colony.) Continued Quote bottom of page 346: Every legislative assembly existing under a federal constitution is merely a subordinate law-making body, whose laws are of the nature of by-laws, valid whilst within the authority conferred upon it by the constitution, but invalid or unconstitutional if top of page 347: they go beyond the limits of such authority. End Quote (Relevant Parts) 34. Page 791 Quick and Garran last paragraph: Quote: In the exercise of the duty of interpretation and adjudication not only the High Court, but every court of competent jurisdiction, has the right to declare that a law of the Commonwealth or of a State is void by reason of transgressing the Constitution. The Federal Parliament and the State Parliaments are not sovereign bodies; they are legislatures with limited powers, and any law which they attempt to pass in excess of these powers is no law at all, it is simply a nullity, entitled to no obedience. End Quote Comment: These quotes above from the Quick and Garran on page 346 and 791 are confirmed by Chief Justice Latham in the case below.

35. Please find the quote by Chief Justice Latham: South Australia v Commonwealth ("First Uniform Tax case") [1942] HCA 14; (1942) 65 CLR 373 (23 July 1942) Quote: Latham C.J: Nature of the Problem.The problem for the Court is a legal problem which is unknown in countries with a unitary form of government and a supreme legislature. It arises only when legislative powers are divided between legislatures, so that the powers of a law-making agency are limited. That is the case in Australia, where the Commonwealth Parliament, unlike the Parliament at Westminster, depends for its existence and for its powers on a written Constitution. 36. The Constitution says that the Commonwealth Parliament shall have power to make laws with respect to certain subjects (e.g., sec. 51 and other sections such as secs. 73, 77, 78, 79, 96, 122), that it shall have exclusive power to make laws with respect to certain other subjects (secs. 52 and 90), and that it shall not make certain laws at all (e.g., the limitations expressed in secs. 51 (ii.) and (iii.), 92, 99, 114, 116, 117). The Constitution of each State continues, subject to the Commonwealth Constitution (sec. 106), and the State Parliaments continue to possess all their powers not exclusively given to the Commonwealth Parliament by the Constitution or withdrawn from them by the Constitution (sec. 107). 37. Continued Quote by Chief Justice Latham: If either the Commonwealth Parliament or a State Parliament attempts to make a law which is not within its powers, the attempt fails, because the alleged law is unauthorized and is not a law at all. When both the
Page | 17

Commonwealth Parliament and a State Parliament have power to make laws then, in case of inconsistency, the Commonwealth law prevails and the State law, to the extent of the inconsistency, is invalid (sec. 109). Common expressions, such as: "The courts have declared a statute invalid," sometimes lead to misunderstanding. A pretended law made in excess of power is not and never has been a law at all. Anybody in the country is entitled to disregard it. Naturally he will feel safer if he has a decision of a court in his favourbut such a decision is not an element which produces invalidity in any law. The law is not valid until a court pronounces against itand thereafter invalid. If it is beyond power it is invalid ab initio. End Quote 38. State of NSW v Kable [2013] HCA 26 (5 June 2013) GAGELER J. Quote: Within the framework of the Australian Constitution, there has never been any doubt that application of the law to produce a final judicial order in the exercise of judicial power can permit and require the making of a judicial determination of the constitutional validity or invalidity of a statute. That principle, and its application to the determination by a court of the constitutional invalidity of a statute purporting to confer jurisdiction or power on the court itself, was established 100 years before the establishment of the High Court, in Marbury v Madison[59]. The principle as so established "in our system ... is accepted as axiomatic, modified in varying degree in various cases (but never excluded) by the respect which the judicial organ must accord to opinions of the legislative and executive organs"[60]. 39. Within the framework of the Australian Constitution, and consistently with the justification for that principle stated in Marbury v Madison[61], there has never been any doubt that a purported law that is determined in the exercise of judicial power to be invalid, as beyond legislative power or as infringing an express or implied constitutional prohibition, is no law at all and is therefore of no legal force. The notion that a law may be invalid only prospectively from the time of the making of a judicial order has been firmly rejected on the basis that "it would be a perversion of judicial power to maintain in force that which is acknowledged not to be the law"[62]. A judicial determination of validity or invalidity is a determination of what the law applicable to the rights or duties of the persons or classes of persons in controversy is or is not not of what the law is to be. 40. The settled position is captured in the explanation given by Latham CJ in South Australia v The Commonwealth[63]. After pointing out that "[c]ommon expressions, such as: 'The courts have declared a statute invalid,' sometimes lead to misunderstanding", he said[64]: "A pretended law made in excess of power is not and never has been a law at all. Anybody in the country is entitled to disregard it. Naturally he will feel safer if he has a decision of a court in his favour but such a decision is not an element which produces invalidity in any law.

Parliamentary Appropriations. But it is unsound in principle. It is true that every contract with any responsible Government of His Majesty, whether it be one of a mercantile character or one of service, is subject to the condition that before payment is made out of the Public Consolidated Fund Parliament must appropriate the necessary sum. But subject to that condition, unless some competent statute properly construed makes the appropriation a condition precedent, a contract by the Government otherwise within its authority is binding. The Federal awards in the Engineers' Case [24] and New South Wales cases above referred to, superseded the State law as to the extent of the industrial relations between employers and employed, but left to the State Parliament, and to it alone, the jurisdiction to provide the means of honouring the State's obligations to its employees as in all other cases. By sec. 106 of the Constitution , a State Constitution is subject to the Federal Constitution. But there is nothing in the Federal Constitution which interferes with the State constitutional provisions as to State parliamentary appropriation of State Consolidated Revenue Funds before payment out of those funds.

J: Parliamentary supremacy and fundamental rights Quote: Paragraph 10. The New South Wales Parliament derives its legislative power from s 5 of the Constitution Act 1902 which provides that "(t)he Legislature shall, subject to the provisions of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, have power to make laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of New South Wales in all cases whatsoever ...". It is unnecessary at this point to trace the history which lies behind this provision (35) because it is firmly established that its words confer a plenary power "and it was so recognised, even in an era when emphasis was given to the character of colonial legislatures as subordinate law-making bodies" (36). That was clear before the passage of the Australia Acts (37) but it is put beyond question by s 2 of those Acts. The legislative power of the New South Wales legislature is no less than the legislative power of the Parliament of the United Kingdom within the scope of the grant of its power.

Page | 19

44. As s 5 of the Constitution Act 1902 itself recognises, the power is subject to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp). Section 106 of the Commonwealth Constitution makes it clear that the Constitution of each State is subject to the Commonwealth Constitution, and under s 5 of the Australia Acts the powers of the States do not extend to legislation affecting the Commonwealth Constitution, the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, the Statute of Westminster 1931 (Imp) or the Australia Acts themselves. And under s 6 of the Australia Acts the States are bound to observe any manner and form requirements for laws respecting the constitution, powers or procedures of their parliaments. In addition, the words "peace, welfare, and good government of New South Wales" may be the source of whatever territorial restrictions upon the State's legislative powers are made necessary by the federal structure (38).

45. COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT - SECT 106 Saving of Constitutions-: The Constitution of each State of the Commonwealth shall, subject to this Constitution, continue as at the establishment of the Commonwealth, or as at the admission or establishment of the State, as the case may be, until altered in accordance with the Constitution of the State. 46. Comment: Many people including who preside over our State courts and some Federal courts are inferably confused or intentionally or wilfully ignore the words shall, subject to this Constitution, and focus their attention that a State may change their Constitution due to the last paragraph as the case may be, until altered in accordance with the Constitution of the State. The States have continued to portray as Sovereign States from their original Imperial Constitutions which is a form of Treason and is certainly Fraud. The people of Commonwealth of Australia are the highest authority and in this purported State of Victoria, the Parliament has only ever had one Referendum that did not contain any provision of the 1855 original Constitution or the 1890 Constitution Amendment Act. What about the words shall, subject to this Constitution means exactly that; to conform to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 UK and Clause 9 the Constitution Act Sections 1 to 128 must be read in its entirety, not just certain parts of Section 106. 47. Page 930 Annotated Constitution by Quick and Garran 1901: In the Adelaide Convention of 1897, a similar resolution was made the basis of the Constitution which was then drawn. It was resolved that the several colonies were not to be touched in any of their powers, privileges, and territories, except where a surrender was necessary to secure uniformity of law and administration in matters of general concern ; that, after the establishment of Federation, the inviolability of the territory of each colony should be still preserved, subject to the determination of the people of such colony themselves.

48. Western Australia v Wilsmore [1982] HCA 19; (1982) 149 CLR 79 (29 April 1982) Justice Lionel Murphys comments: Paragraph 1 Quote: In question is the validity of the Electoral Act Amendment Act (No. 2) 1979 (W.A.), s. 7 which changed qualifications for election to the Western Australian Legislative Council and Assembly adversely to the plaintiff. The challenge to the Act depended on showing that it was invalid because it was not passed in accordance with the Constitution of Western Australia. The Western Australian Constitution (or at least its principal provisions) originally derived its authority from the Western Australian Constitution Act 1890 (Imp.) but now derives its authority from s. 106 of the Australian Constitution which provides: "The Constitution of each State of the Commonwealth shall, subject to this Constitution, continue as at the establishment of the Commonwealth or as at the admission or establishment of the State, as the case may be, until altered in accordance with the Constitution of the State." Therefore a contravention of a State Constitution is a contravention of the Australian Constitution. Although much reference was made to the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865 (Imp.), this is irrelevant. When the colony of Western Australia became part of the Commonwealth of Australia as the State of Western Australia, the Colonial Laws Validity Act became inapplicable for the simple and sufficient reason that Western Australia was no longer a colony.

49. Also cited by Justice Gaudron within Muldowney v South Australia [1996] HCA 52; (1996) 186 CLR 352 (24 April 1996) Paragraphs 6 to 8. Quote: 6. There is a second and, perhaps, more important reason why the freedom which exists for the purpose of maintaining the democratic processes of the Commonwealth does not strike down laws which operate, in the sense earlier indicated, to further or to enhance the democratic processes of the States. The States are constituent parts of the federation which was brought into existence as a free and democratic society. As Barwick CJ pointed out in Victoria v The Commonwealth (46), the States owe their existence, as States, to the Australian Constitution and their colonial constitutions were continued by the Australian Constitution so as to become State constitutions, but subject to the Australian Constitution. Their subjection to the Australian Constitution is effected by s 106 which provides: "The Constitution of each State of the Commonwealth shall, subject to this Constitution, continue as at the establishment of the Commonwealth, or as at the admission or establishment of the State, as the case may be, until altered in accordance with the Constitution of the State." 49. Paragraph 7. It is now settled that the federal character of the Australian Constitution operates to limit the legislative power of the Parliament of the Commonwealth "in the interest of preserving the existence of the States as constituent elements in the federation" (47). In consequence, the Parliament can neither legislate to discriminate by "the placing on the States of special burdens or disabilities" (48) nor enact "laws of general application which operate to destroy or curtail the continued existence of the States or their capacity to function as governments" (49).

Page | 21

50. Paragraph 8. It must be accepted, following the decisions in Nationwide News and Australian Capital Television, that the States are not merely constituent elements of the federation, but constituent elements of a federal democracy. This, when considered in conjunction with the subjection of the constitutions of the States to the Australian Constitution, requires that, in the interest of preserving the democratic nature of the federation, the States be and remain essentially democratic. And it also requires that the freedom of political discussion identified in Nationwide News and in Australian Capital Television does not operate to strike down laws which, in the sense earlier indicated, operate to further or enhance the democratic processes of the States, provided they do not interfere with the democratic processes of the Commonwealth. End Quote. 51. Comment: In paragraph 7 of this case above confirms, what I have cited already within this document namely from Page 988 Annotated Constitution by Quick and Garran 1901: Quote: A Federal Legislature is a mere creature of the Federal Constitution; it is a mere instrument or servant of the federal community ; it is an agent, NOT A MASTER. The Constitution is the master of the legislature, and the community itself is the author of the Constitution. The test of the federal system lies in the principle that the central Government cannot destroy nor modify the local, nor the local Government the central. Now, this relation between central and local Government is impossible unless both rest upon a common basis, i.e., the co-ordination of these independent Governments as parts of a harmonious political system requires an organization of the sovereign, the State, distinct from and supreme over both. (Burgess, Political Sc. i.141.) End Quote 52. Comment Continued: Also what is perceived as a fraudulent and alleged treasonable Referendum within question 3 of the 1988 Commonwealth Referendum held on 3rd September 1988 namely: "119A. Each State shall provide for the establishment & continuance of a system of local government, with local government bodies elected in accordance with the laws of the State & empowered to administer, and to make bylaws, for their respective areas in accordance with the laws of the State." As the result of question 3 was that only 33.62 percent voted for councils in recognition and for the operation and continuance of a council to operate. The result of that Referendum was that over 86% of the people of Australia namely the states of WA, SA, Vic, TAS, NSW, and QLD voted "NO" to declare that Councils cannot be created or continue as a fraudulent Local Government under a States powers within their Constitutions under the Commonwealth Constitution. Therefore this Referendum under Section 128 overrides all law from the Commonwealth Parliament and all State and Territory Parliaments inclusive of their Constitutions pertaining to the question of Local Government. This Referendum augmented by the Commonwealth Parliament politicians and authorized by the Governor General did attempt to remove the States and Territories from existing under the peoples Commonwealth Constitution and certainly made a mockery of the peoples Constitution Act as a whole. The States and Territories are declared as Local Government before 1901 and with their continuance after 1901. Therefore must (shall) be declared invalid under Section 109 Commonwealth Constitution.

53. In this High Court case McGinty v Western Australia [1996] HCA 48; (1996) 186 CLR 140 (28 March 1996) Chief Justice Brennan Quote: The relationship between the Commonwealth Constitution and the Constitutions of the States: Paragraph 17: Section 106 of the Commonwealth Constitution reads: " The Constitution of each State of the Commonwealth shall, subject to this Constitution, continue as at the establishment of the Commonwealth, or as at the admission or establishment of the State, as the case may be, until altered in accordance with the Constitution of the State." This section has a dual operation. Its first operation is to prescribe what the new elements of the Federal polity - the States - shall be. When the people of the Australian Colonies were united in the Commonwealth of Australia by the proclamation made pursuant to Covering Clause 3 and those Colonies became Original States of the Commonwealth by operation of Covering Clause 6, the Colonies - the old constitutional entities - acquired a new constitutional status. They became States, as the text of ss 107 and 108 shows, deriving their existence as States from the Commonwealth Constitution (30). Secondly, s 106 conferred on the respective States substantially the Constitutions of the antecedent Colonies (31).

54. Continued Quote from Paragraph 17: The same Constitutions as had been conferred on the Colonies prior to 1 January 1901 were continued as the Constitutions of the respective States thereafter, subject to such modifications as were effected by the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp) and the Constitution of the Commonwealth. As Barwick CJ said in New South Wales v The Commonwealth (32): "On the passage of the Imperial Act, those colonies ceased to be such and became States forming part of the new Commonwealth. As States, they owe their existence to the Constitution which, by ss 106 and 107, provides their constitutions and powers referentially to the constitutions and powers which the former colonies enjoyed, including the power of alteration of those constitutions. Those constitutions and powers were to continue by virtue of the Constitution of the Commonwealth."

55. Paragraph 18: Although the States owe their existence to the Commonwealth Constitution and although their respective Constitutions in 1901 were conferred by operation of s 106 of the Commonwealth Constitution, the powers vested in the respective State legislatures were subject not only to the other provisions of the Constitution but also to the limitations which had been imposed on the powers of the antecedent colonial legislatures(33). The Australian Colonies did not retain their colonial status for the purposes of the constitutional law of the Commonwealth, but their general legislative and constituent powers then remained amenable to affection by laws enacted by the United Kingdom Parliament (34). That amenability to affection by Imperial legislation was removed only by the enactment of the Australia Act 1986.

56. Paragraph 19: In 1901, s 107 of the Constitution confirmed what s 106 might itself have provided, namely, that such power as a State Parliament possessed to alter its own
Page | 23

Constitution(35) pursuant to the manner and form provisions of its Constitution and to alter those manner and form provisions themselves(36) remained(37). Thus the "manner and form" provisions of the State Constitutions are retained as they were on 1 January 1901 or as they have been altered subsequently in accordance with any relevant manner and form provisions in force at the time of the alteration. It follows that the Constitution of a State at any time must be ascertained by reference to (i) its Constitution as at Federation; (ii) the overriding effect of the provisions of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act and the Constitution of the Commonwealth; (iii) the modifications of the State Constitution that have been made either by Imperial legislation or State legislation provided, in the case of State legislation, it has been made in accordance with any relevant manner and form provisions of the particular State Constitution(38); and (iv) the Australia Act 1986. It is possible that a law of the Commonwealth could affect the Constitution of a State in some particular but not so as to curtail the continued existence of the State or the capacity of the Government of the State to exercise its functions(39). 57. Paragraph 20. The Constitutions of the several States are, by force of s 106, subject to the Commonwealth Constitution, the provisions of which may be either expressed in its text or implied in its text and structure. There is no relevant reference in the Commonwealth Constitution to the distribution of the franchise in elections for State Parliaments. But the plaintiffs and the interveners supporting the plaintiffs submit that the Commonwealth Constitution implies a mandatory equality of voting power among the holders of the franchise for State as well as Commonwealth elections. Just as Mason CJ, Toohey and Gaudron JJ held in Stephens(40) that the concept of representative democracy is provided in the Constitution and is the basis of an implication of freedom of communication as to political matters relating to government at State level, so the concept of representative democracy is said to be the basis of an implication of equality of voting power in State elections. To consider this argument it is necessary, for reasons earlier stated, to take as the starting point not the concept of representative democracy but the text of the Commonwealth Constitution. 58. Comment: If Chief Justice Brennan is correct with his analogy of Section 106 from Paragraph 17 in this case McGinty v Western Australia [1996] HCA 48; (1996) 186 CLR 140 (28 March 1996), then the State Parliaments may alter, change, repeal, or create any Constitution without a Referendum as sovereign Parliaments. Where does the people of the States and Territories within the Commonwealth of Australia fit into any argument other than a Referendum to change the Commonwealth Constitution Act?

59. Yougarla v Western Australia [2001] HCA 47; 207 CLR 344; 181 ALR 371; 75 ALJR 1316 (9 August 2001) Justice Michael Kirby: Paragraph 72 The Issue No.(2) Quote: The federal constitutional issue: Whether the interposition of the federal Constitution in 1901, the terms of s 106 of that Constitution and the altered status of the Parliament of Western Australia as a Parliament of a State of the Commonwealth, relieved the 1905 Act of any residual "manner and form" requirements of Imperial legislation that were previously applicable to the legislation of the colony.

60. Continued Quote by former Justice Kirby: Relevant part of Paragraph 79 "Courts in this country, at least in the scrutiny of the requirements of the Australian Constitution, have generally rejected the notion that they are forbidden by considerations of parliamentary privilege, or of the ancient common law of Parliament, from adjudging the validity of parliamentary conduct where this must be measured against the requirements of the Constitution. ... It is the nature of a federal polity that it constantly renders the organs of government, federal and State, accountable to a constitutional standard. State Parliaments in Australia, whatever their historical provenance, are not colonial legislatures. They are provided for in the Australian Constitution. To this extent, at least, they are rendered accountable to the constitutional text."

61. Paragraph 80: In this case, a question is presented to the courts of the Australian Judicature which necessarily involves a constitutional determination. For example, no issue of constitutional inconsistency for the purposes of s 109 of the Constitution could arise if the "law" in question were not truly a "law of a State"[74]. In this sense, in Australia, whatever may be the position in the United Kingdom, it is impossible, ultimately, to exclude the courts, certainly this Court, from answering the question as to whether what purports to be a "law of a State" is in truth such a "law". That is why Australian courts [75] have held themselves competent, and obliged, to resolve contested questions about the validity of a purported "law". In Victoria v The Commonwealth[76], Gibbs J adopted with approval, as I would, the observation of the Privy Council on appeal from the Supreme Court of Ceylon in Bribery Commissioner v Ranasinghe[77]: "[A] legislature has no power to ignore the conditions of law-making that are imposed by the instrument which itself regulates its power to make law." 62. Paragraph 91: Secondly, it is obvious that the phrase "Constitution of the State" (and "Constitution of each State"), appearing in s 106, must be capable of consistent application to each of the six States of the Commonwealth to which s 106 was to apply after the federal Constitution came into force. (Relevant Part) 63. Continued Quote by former Justice Kirby: Paragraph 96: Fifthly, contextual considerations affirm the wide ambit of the words in question. When s 106 is read with ss 107 and 108 it appears clear that the object of the federal Constitution was to continue in force the powers of the Parliaments of, and every law in force in, the Australian colonies that became the States of the Commonwealth. This consideration reinforces the conclusion that the "Constitution", referred to in s 106, carried from the colonial period the institutional arrangements proper to the governance of the former colonies, now States. Yet if these features, relevant to governmental powers, are carried forward, it becomes impossible, as a matter of construction, to reject pre-existing Imperial limitations on the exercise of such powers[101]. These include the Imperial manner and form provisions which would otherwise answer to the description of part of the "Constitution of the State".

Page | 25

64. Paragraph 97: Sixthly, to the extent that it is useful to construe a constitutional phrase by reference to what the founders in 1900 expected the phrase to mean[102], there is no doubt that the word "Constitution" in s 106 was expected to have a larger denotation than simply the Constitution Acts of the colonies, then in force. This much is shown by the drafting history of the clause [103]. It is confirmed by the way in which, after federation, provisions of the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865 (Imp) were invoked to prevent constitutional alteration which did not comply with its manner and form requirement [104].

65. Durham Holdings Pty Ltd v New South Wales [2001] HCA 7; 205 CLR 399; 177 ALR 436; 75 ALJR 501 (15 February 2001) This case below cites the 1988 Commonwealth Referendum part of question 4 on fair (equitable) compensation for land acquisition. Kirby. J: Quote: Powers of State Parliament: the theory and reality Paragraph 61: Members of a legislature, such as the Parliament of New South Wales, are regularly answerable to the electors, whereas judges in Australia are not [126]. Judges recognise that, whatever the deficiencies of electoral democracy, the necessity of answering to the electorate at regular intervals has a tendency to curb legislative excesses. Many judges reject "the role of a Platonic guardian" and are "pleased to live in a society that does not thrust [that role] upon [them]"[127]. Most judges in Australia would probably share this relatively modest conception of their role. In this conception, the duty of obedience to a law made by a Parliament of a State derives from the observance of parliamentary procedures and the conformity of the resulting law with the State and federal Constitutions. It does not rest upon judicial pronouncements to accord, or withhold, recognition of the law in question by reference to the judge's own notions of fundamental rights, apart from those constitutionally established.

66. Paragraph 62: Ultimately, this conception of the judicial function rests on political facts. These include the existence and powers of the Parliaments of the States and the inappropriateness of judicial questioning of such basic political realities [128]. These are reasons why, in Australia, the notion that there are some basic common law rights that "lie so deep" that even a Parliament, otherwise acting within its powers, cannot contradict them, has so far gathered few adherents. To the contrary, the commonly expressed view about the common law in Australia envisages a "more modest"[129] role, at least where a legislature has made law within the ambit of its constitutional powers [130]. This is because, in Australia, the common law operates within an orbit of written constitutional laws and political realities.

67. Paragraph 63: One further consideration, to which the Court of Appeal referred [131], should also be mentioned in answering the applicant's submission that this Court should now turn its back on past authority, if necessary overrule its previous holdings, and uphold as a doctrine of the common law an entitlement of judges to invalidate State legislation found to breach fundamental or "deep lying" rights. It is a consideration of particular relevance to the present case. In 1988 a referendum of electors in Australia rejected a proposal to add to the federal Constitution a new provision requiring that, to be valid, a "law of a State" providing for the "acquisition of property from any person" had to afford "just terms"[132].

68. Paragraph 64: Where the Constitution is amended pursuant to referendum, it is permissible, in my view, to take into account the history and purpose of the change that is thereby effected [133]. If this aid to construction is available where an amendment is adopted, I see no reason to reject it where an amendment is proposed but fails. It is true that defeat of a proposal may be explained by many reasons. These may include the fact that the proposal was combined with other amendments, arguably more controversial [134]. The proposed amendment in 1988 concerned the federal Constitution. The issues argued by the applicant here concern the powers of the Parliament of New South Wales under the Constitution Act of that State and of the courts of the State. Moreover, the applicant's submission raises a fundamental question, not one limited to the particular instance of uncompensated, or insufficiently compensated, expropriations.

69. Paragraph 65: Nevertheless, the rejection by the electors of the Commonwealth (including those in New South Wales) of a proposed amendment to the federal Constitution, which would have prevented or invalidated legislation such as the amending legislation adopted by the New South Wales Parliament in 1990, suggests a reason for special caution when this Court is invited, but 12 years later, effectively to impose on the Constitution of the State a requirement which the electors, given the chance, declined to adopt.

70. Paragraph 66: The referendum proposal of 1988, although it was lost, reinforces to some

extent the orthodox theory of Australia's legal and political arrangements. Under the Australian Constitution, it is not necessary to depend on judges to prevent, or cure, all injustices, including those of the kind of which the applicant complains. At least in theory, it is open to the electors to do so. They may do so by dismissing the government and the Parliament responsible for creating such laws. Alternatively, it is open to the electors to influence the insertion in the federal and State constitutions of entrenched provisions that forbid repetition of such laws[135]. The practicalities are not always so straightforward. However, the legal principle postulated by the applicant was one reserved for an extreme case. For such a case it may ordinarily (although not inevitably) be assumed that, ultimately, the political process will produce just laws on significant topics. End Quote.

71. Hospital Provident Fund Pty Ltd v Victoria [1953] HCA 8; (1953) 87 CLR 1 (11 March 1953) WILLIAMS J. Quote: Paragraph 8. Section 2 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1930 (Vict.) provides that every Act shall be read and construed subject to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution and so as not to exceed the legislative power of Victoria to the intent that where any enactment thereof would, but for this Act, have been construed as being in excess of that power, it shall nevertheless be a valid enactment to the extent to which it is not in excess of that power. This section raises similar problems of construction to those raised by ss. 15A and 46(b) of the Acts Interpretation Act 19011950 (Cth.). The Court has discussed the meaning of the Federal sections in many cases. Pidoto v. Victoria [1943] HCA 37; (1943) 68 CLR 87 ; The Banking Case (1948) 76 CLR, at pp 369-374 and cases there cited. They require the Court to read down an Act, so far as it is possible to do so by construction, so that it will operate to the full extent to which it is capable of constitutional validity. In practice the Court has done this by servering invalid clauses which are capable of severance from the rest of the Act or by giving the Act as a whole a distributive operation with respect to those parts of the subject matter which are within power. End Quote.

72. Comment: The statement by Justice Williams in the above case Hospital Provident Fund Pty Ltd v Victoria [1953] HCA 8; (1953) 87 CLR 1 (11 March 1953) stated that a Court is to read down an Act, so far as it is possible to do so by construction of the Act, Regulation, Rules, By-Laws. This statement is very relevant pertaining to the Seal displayed on Acts inclusive of the enactments right through to the Schedule and assent date of every Act of Parliament. The Enactment forms part of every Act of Parliament that must be read and construed to the Act itself.

The Changing of Enactments and Seals

73. Continued Comment: The Colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria after the Australian Constitution Acts 1850 and Western Australia adopted this enactment from their Constitution Act 1890 Be it enacted by the Queens or Kings Most Excellent Majesty as the Monarch of England. This correct enactment was confirmed within the Victorian Act assented 23-02-1855: An Act for adopting a certain Act of Parliament intituled
An Act for the amendment of an Act passed in the first year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria intituled An Act for the amendment of the laws with respect to Wills stated Be it

enacted by the Queens Most Excellent Majesty by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly of Victoria in this present Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same as follows (that is to say) :-. This correct enactment contains two out of three separated powers namely the Governor representing the Queens Most Excellent Majesty from England and the Legislative Council and Assembly representing both houses. All we need is Section 22 Australian Courts Act 1828 UK that confirms the third Separation of Power namely our Supreme Court Chief Justice described as the Lieutenant Governor of each State to check right through the Bill to ensure it does not breach the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865 UK and any Law repugnant to England. But from 1901 the role of Supreme Courts and the High Court should have continued by checking a proposed Bill by the Parliaments to ensure the Bill did not breach the Commonwealth Constitution Act.
Page | 28

74. Victorias politicians within Parliament continued the correct enactment above and the UK Coat of Arms on all Acts until the 5-07-1983 within the Construction Industry Long Service Leave Act 1983 . But as there appears to be no Acts assented to between 6-07-1983 and 8-091983, the Parliament enacted the Constitution (Corporations' Franchise) Act 1983 without a Referendum on 9-09-1983 with the Victorian Coat of Arms whilst continuing the correct enactment. On the 22-10-1985 in the Fairfield Land Act 1985; this was the last Act with the correct enactment of Her Most Excellent Majesty. Acts enacted after the 29th October 1985 such as the Fair Trading Act 1985; the Parliament amended the enactment to The Parliament of Victoria enacts as follows. The Victorian Parliament continued the correct enactment on the 3rd December 1985, within the Director of Public Prosecutions (Amendment) Act 1985 and also displaying the illegally amended enactment namely The Parliament of Victoria enacts as follows within Construction Industry Long Service Leave (Amendment) Act 1985 . The Victorian Parliament from 10th December 1985 has continued with the Parliament of Victoria enacts or therefore enacts as follows even up to 30th June 2013 before going on their Parliamentary break. There is no referendum listed for the Victorian Politicians and the Governor to change the Coat of Arms, any part of the 1855 Constitution or the enactment to any Acts of Parliament. Section 109 will be applied to declare all law in the purported State of Victoria from 1901 as invalid.

75. How is it possible other than that the Victorian Politicians are acting as sovereign over the people of the State of Victoria; for the Victorian Parliament or any other State, Territory or the Commonwealth to enact any Act, Regulation, Rule or By-laws without ensuring the separation of powers engrained within the Commonwealth Constitution have been adhered to; inclusive of how all Supreme Courts of the States and Territories must operate as per Chapter 3 Section 71 80. The role of the High and Supreme Courts have been confirmed in several High Court cases including Kable v Director of Public Prosecutions (NSW) [1996] HCA 24; (1996) 189 CLR 51 (12 September 1996), Forge v Australian Securities and Investments Commission [2006] HCA 44; 80 ALJR 1606; 229 ALR 223 (5 September 2006) and South Australia v Totani [2010] HCA 39 (11 November 2010).

76. In Reference to South Australia, the Colony continued the enactment of Be it Enacted by the Governor of the Province South Australia, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and House of Assembly of the said province, in this present Parliament assembled as follows:. After 1901 the South Australian Parliament and Governor who agreed to become a State enacted all Acts as: Be it Enacted by the Governor of the State of South Australia, with the advice and consent of the Parliament thereof, as follows: In 1915 the ACTS INTERPRETATION ACT 1915 was enacted preferably with the UK Coat of Arms and contained the same enactment of the South Australian Parliament after 1901. This attached version of the Acts Interpretation Act 1915 as of 1-07-2010. Section 4A: Date of establishment of the State-: For the purposes of the law of the State, the State will be taken to have been established on the twenty-eighth day of December, 1836. Section 22A: Construction of Act so as not to exceed power of State. 77. Comment: The South Australian people, voted in the 1898 Referendum to agree to a Commonwealth Constitution Act. The State of South Australia was proclaimed from 1st January 1901 under Clause 6. The Colony of South Australia has inferred itself as a self governing State from 1836 and from 1915 Acts Interpretation Act Section 22A, does not state that any law from 1901 to 2013 is subject to the Commonwealth Constitution under this Act or their inferred Constitution Act 1934.

78. South Australia without a Referendum process amended their Colony Constitution Act 1856 in 1902 in CONSTITUTION ACT (NO 790 OF 1902). It is unclear when South Australia inserted the Referendum process into the 1934 Constitution Act. The Parliament and Governor amended their 1856 Constitution Act without a Referendum within CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT (WAR SERVICE FRANCHISE) ACT (NO 1335 OF 1918) and CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT (MINISTERS' SALARIES) ACT (NO 1492 OF 1921)

79. The Parliament and Governor appear to have amended their Constitution after the creation of the 1934 Act for all other purported changes.

80. The South Australian Parliament have changed their enactment to The Parliament of South Australia enacts as follows; after the commencement of the Australia Act 1986; as in 1989 Parliament Acts contain the enactment of The Parliament of South Australia enacts as follows but continued the UK Coat of Arms. From 2003 the Politicians created South Australian Legislation by removing the UK Coat of Arms for the South Australian Coat of Arms or no Coat of Arms on Acts including substituting previous Acts from 1901 inclusive of their Constitution Act 1934 as of 6-01-2010 containing no Coat of Arms with the Parliament of South Australia enacts as follows. The politicians and Governors of South Australia included a Referendum process after 1934 by inserting Section 10A within The Constitution Act 1934. Constitution Act 1934 - South Australian Legislation.

Page | 31

81. South Australia continued: As South Australia like Victoria did not put the Referendum process into their original (1856) Constitution Act and continued with an enactment referencing the Governor of the State as His Excellency; then the politicians have allegedly breached their powers under Section 106 to 108 by creating a Constitution in 1934. The politicians and Governors then amended their Constitution Act 1934 several times allegedly without a Referendum. The politicians have continued their sovereignty over the people. Therefore if the South Australian Parliament cannot prove that they have had a Referendum and why they continued their Colonys enactment to all Acts, then Section 109 Commonwealth Constitution Act must apply to declare all law from 1901 invalid.

82. In reference to Tasmania, the Colony of Tasmania after their second Constitution Act in 1855 Constitution Act 1855 (Tas) to become self government changed their name of the Colony from Van Diemens Land to Tasmania. The politicians and Lieutenant Governor continued the enactment after agreeing to become a State from 1901 namely Be it enacted by His Excellency the Governor of Tasmania, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and House of Assembly, in Parliament assembled, as follows:-. Also the Parliament of Tasmania enacted THE ACTS INTERPRETATION ACT 1931 (22 GEO V, NO 59), contains the UK Coat of Arms on the Act with the same enactment before 1901. This Acts Interpretation Act is current as of 2013 including Section 3-: Acts to be construed subject to legislative powers of State. No law in Tasmania is read and construed as per Section 15A Acts Interpretation Act 1901 namely subject to the Commonwealth Constitution. Another example is the Aboriginal Lands Act 1995 (Tas) that cites the same enactment of His Excellency; but with the Tasmanian Coat of Arms on that Act that King George V approved in 1917. The Tasmanian Parliament has continued their enactment of His Excellency with the Tasmanian Coat of Arms even up to the latest Act assented on 18-07-2013 namely the Consolidated Fund Appropriation Act (No. 2) 2013 (No. 29 of 2013).

83. The Parliament of Tasmania did not include a Referendum process into their 1855 Constitution, before the commencement of the Commonwealth Constitution Act in 1901. The Parliament and Governors created their current Constitution Act 1934 assented on 14-01-1935 Constitution Act 1934 (Tas) containing the UK Coat of Arms and on page 46 is assented only by the Governor Mr. E Clark. There is no reference to a Referendum within their Constitution and with their Colonys enactment this appears to be a breach of Sections 106,107,108 and 128 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act. The latest version of Tasmanias Constitution Act 1934 namely The Constitution of Tasmania; does not have a Referendum process included into the Constitution, but under Schedule 4 contains several amendments to this Constitution.

Page | 32

84. Tasmania Continued: The Parliament of Tasmania continued their sovereignty over the people after 1901, with His Excellency referred to Governors or Lieutenant Governors of the Colony, and no law including their 1934 Constitution Act being subject to the Commonwealth Constitution. Therefore the Tasmanian politicians must prove that a Referendum was conducted and approved by the people for all changes or Section 109 Commonwealth Constitution must apply to declare all law from 1901 to be invalid.

85. In reference to New South Wales, the New South Wales Constitution Act 1855 (UK) - Documenting Democracy... The Colonys Parliament changed to the correct enactment pertaining to His/Her Most Excellent Majesty in 1856 within the Government Loans Act 1856 No 1a Be it enacted by the Queens Most Excellent Majesty by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly of New South Wales and by the authority of the same as follows: 86. As NSW was also in agreement to become a State under the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act from 1901, the Parliament and Governor enacted the Governor-General's Establishment Contribution Act 1900 No 78 Assented 11-12-1900. As per Wikipedia and parliament.nsw.gov.au site; No Governor is listed from May 1901 to 26 May 1902. The NSW Parliament then enacted the Governor's Salary Act 1901 No 40 Assented 4-11-1901. Quote: Section 1. This Act may be cited as the Governors Salary Act, 1901. Section 2 (4) For the purpose of the above provisions Schedule A to the Constitution Act (1855) is amended by substituting the figures 5,000 for the figures 7,000, and the figures 400 in that Schedule. End Quote: Comment: Neither these two Acts nor any other Acts appear to be subject to the Commonwealth Constitution Act from 1st January 1901. New South Wales just like Victoria did, amend their Governor Salary Act 1901 without a Referendum and NSW without the assent from the Governor or inferably a temporary Governor. I have checked the legislation.gov.uk website and UK Hansard, but there is no Governors Salary Act 1901 for NSW or Victoria. According to AustLii legal site, it appears the NSW Parliament enacted Sydney Harbour Trust Act 1900 (1901 No 1) assented 11-02-1901. The second Act by the NSW Parliament was Consolidated Revenue Fund Act 1901 No 2 assented 9-08-1901 to the last Act in 1901 namely the Shearers' Accommodation Act 1901 No 74 assented 28-12-1901 was inferably assented without a Governor. This continued with the first Act of 1902 namely Advances to Settlers (Amendment) Act 1901 (1902 No 1) assented 15-01-1902 to Necropolis Act 1901 (1902 No 20) assented 25-01-1902 inferably assented without a Governor. Further Acts were assented from 11-07-1902 namely Borough of Drummoyne Loan Enabling Act 1902 No 21 allegedly with the consent of a lawfully appointed Governor.

Page | 33

87. The Politicians and the Governor in 1902 created the Constitution Act 1902 No 32 that was assented on 18-08-1902. The NSW Parliamentary politicians in 1902 were the only politicians within a State Parliament to include in their Constitution Act under PART II Powers of the Legislature. Section 5 The Legislature shall, subject to the provisions of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, have power to make laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of New South Wales in all cases whatsoever; Provided that all Bills for appropriating any part of the public revenue, or for imposing any new rate, tax or impost, shall originate in the Legislative Assembly.

88. Continuation of Constitution Act 1902: If this Constitution Act 1902 was subject the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, then how could the Parliament and Governor as stated under the First Schedule, this Constitution removed the unrepealed portion of The Constitution Act (1855) 17 Vic. No. 41, Constitution Act Amendment Act of 1884 47 Vic. No. 5 repealed the whole Act, Constitution Act Amendment Act 1890 54 Vic. No. 1 repealed the whole Act and the Governors Salary Act 1901 No 40 repealed Section 2 sub section (4). If the Governors Salary Act 1901 No. 40 was not a Constitutional change to the 1855 Constitution Act, then this Constitution Act 1902 should not have repealed sections of this Act or any Constitution Act without a Referendum from 1st January 1901.

89. Also the Constitution Act 1902 does not contain a Referendum process that was required into the original or lawful amended principal Constitution Act before 1st January 1901. In other amendments to the NSW Constitution Act 1902 Section 7 was amended to Section 7A that inserted the Referendum process. Section 7 Constitution Act 1902 No 32 as at 1902; states: PART II Powers of the Legislature-: The Legislature may, by any Act, alter the laws in force for the time being under this Act or otherwise concerning the Legislative Council, and may provide for the nomination or election of another Legislative Council to consist of such members to be appointed or elected by such persons and in such manner as by any such Act is determined ; Provided that every Bill passed for any such purpose shall be reserved for the signification of His Majestys pleasure thereon, and a copy of such Bill shall be laid before both Houses of the Imperial Parliament thirty days at least before His Majestys pleasure thereon is signified.

The Western Australian Parliament has continued with the amended enactment within Act No. 5 DUTIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT ACT 2013 (NO. 5 OF 2013) that was assented before 1st July 2013 as the Act states.

If the Parliament cannot prove that that all law was subject to the Commonwealth Constitution, then Section 109 Constitution must apply to invalidate all Acts from 1901.

109.In reference to Australian Capital Territory: Commence from 1911 contain the UK Coat of Arms and the correct enactment of the Commonwealth Parliament. The Commonwealth Parliament under Section 52 enacted the Seat of Government Acceptance Act 1922 (Cth).

111.From 1901, the Commonwealth Parliament Acts were enacted Be it enacted by the Kings or Queens Most Excellent Majesty, the Senate, and the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Australia, as follows :-. The Queens Most Excellent Majesty is confirmed within the Preamble of the Constitution. This enactment also contained the lawful UK Coat of Arm or seal on all Acts from the Commonwealth, State or Territory Parliaments. The correct enactment of His/Her Most Excellent Majesty was confirmed on Page 301 Annotated Constitution 1901 by Quick and Garran Quote: By the Queens Most Excellent Majesty: The enacting words, showing the Authority by which the Commonwealth is created, are in the form in which Acts of Parliament have been framed from a remote period of English history. End Quote This enactment continued with the last Act passed by the Parliament and Governor General number 139 assented 2nd November 1972: REPATRIATION (TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS) ACT 1972 (NO. 139, 1972). The correct enactment from 1900 was repealed without a Referendum from 16th March 1973 SOCIAL SERVICES ACT 1973 (NO. 1, 1973) with all Commonwealth Acts commenced with an enactment of Be IT ENACTED by the Queen, the Senate and the House of Representatives of Australia, as follows: This amended enactment was confirmed by the creation of the Royal Styles and Titles Act 1973 enacted 19th October 1973 under the Queen of Australia also contains the Great Seal of Australia by the Commonwealth, State and Territory Parliaments. A Referendum is not recorded under the Australian Electoral Commission Referendum results for the Commonwealth to amend the enactments or Seals to any Act of Parliament or to create the Queen of Australia.

112.Continued comment of the Commonwealth Parliament Acts: From approximately 1979 within the AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE ACT 1979 NO. 58, 1979 the enactment was amended slightly to "Be it enacted by the Queen, and the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Australia, as follows:-" From after the enactment of the Australia Act 1986 all without a Referendum, the Commonwealth Parliament changed the enactment as cited by Wikipedia and the Parliament of Australia websites before October 1990 to The Parliament of Australia enacts as follows. Inclusive of For constitutional amendments passed at a referendum: "The Parliament of Australia, with the approval of the electors, as required by the Constitution enacts:". The Parliament or illegally referred as the Australian Government now has continued this current enactment with current legislation in 2013. The creation of the Parliament of Australia enacts as follows appears to ensure there is a break down in the Separation of Powers as how is it possible for the Parliament of the Commonwealth to enact any Act without the Separation of Powers being adhered to. The Parliaments can only submit and debate a Bill to become law.

113.The Australian Coat of Arms as described on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website states that King Edward VII in 1908 granted the official Coat of Arms of Australia which was amended in 1912 by King George V. But whether the Commonwealth Parliament in around 1933 amended the UK Coat of Arms for the Australian Coat of Arms or Seal on Act of Parliament including within the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942 (Cth) . From around 1973 the Australian Coat of Arms was amended as displayed within the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 (Cth) to no Coat of Arms on Acts of Parliament after the Australia Act. From after the enactment of the Australia Act 1986 the Commonwealth Parliament changed the enactment as cited by Wikipedia and the Parliament of Australia websites before October 1990 to The Parliament of Australia enacts as follows. The Parliament or illegally referred as the Australian Government has continued this current enactment with current legislation in 2013. As the Commonwealth Parliament not the Australian Government, operate under the Separation of Powers then this is an Act of alleged Treason as how can any Parliament enact any Act as follows, as a Parliament can only enact a Bill and debate the Bill.

114.The statement on by Justice Williams in the above case Hospital Provident Fund Pty Ltd v Victoria [1953] HCA 8; (1953) 87 CLR 1 (11 March 1953) enforces the Section 22 Australian Courts Act 1828 U.K continue what the role within the Separation of Powers not only for the Commnwealth but for all States and Territories. The High Court or any other Courts that are of competent jurisdiction as per Page 791 Annotated Constitution by Quick and Garran 1901, may override a State or Commonwealth Law under the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1900. Therefore it appears that no Chief Justice of the High Court or any other Chief Justice of the Federal, State or Territory Courts have ensured Section 22 Australian Courts Act 1828 was complied with before the creation of Section 15A within the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 and in Victoria Section 2 Acts Interpretation Act 1930 that declared all Acts were Subject to the Commonwealth Constitution Section 22 Australian Courts Act 1828 Quote: And be it further enacted, That every Law or Ordinance so to be made as aforesaid, shall within Seven Days from the Date thereof, be transmitted by the Governors of the said Colonies respectively to the said Supreme Courts, to be there enrolled and recorded, and at the expiration of Fourteen Days from the Day of the Date thereof every such Law or Ordinance so to be made as aforesaid shall take effect and be binding upon all His Majestys Subjects and others within the said Colonies respectively, until His Majestys Pleasure shall be known.

116.The Victorian Parliament continued their remaining powers as described in Section 107 Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901, to ensure that Section 1 and Section 60 of Victorias Constitution Act 1855 remained for all Acts, Regulations and Rules, but failed to adhere to Section 106 and 108 of Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901. The Colony of Victorias Constitution Act 1855 Section 1 states There shall be established in Victoria, instead of the Legislative Council now subsisting, One Legislative Council and One Legislative Assembly, to be severally constituted in the Manner herein-after provided; and Her Majesty shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the said Council and Assembly, to make Laws in and for Victoria, in all Cases whatsoever and Section LX (60).

117. As per the Acts Interpretation Act 1890; the State of Victoria ensured all laws inclusive of amending Constitution Acts were subject to this Act and continued with amendment Acts Interpretation Acts namely the Acts Interpretation Act 1915 ; Acts Interpretation Act 1919 ; and Acts Interpretation Act 1928 in order to continue their inferred sovereign powers; which is contrary to their limited powers under Sections 106, 107 and 108 the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901. As stated it was not until Section 2 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1930 that any Act, Regulation or Rule or even by-laws was inferably subject to the Commonwealth Constitution Act enacted in 1901. Section 109 must

apply to ensure all Acts that were not read and construed with the Constitution Act 1901 must be declared invalid; even if they were designed for the peace, welfare or order and good governance allegedly for the people, to which all Acts, Regulations, Rules and By-laws must follow.
118. Like the Commonwealth and most State and Territory Parliaments; the laws were not subject to the Commonwealth Constitution even after the 1930 and certainly within the Colony of Victoria it appears no law from at least 1862 namely An Act to amend in certain respects the Law relating to Licensed Public Houses and the Colonies of NSW and Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) from approximately 1825 Licensed Publicans Act 1825 No 3a including of the amendments before and after the enactment of Australian Courts Act 1828 that breach the Monopolies Act 1623 UK. This includes within the Colony of Victoria creating The Municipal Corporations Act 1863 and the creation of Local Government Act 1874 that also pertains to Property rates that breach Section 15 of the Constitution Act 1855 and Section 22 Australian Courts Act 1828 that were cited within Barton v R [1980] HCA 48; (1980) 147 CLR 75 (5 December 1980) and this case was confirmed in BELL v POLICE [2012] SASC 188 (17 October 2012). Both cases outline Sections 5 &/or Section 6 of the Australian Courts Act 1828 UK. 119.

123.The changes from 1901 to 2013 for the purported State of Victoria against Section 106 and 128 Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901. No Governors for the State of Victoria are listed from May 1900 to 9th December 1901 as per the parliament.vic.gov.au or Wikipedia sites. As per Wikipedia and parliament.nsw.gov.au site No Governor is listed from May 1901 to 26 May 1902. I have conducted basic searches on UK databases to no avail.

Shall be read and construed as one with The Constitution Act Amendment Act 1928 (hereinafter called the Principal Act) and any Act amending the same all of which Acts and this Act may be cited as the Constitution Act Amendment Acts. Confirmed within McDonald v Cain Victorian Full Court Supreme Court 28-051953 VLR halfway down on page 416 by Justice Gavin Duffy: Quote: The Parliamentary Salaries and Allowances Act 1948 (No. 5296) made some relevant alterations in The Constitution Act and the principal Act. It repealed Part III of Schedule D to The Constitution Act, and references to it in certain sections of The Constitution Act and the principal Act. Quote Continued: By sec. 2 it substituted for sec. 14 of the principal Act a new sec. 14 which in effect provided for appropriation of the consolidated revenue to pay specified salaries to the President of the Council, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Chairman of Committees of both Houses. By sec. 3 it substituted for sec. 17 of the principal Act a new sec. 17, providing for the appropriation of the consolidated revenue to pay specified salaries to the Premier, to each of nine other responsibility ministers, and a smaller salary to three or more responsible ministers. End Quote. This case cites the Constitution Reform Act 1937 also. 77A Comment on Parliamentary Salaries and Allowances Act 1948: This case does not reference at all Section 2 of The Acts Interpretation Act 1930 namely all Acts are subject to the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901, but not to exceed the power of the Victorian Parliament. The Justices Gavin Duffy, Martin and OBryan erred in law by failing to ensure this proposed Bill in question, which all justices backed the defendant John Cain Snrs arguments for the appointment of Commissioners to redivide the electoral districts of the legislative Assembly There is no mention of Section 106, 107 and 108 Commonwealth Constitution. It just proves in this case cited that the Parliament acts as Sovereign by portraying its full powers of a Colony instead of the State of Victoria; and the courts back the Parliament. This is a breach of the Separation of Powers under the 1855 original Constitution and the Commonwealth Constitution by failing to ensure that a check and balance system was in continued after the Commonwealth Constitution by Section 22 Australian Courts Act 1828 UK. Section 22 ensures the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, checks a Bill within 14 days of receiving the Bill to ensure it does not breach English Law and from 1st January 1901, the Commonwealth Constitution Act. Again Section 109 Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901 must apply not only to this Act; inclusive of all amendments, repeals or any creation of a Constitution.

In 1956 Victoria conducted its first and only Referendum

held in the purported State of Victoria on Hotel Closing hours. Inferably for the Melbourne Olympics to increase the six oclock (swill); but to extend the trading hours for the sale or disposal of liquor to customers until 10 OClock in the evening. This Referendum has NOTHING to do with Victorias Constitution itself; and it just proved the Parliament acted illegally as a Sovereign Parliament as this legislation applied to the Licensing Act 1955. At that time the Premier: Henry Bolte. Governor: Sir Reginald Dallas Brooks under the appointment of our present Monarch Queen Elizabeth II of England. Comment: The first and only Referendum on licences of Hotels and Australian wine licences would override that provision only on licensing within the Monopolies Act 1623 UK that has been confirmed in the Victorian Imperial Acts Application Act 1922 and continued within the amended Victorian Imperial Acts Application Act 1980 and several High Court cases from the consolidation in 1980. No other Referendum has been recorded before or since 1956 to validate all licences including of drivers, plumbers, electrician, financial advisers and so on; within the purported State of Victoria, any purported Commonwealth Law or any other law of any purported State or Territory due to the fact that the politicians have proclaimed their sovereignty over the people which is an act of Fraud and alleged Treason.

203A Continuation of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984: Page 31 number 6: The Constitution Act 1975 shall be amended as follows: (a) After section 12 there shall be inserted the following section: Governors powers exercisable by deputy. 12A (1) During the temporary absence of the Governor from the seat of government or from Victoria (except for the purpose of administering the Government of the Commonwealth) all the powers and authorities conferred upon or vested in the Governor by any statutory or other law or usage of Victoria shall and may be exercised, performed and executed by the person appointed by the Governor under the letters patent to be the deputy of the Governor during such absence subject nevertheless to anything expressed in the instrument appointing such deputy. (2) In sub section (1) the letters patent means the letters patent dated 29 October 1900 as amended by the letters patent dated 30 April 1913 and mentioned in the preamble to the Governors Deputys Powers Act 1916.; (b) In section 69 (1) the words and to be the date of its commencement where no other commencement is therein provided shall be repealed; and (c) In Part II. of the First Schedule paragraph (1) shall be repealed. Premier: John Cain Jnr. Governor: Sir Brian Murray under the appointment of Queen Elizabeth II of Australia, not England. 203B Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 - SECT 6 Construction of Acts-: (1) Every Act shall be construed as operating to the full extent of, but so as not to exceed, the legislative power of the State of Victoria, to the intent that where a provision of an Act, or the application of any such provision to any person, subject-matter or circumstance, would, but for this section, have been construed as being in excess of that power, it shall nevertheless be a valid provision to the extent to which it is not in excess of that power and the remainder of the Act and the application of that provision to other persons, subject-matters or circumstances shall not be affected. (2) The provisions of this section are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any provision of any Act relating to the construction, or extent of the operation, of that Act. 203C As stated in Momcilovic v The Queen [2011] HCA 34 (8 September 2011)HEYDON J. Quote: Paragraph 398: Judicial power and statutes. The extent of judicial power to change the common law and equitable rules may be limited, and controversial at the margin, but it exists. In contrast, at common law judicial power to change the meaning of valid statutes does not exist. There is only power to ascertain that meaning by interpretation. That inevitably flows from the duty to resolve controversies about statutory meaning. But interpretation is distinct from amendment. "Amendment is a legislative act. It is an exercise which must be reserved to Parliament."[581] It does not extend to the performance of a legislative function. The "rewriting of ... statute[s]" is "the function of the Parliament, not a Ch III court"[582]. A federal statute which purports to delegate a legislative function like rewriting statutes to a court is invalid[583].

203D Paragraph 399: These principles have important consequences. One example relates to s 12 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), which gave "the common law of Australia in respect of native title" the force of the law of the Commonwealth. Section 12 was held invalid[584]. The common law is the body of law which the courts create and define. Section 12 thus delegated to the judicial branch of government a legislative power to make law. Another example is s 15A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (Cth), which is similar to s 6 of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 (Vic), and which provides: "Every Act shall be read and construed subject to the Constitution, and so as not to exceed the legislative power of the Commonwealth, to the intent that where any enactment thereof would, but for this section, have been construed as being in excess of that power, it shall nevertheless be a valid enactment to the extent to which it is not in excess of that power." End Quote. Comment: This case is just one of several cases within the High Court and the Victorian Supreme Court that proves No section within the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 that repealed the Acts Interpretation Act 1958 is subject to the Commonwealth Constitution as per Section 3 Acts Interpretation Act 1958 and Section 2 Acts Interpretation Act 1930. 204.1984 Constitution (Duration of Parliament) Act.

125. All these changes within the Constitution Acts are a clear breach of Section 106 Commonwealth Constitution Act from 1901. I have checked all these Changes or repeals from 1901 to June 2013. The Parliament has continued to assume sovereignty to which all these alleged Acts are alleged Acts of Treason as any breach of allegiance as per The King v Casement 1917 Kings Bench has stated on bottom of page 12. Section 109 Commonwealth Constitution must apply to declare all Acts, Regulations and Rules invalid.

126. As per the case below Section 109 is outlined and page. Jemena Asset Management (3) Pty Ltd
v Coinvest Limited [2011] HCA 33 (7 September 2011) FRENCH CJ, GUMMOW, HEYDON, CRENNAN, KIEFEL AND BELL JJ.

Quote: The paramountcy[53] of the Parliament of the Commonwealth under the Constitution resolves any conflict between Commonwealth and State law as set out in covering cl 5 and s 109 of the Constitution: "5 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 every part of the Commonwealth, notwithstanding anything in the laws of any State ... 109. When a law of a State is inconsistent with a law of the Commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be invalid." 1. Quick and Garran describe s 109 as "practically a corollary"[54] of ss 106, 107 and 108 of the Constitution which deal respectively with the saving of State Constitutions, powers of State Parliaments and State laws, all of which are made subject to the Constitution. In the context of the law-making powers of the State and Commonwealth Parliaments under their respective Constitutions, s 109 requires a comparison between any two laws which create rights, privileges or powers, and duties or obligations, and s 109 resolves conflict, if any exists, in favour of the Commonwealth.

Page | 149

127Continued Quote: Paragraph 38: The expressions "a law of the State" and "a law of the Commonwealth" in s 109 are sufficiently general for s 109 to be capable of applying to inconsistencies which involve not only a statute or provisions in a statute, but also, as mentioned, an industrial order or award[55], or other legislative instrument or regulation[56], made under a statute. Paragraph 39: Applicable principles have been reiterated in the joint reasons of the whole Court in Dickson v The Queen[57]: "The statement of principle respecting s 109 of the Constitution which had been made by Dixon J in Victoria v The Commonwealth [('the Kakariki Case')][58] was taken up in the joint reasons of the whole Court in Telstra Corporation Ltd v Worthing[59] as follows: 'In Victoria v The Commonwealth[60], Dixon J stated two propositions which are presently material. The first was: "When a State law, if valid, would alter, impair or detract from the operation of a law of the Commonwealth Parliament, then to that extent it is invalid." The second, which followed immediately in the same passage, was: "Moreover, if it appears from the terms, the nature or the subject matter of a Federal enactment that it was intended as a complete statement of the law governing a particular matter or set of rights and duties, then for a State law to regulate or apply to the same matter or relation is regarded as a detraction from the full operation of the Commonwealth law and so as inconsistent." ...' The first proposition is often associated with the description 'direct inconsistency'[[61]], and the second with the expressions 'covering the field'[[62]] and 'indirect inconsistency'." 128.Paragraph 40: The expression "cover the field" means "cover the subject matter", which was the description used and explained by Dixon J in Ex parte McLean[63]. From the outset the aspect of inconsistency associated with the expression "covering the field" has not been free from criticism[64]. There can be little doubt that indirect inconsistency involves "more subtle ... contrariety"[65] than any "textual"[66] or "direct collision"[67] between the provisions of a Commonwealth law and a State law. Paragraph 41: The crucial notions of "altering", "impairing" or "detracting from" the operation of a law of the Commonwealth have in common the idea that a State law conflicts with a Commonwealth law if the State law undermines the Commonwealth law. Therefore any alteration or impairment of, or detraction from, a Commonwealth law must be significant and not trivial[68]. Paragraph 42: Although the utility of accepted tests of inconsistency, based on recognising different aspects of inconsistency for the purposes of s 109, is well established as Mason J observed in Ansett Transport Industries (Operations) Pty Ltd v Wardley[69], it is not surprising that different tests of inconsistency directed to the same end are interrelated and in any one case more than one test may be applied in order to establish inconsistency for the purposes of s 109. All tests of inconsistency which have been applied by this Court for the purpose of s 109 are tests for discerning whether a "real conflict"[70] exists between a Commonwealth law and a State law.

129. Page 939 Annotated Constitution by Quick and Garran1901 Our analysis and explanations of Secs 106, 107 and 108 render it unnecessary to elaborate on Section 109 (above), which is practically a corollary to the three preceding sections. Sec. 106 provides that the Constitution of each State is to continue, subject to the Constitution of the Commonwealth. Sec. 107 provides that the power of each State Parliament is to continue, subject to the Constitution of the Commonwealth. Sec. 108 provides that every law in force in a colony is to continue, subject to the Constitution of the Commonwealth.

Annotated Constitution S109 Continued: The consequence of this subjection of State Constitution, State Parliamentary power, and State Law, to the Federal Constitution, would have been obvious without the insertion of Sec. 109. That Section, however, places BEYOND DOUBT the principle that the Federal Constitution and the laws passed by the Federal Parliament in pursuance of that Constitution, prevail over the State Constitutions and the State Laws passed by the State Parliaments, in pursuance of the State Constitutions. The later laws, however, are declared to be INVALID only to the extent of their inconsistency with the former. End Quote. A law of the Commonwealth means a valid law. A law passed
by the Federal Parliament outside the scope of its authority would be no law at all. (Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425)
