* Gary, I like this, Chapter as you are basically saying to people they are not living in the REAL
world but in a FICTIONAL world, is that it?
**#** INSPECTOR-RIKATI®, that is right. Australians really haven’t got a clue what they are as
nationals and are easily led by the nose, so to say. Not particularly a good example!
As I stated in “A LETTER TO YOU” DOCUMENT;
It should be kept in mind that the High Court of Australia in Sue v Hill was not sitting as a
Court of law, but rather sitting, acting as personae designatae, as a Court of Disputed
Returns on behalf of the Federal Parliament, and as such its Sue v Hill ruling was bias, and in
my view absolutely worthless!
Here we have High Court of Australia judges dealing with a case for and on behalf of the Federal
Parliament making declarations which somehow binds the High Court of Australia as a Court of
law where any such kind of declaration would have been considered utter and sheer nonsense. Sue v
Hill, was not a normal case litigated before a Court of law and should never as such have been
given any credibility. It basically was a political case and judges of the High Court of Australia
would have done better to avoid such controversy as I view a gross abuse of their positions. I view,
that if they had claimed the same in sitting as a Court of law, and so to say, they might well have
made themselves the laughing stock.
Australian Agricultural Co Ltd. v F.E.D.F.A of Australasia (1913) 17 CLR 261 and 278
“The oath of a justice of this court is ' to do right to all manner of people according to law' Our sworn
duty is to the law itself and to the organic nature of the constitution first of all. If, then, we find the law to
be plainly in conflict with what we or an y of our predecessors errornously thought it to be, we have, as I
conceive no right to choose between giving effect to the law, and maintaining an incorrect interpretation,
It is not, in my opinion, better that the court should be persistently wrong than that it should be ultimately right.
In Preston Ice and Cool Stores Pty Ltd. v. Hawkings (1955) V.L.R. 89; (1955) Austin Digest 337.
“It was held that where there is a review/appeal the party having sought such review/appeal is not bound by the
grounds used in the original hearing but may refer to other grounds even so, such grounds had not been upon
which the original order was based.”
The High Court of Australia rather then to accept, as was admitted by the Australian government
Solicitors, that a Section 75(v) of the Constitution application for a Mandamus/Prohibition was
appealable directly to the High Court of Australia blatantly disregard this. By this making a
mockery of the appeal rights provided for by the Framers of the Constitution. By this the judges
having taken upon themselves to be above the Constitution!
8. That as to your issue that the injunction no longer would have any validity I urge the
court to consider the following of the 2 November 2001 transcript at pages 8 and 9;
MR SCHOREL-HLAVKA; “I’m not necessarily, at the moment, disputing the election. I’m disputing the
writs.”
MR SCHOREL-HLAVKA: So that’s different, sir. At least nobody say I’m crying sour grapes for not winning
whatever an election ---
MR SCHOREL-HLAVKA; That’s right. I haven’t lost yet. I’m doing before it.
As such, the issue before the Court was one that I contested the validity of the writs, which
obviously had the flow on that I disputed the validity of the purported election to be held.
The above quotations makes clear that the Commonwealth of Australia cannot interfere with the
right of appeal from a Federal Court to the High Court of Australia, where the High Court of
Australia has original jurisdiction. As such the High Court of Australia was wrong to, so to say,
isolate the s383 CEA1918 section but should have accepted that S75(v) of the Constitution gave a
direct right to the High Court of Australia, original refused by the registrar on 30 October 2001,
who then made known that instead the application should be made to the Federal Court of Australia.
Mr. BARTON.-
The object of it is to make sure that where a person has a right to ask for any of these writs he shall be
enabled to go at once to the High Court, instead of having his process filtered through two or more courts.
There can be no question that the writs were defective and unconstitutional ball those issued by the
Governor-General as well as those issued by the Governors.
Mr. SOLOMON .- HANSARD Constitutional Convention 31 January 1898 [page 302]
We have all had a great deal to say about this Federal Court. Most of us, when we were candidates for election to
the Federal Convention, placed great stress upon it as affording a means of bringing justice within easy
reach of the poor man.
Well, the High Court of Australia manipulated its powers to first refuse me to file with the Court in
October 2001 the Section 75(v) writs, despite it having jurisdiction, making clear that I had to apply
to the Federal Court of Australia, and then on 7 November 2001 Marshall J holding that he had no
jurisdiction as it was a matter for the Court of Disputed Returns. It becomes beyond the financial
ability for the POOR MAN to obtain justice where judges are manipulating in this manner their
position.
PAVLEKOVIC-SMITH v AEC (1993) 115 ALR 641, Dawson J;
If a challenge on justiciable grounds can be mounted to the validity of a general election – a question that I
need not consider – such a challenge cannot be entertained by the Court of disputed Returns. It may be
that the High Court has such a jurisdiction but that has not been decided; see the dicta of Gibbs CJ in
McKenzie v Commonwealth .
The Court of Disputed Returns acting as personae designatae (for the Parliament) wouldn’t be
the appropriate Court venue to deal with all matters, as a Court of law, I had placed before
the Federal Court of Australia. For example I disputed the validity of all writs, and the Court of
Disputed Returns can only deal with one disputed writ! The Court of Disputed Returns neither has
jurisdiction to deal with a Section 75(v) application for mandamus/Prohibition which was on 7
November 2001 before Marshall J. therefore, I can only conclude that the High Court of Australia
became the constitutional terrorist rather then being the GUARDIAN OF THE
CONSTITUTION and as set out also it struck out my NOTICE OF APPEAL regardless that no
orders were made to formally invoke jurisdiction as my numerous objections made were not
dismissed. I for one made sure that in the ADDRESS TO THE COURT the many objections were
placed and Gummow J himself referred to the ADDRESS TO THE COURT and as such he knew
or should have known what was before the Court. As the Hansard records of the Constitution
Convention Debates made clear the Framers of the Constitution did not want the Commonwealth of
Australia to have any legislative powers with the right of any citizen to pursue an appeal to the High
Court of Australia with re refuses by a federal court to issue a Mandamus/Prohibition. Then what
were the judges on about on 3 October 2001 one should ask?
The issue is that well before the purported election was Held I followed the legal processes against
the “validity of the writs” (not the election itself as it was not held then) and as such it was not a
matter for the Court of disputed Return as parliament had never any judicial powers to decide
constitutional and other legal matters, I pursued as a Court of law.
HANSARD records the following Constitutional Convention 22 April 1897 [page 1150]
Mr. BARTON: I have to propose a new clause to follow clause 48 in this form:
Until the Parliament otherwise provides all questions of disputed elections arising in the Senate or House
of Representatives shall be determined by a Court exercising federal jurisdiction.
We have not said "the High Court" here, because there is power in the Constitution to invest any court
with federal jurisdiction, so that this clause will work in this convenient way that the Court of a State
invested with federal jurisdiction may determine such a matter in any States
"The validity of any election or return may be disputed by petition addressed to the Court of
Disputed Returns and not otherwise." (emphasis added)
The phrase "and not otherwise" implements the policy stated by Sir William Lyne in 1902 to remove the dealing
with election petitions from the control of the Committees of Elections and Qualifications to which such matters
were then referred, and to direct the petitions for trial in the Court of Disputed Returns.
As such, the validity of any election is not limited to be heard before the High Court sitting as a
Court of Disputed Returns but can be heard also before any competent Federal Court. Indeed my
very argument against Marshall J judgment was that I pursued a constitutional issue challenging the
validity of the general election that was beyond the jurisdiction of the Court of Disputed Returns. It
appears to me that judges of the High Court of Australia, not being able to use their evolution
theory in a Court of law, then launch it in their political Court of Disputed Returns session instead.
Again, I can but repeat it that the High Court of Australia sitting as a Court of Disputed Returns is
acting for the Members of Parliament to make decisions on their behalf and as such is bias and I
view abused its powers to purport to give a decision that should not have been and neither was
within the jurisdictional competence of the High Court of Australia sitting as a Court of Disputed
Returns but was only within the jurisdictional competence of the High Court of Australia sitting as
a Court of law within Chapter III of the Constitution. When it sits as a Court of Disputed Returns it
is not bound by the same principles as a Court of law and for this a petitioner can be found to have
had a valid claim but the Court can nevertheless dismiss the case upon the argument they do not
think that there would have been any great difference in the lection outcome, if this person had not

been a candidate, which might have stood wrongly. Where as in a Court of law this is not relevant,
as the Court must consider what is legally appropriate and so irrespective of the consequences.
Indeed, declaring a legislation unconstitutional can have severe consequences but the Court cannot
avoid to declare the law as it truly is merely because of some adverse consequences in doing so.
After all, ultimately not the Court but the Parliamentarians have passed the legislation and allowed
it to be enacted, not the Court, and as such if there are consequences then this false back to the
parliamentarians for having allowed such unconstitutional legislation in the first place to be enacted.
The Court of disputed returns however has no legal jurisdiction to determine such matters of
constitutional validity of legislation as any issue arising about constitutional validity must then be
submitted to the High Court of Australia sitting as a Court of law, where, even if involving the same
judges, their judgment must be upon legal basis and constitutionally sound. In Sue v Hill, this
procedure appears to me never have been followed, where the judges, sitting on behalf of the
parliament simply made judicial decision outside the jurisdiction of the Court of Disputed Returns.
Indeed, we had that Gummow J in the Ned Kelly case sitting as a Court of Disputed Returns argued
that the was no need to publish a Gazette, but as I successfully argued in the criminal trial, the
framers of the Constitution specifically stated that one could not act upon a Proclamation unless it
was first published in the Gazette. Gummow J, so to say, basically was fantasizing his own versions
as after all he was sitting on behalf of the Parliament, a political body, and so hardly was going to
make a ruling against those he represented! This, whereas in a criminal trial his arguments simply
was totally defeated. It is very dangerous for judges sitting as a Court of Disputed Returns to
purport to make judicial decision which are beyond their powers. The moment we accept that the
High Court of Australia sitting as judges on behalf of the Parliament, acting as personae designatae,
in Sue v Hill could use and exercise judicial powers of a Court of law we have transgressed the
separation of judicial and legislative powers because the judges themselves have become the evil-
doers to give the Parliament their judicial powers. Hence, we can do nothing less but disregard the
Sue v Hill judgment as one belonging to their fantasy, and not unless we have a Court of law
considering all relevant matters, including the Framers of the Constitution stating that it was
“beyond the Constitution” to make the Commonwealth of Australia” somehow an independent
nation, then, I view, how judges may fancy themselves to declare otherwise might at the very least
question their competence to adjudicate on constitutional matters. Chapter 082B Nic Faulkner
also high light certain issues albeit I do not fully agree with his line of argument. In particularly
quoting someone which may or may no longer be relevant as such a clear example would be Lionel
Price CBE QC, who I understand no longer would pursue what he stated previously because of
further disclosure of details I provided him with. Then again this would more then likely have been
unknown to Nic Faulkner, in view it is of recent events. The evolutionary theory is a very
dangerous theory to apply and in my view the judges of the High Court of Australia sitting on
behalf of the parliament to make a “political” decision may have been entitled to make all kind of
claims regardless what a constitutional nonsense it is, however they should have made this clear in
the judgment and neither subsequently as a Court of law relied upon Sue v Hill decision. In my
view, it is this where they were wrong. In my view, it would be better to keep the Court of Disputed
Returns all together separate from the High Court of Australia to ever again prevent the same
terrible errors to be occurring. The moment anyone attributes the Court of disputed Returns as
having judicial powers to determine constitutional matters, as the Sue v Hill judgment purported to
do, then we have handed to the Parliament JUDICIAL POWERS, as again the judges were sitting
there representing the parliament and not exercising their judicial powers within Chapter III of the
Constitution. In my view, having judges appointed by recommendation of the Government of the
Day rather then upon recommendation of some judicial body attracts the stacking of the High Court
of Australia suspicion, and then having those judges using or abusing their powers representing
those politicians as a Court of disputed Returns makes it a very dangerous game, so to say, where
the integrity and credibility of the High Court of Australia is placed or seems to be placed in
disrepute by the very conduct of the judges themselves. It ought to be obvious that where the

politicians had a personal interest to enlarge their powers by having accepted that they were no
longer a constitutional Parliament but placed themselves above the Constitution they needed the
very judges they had recommended to be appointed and now were acting on their behalf to make a
decision that favoured them to the maximum. As such, I view, the High Court of Australia judges
were political stooges for the Parliament, doing, so to say, their dirty work. Here we have that a
Court of Disputed Returns not having any constitutional jurisdiction to determine constitutional
issues but only can determine election issues upon what is constitutional applicable set it self up to
give parliamentarians (for whom they acted) JUDICIAL POWERS to determine constitutional
issues. The issue should be considered if the Parliament itself in stead of the High Court of
Australia sitting as a Court of disputed Returns, was to have heard the petition of the Sue v Hill
case, could it have then made the decisions the Court of Disputed Returns handed down on its
behalf? In my view only a fool could have accepted the Parliament to make decisions as to
constitutional matters and have this judicially applicable to any court of law operating within
Chapter III of the Constitution. It is an irony that the very judges who are the GUARDIAN OF
THE CONSTITUTION then turn out to be the terrorist of the Constitution by their conduct to
hand over JUDICIAL POWERS, in the manner they did, to the Parliament.
After all, nothing stops the Federal Parliament to abolish the Court of Disputed Returns and then
build upon what the Court of Disputed Returns has established that in future the parliamentarians
themselves can use the Sue v Hill judgment to indicate they now have also JUDICIAL POWERS
to make decisions in regard of constitutional issues. In my view, every judge sitting in a Court of
Disputed returns should ask himself/herself can the Parliament which I represent make such
decision or would this transgress the judicial powers into legislative powers? Perhaps, the judges of
the High Court of Australia lack appropriate training and experiences to determine the difference
between representing political motivated politicians to make decisions on their behalf in a Court of
Disputed Returns and that of sitting as a judge in a Court of law where they must remain impartial
and bound to follow the true intentions of the Framers of the Constitution. In my view, the judges
may not be aware of their utter ridiculous and absurd judgments they made as judges sitting as a
Court of Disputed Returns (personae designatae) in the Sue v Hill case, and this makes it even
worse as they will follow their own ill-conceived judgment and by this ongoing deny the people of
a Court of law that determines matters on judicial basis what is truly constitutionally applicable. I
view therefore it is a LEGAL FICTION that the High Court of Australia is the GUARDIAN OF
THE CONSTITUTION, rather I view, such as what is stated in this book and other books
published that the High Court of Australia is rather a constitutional terrorist.
It is often a LEGAL FICTION that justice is provided, where the lawyers of the Federal
Government (the CDPP) are not just threatening but in fact swindling the Court to make orders for
legal cost for the Commonwealth of Australia, which the Magistrate on 17 November 2006 only
allowed for in a limited way, even so the documents served refer only to “court cost” and does not
provide for “legal cost”. Indeed, if it were to do so it would deny a fair and legal election to occur as
no one could fairly challenge election matters. It would be left only to the rich and powerful to
challenge electoral matters, no matter how right they might be. Many people therefore cave in under
threats and while lawyers may boost they won the case, reality is they swindled the Court and in the
process the Defendant in their criminal conduct. I take it very serious when lawyers are
manipulating the legal processes in a way to place undue pressure upon a Defendant to win a case.
To me that is not what justice is about. With elections the rights of any elector should never be
compromised by highly paid lawyers who regardless how wrong they might be themselves never
loosing as they make money out of litigating, then threatens a law abiding elector in to caving in to
plea guilty as to threaten with pursuing cost, despite the documents served (summons) not providing
for this. Yet, even the High Court of Australia manipulates this matter to make orders for cost, in
regard of a challenge to electoral matters and so rob the ordinary average elector of any reasonable
opportunity to challenge the validity of electoral laws, therefore it is a ILLUSION that we have

FAIR and PROPER elections where anyone challenging the validity of elections is faced with
huge legal cost. I view, that no fair minded Court could accept any legal cost being ordered where it
relates to electoral matters as ultimately it denied the ability of providing FAIR and PROPER
elections, as the appeal process is part of the election process. Unless an election process is within
the financial means for any elector, that includes any challenge to its validity, as the appeal process
is part of an election, there can be no FAIR, and PROPER elections, and threats and threats should
never be part of this process. In my view the lawyers themselves are the real criminals! Yet, appear
to me sanctioned by the Court to pursue this criminal conduct. Then JUSTICE is a LEGAL
FICTION.
As the orders of the HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA makes clear “The notice of appeal be
struck out.” Now, how on earth can it be that a Section 75(v) application of the Constitution for a
mandamus/prohibition is struck out without being heard upon its MERITS is beyond me, and as
previous published books set out extensively the Framers of the Constitution made clear that where
there is a claim of ULTRA VIRES, as I did in support of the applications that the election to be
held were unconstitutional, etc, it ought to be heard.
TAYLOR v. TAYLOR [1979] HCA 38; (1979) 143 CLR 1 (22 August 1979) (Folder 1)
Similarly in Commissioner of Police v. Tanos (1958) 98 CLR 383, at p 395, Dixon C.J. and Webb J. said that "it
is a deep-rooted principle of the law that before anyone can be punished or prejudiced in his person or property
by any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding he must be afforded an adequate opportunity of being heard."
There is another LEGAL FICTION that somehow JUSTICE is provided for people accused of
TERRORISM, where the Federal Attorney-General somehow determines matters and lawyers
somehow have to be screened and qualified by the Commonwealth of Australia to be acceptable to
defend a accused. It is plain stupidity to even consider that such a system can be in place let alone
actually do so. Any accused in breach of Commonwealth law simply is to be dealt with before a
State Court and the State Court is governed by State legislation, and the Commonwealth of
Australia has no constitutional powers to interfere with this.
Hansard 8-2-1898 Constitution Convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National Australasian
Convention)
Mr. HIGGINS.-I did not say that it took place under this clause, and the honorable member is quite right in
saying that it took place under the next clause; but I am trying to point out that laws would be valid if they
had one motive, while they would be invalid if they had another motive.
Hansard 9-2-1898 Constitution Convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National Australasian
Convention) Mr. GLYNN.-
We ought not to create the evil of making the Judges not merely interpreters, but the extenders of the
Constitution, and we ought to give the Constitution such a degree of elasticity as will render it capable of being
moulded to the changed conditions as time goes on, and prevent the dangerous alternative of judicial
expansion.
And
Mr. ISAACS.-How could it?
Mr. HIGGINS.-It could not. The dead-lock clauses only apply to laws passed by the Parliament.
Mr. DOBSON.-But some honorable members argue that they would apply to a proposal to amend the
Constitution.
Mr. HIGGINS.-No, because the Constitution is not passed by the Parliament.
Hansard 31-1-1898 Constitution Convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National
Australasian Convention) Mr. SOLOMON.-
We shall not only look to the Federal Judiciary for the protection of our interests, but also for the just
interpretation of the Constitution:
No; because you do not give any power with regard to punishing crime to the Commonwealth ,
HANSARD 8-2-1898 Constitution Convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National
Australasian Convention)
Mr. OCONNOR .-The amendment will insure proper administration of the laws, and afford their protection to
every citizen.
Mr. SYMON.-That is insured already.
Mr. OCONNOR .-In what way?
Mr. SYMON.-Under the various state Constitutions.
Mr. OCONNOR.-Yes. We are now dealing with the prohibition against the alteration of these
Constitutions. We are dealing with a provision which will prevent the alteration of these Constitutions in
the direction of depriving any citizen of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Because if
this provision in the Constitution is carried it will not be in the power of any state to pass a law to amend its
Constitution to do that. It is a declaration of liberty and freedom in our dealing with citizens of the
Commonwealth. Not only can there be no harm in placing it in the Constitution, but it is also necessary for
the protection of the liberty of everybody who lives within the limits of any State.

Hansard 11-03-1891 Constitution Convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National
Australasian Convention) Mr. CLARK:
What we want is a separate federal judiciary, allowing the state judiciaries to remain
under their own governments.
It should therefore be very clear that any person accused of terrorism is denied a FAIR and
PROPER trial if the Commonwealth of Australia in anyway at all interferes with the accused right
to have legal representation to his/her choice, and nothing the Commonwealth of Australia can do
as to deny any lawyer to represent a accused, regardless the lawyer not being approved by the
Commonwealth of Australia as proceedings remains to be subject to State court legislative
provisions and any lawyer being the member of the Bar of the State Supreme Court then can
practice to represent an accused as to deny this would infringe the right of a lawyer to do so, as well
as the accused to be somehow restricted to select a lawyer that the Commonwealth of Australia may
prefer. Therefore, any idea as to have a special “TERRORIST” court might be nice to consider to
determine the guilt of who I consider the greatest terrorist John Howard, but even he is entitled
upon the rights as like any other person provided for within the Constitution. No special
“TERRORIST” courts therefore could be deemed constitutionally valid as again;
Hansard 2-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates Mr. BARTON.-
No; because you do not give any power with regard to punishing crime to the Commonwealth ,
Because no judge can be an adjudicator in his own cause, it must be clear that in effect not a single
judge could purport to have a position to decide this matter if his/her own position depends upon the
outcome of this matter to be decided.
It would be judicial bias for any judicial officer to decide a matter in which his very own survival of
being a judicial officer depends upon the outcome of the matter.
The first principles of British law incompetence, propter affectum to sit upon the trial must be considered.
In my view a Jury of men in the language of omni exceptions majores could without difficulty
consider the matters and if it is tenable for a High Court of Australia to somehow create on its own
some kind of a LEGAL FICTION that does not exist but affects by this the very constitutional
rights enshrined in the Constitution!
All I sought was simply that elections were being held according to the legal provisions!
What I discovered was that the AEC and the Australian Government Solicitors misled the Court in
various ways as to ensure that this purported election could proceed regardless what the
consequences were and to cause me to be ordered to pay cost for the hearing before the Federal
Court of Australia.
Now that I filed the Notice of appeal, the Australian Government Solicitors made clear they will
oppose the case upon lack of legal jurisdiction, even so of the fact that there are orders for cost
which in itself entitled me to appeal.
It must be clear, they are playing a sickening game rather then to have argued the case upon its
MERITS.
The Governor-General clearly can’t exceed his powers, and is limited to issue writs within and in
compliance with Australian Law and the Commonwealth Constitution.
It ought to be clear, that had the AEC acted on 22 October 2001 to request the Governor-General
and the Governor’s to withdraw their writs, and to issue writs, in accordance with legislated
provisions, then if those writs were issued quickly only a few weeks delay would have occurred.
I have checked extensively (after downloading it all) the HANSARD of the Constitutional
Convention of 1891, 1897 and 1898 and it is clear that the framers of the Commonwealth
Constitution Bill were in the mind that the States rights to determine certain matters in regard of
elections of Senators must be protected.
The Commonwealth, so the AEC, therefore has no powers to ignore State electoral legislation.
As I pointed out, the AEC or its officers were refusing would-be candidates to nominate, because of
being 10 minutes or so to late from the hour of 12 midday on Thursday 18 October 2001. Yet, with
the House of Representatives, in law (Section 156) there was still 24 hours to go and for the Senate
in most States there was still 48 hours to go!
It must be clear, that the Court of Disputed Returns within Section 353(1) can’t entertain any
petition in regard of all writs and as such my application before the Federal Court was appropriate.
Lawyers warned me, of the record, prior to the hearing before the Federal Court, that my case
would, so to say, be RAILROADED as there was no way the court would hear my case regardless
of what the MERITS of my case was about!
I take it very serious that a judge of the Federal Court of Australia dismissed my application upon
the basis of there being no legal jurisdiction where clearly my material was giving sufficient
grounds to have the matter heard before the Federal Court.
As I expected the case to be RAILROADED, I had even included what had gone on with the
Deputy Registrar of the High Court prior to filing my application in the Federal Court as to make
sure that the Court could be aware of my actions.

The fact that the Australian Government Solicitors took it upon themselves, as I view it, to grossly
misled the Court, in my view, is something that demands a ROYAL COMMISSION as clearly
their material was not just inaccurate but withholding from the court relevant material and also
misconstruing material where the authorities referred to clearly pointed out what the decisions were
about.
I am due to set up a website (I own 7) which will publish all material as I intend to provide to the
General Public all details so they for themselves can conclude it the AEC and the Australian
Government Solicitors and the Federal Court acted appropriately in all the circumstances.
It is my position that the Australian Government Solicitors ought to seek “leave to appeal out of
time” (to which I consent) and appeal the 7 November 2001 Marshall J decision, upon the ground
that the Court had been grossly misled by the 3rd Respondent and the lawyers involved.
I do not know if the Australian Government Solicitors have a normal conduct of perverting the
course of justice and causing miscarriage of justice, but certainly, I view, a ROYAL
COMMISSION ought to investigate this, as well as the conduct of Marshall J.
As a litigant I am entitled to a fair and proper hearing, and I view I was robbed of this, not because
the trial judge made a decision upon the basis of the MERITS OF THE CASE and the material
filed before the Court, but because of a blatant disregard of it. Now faced with huge cost to file a
petition and publish it in the Gazette’s etc all totally uncalled for that the AEC and its legal
representatives not perverted the course of JUSTICE.
I question now also, how many other cases the Australian Government Solicitors might be involved
in where the Notices and Acts might be invalid but they are withholding this from the Courts?
It also ought to be questioned, that if the writs indeed were void and of no effect, if then the AEC
and the Australian Government Solicitors should be held personally accountable for the cost of the
purported elections and the cost of litigation, where they, so to say, “SCREWED” the public to
have purported elections held, they knew or ought to have known were illegal.
In the mean time, I view all Attorney Generals ought to be warned that Notices and Acts published
too late in their State/Territory might be invalid in certain circumstances and they better notify all
those who placed notices and are unaware of it. Obviously, the extent of the delay in publishing
Gazette’s must also be checked, as to how long this has been going on.
I enclose hereby a copy of the Special Gazette S421 which next to the wording AusInfo shows the
date of “publication” to be 10/10/01.
I enclose also Government Notices Gazette GN41 which next to the wording AusInfo has the date
of “publication” being 18/10/01.
For example; The Australian Industrial Relations Commission in GN 41 published a Notice
numbered 9620601 which contains the wording;
“NB: the prescribed time for lodgement of objections is 28 days.”
With the Notice dated 17 October 2001 but published in Victoria there is only 27 days and likely
invalidated the Notice.
ASSOCIATED DOMINIONS ASSURANCE SOCIETY PTY. LTD. v. BALMFORD (1950)
81 CLR 161
As the authority stated:
The notice actually served did not "specify" such a period: it "specified" a period which
was too short by one day, and the Acts Interpretation Act does not affect this position.
I view, that the Australian Government Solicitors and AEC ought to rectify their conduct before the
Federal Court, as much as possible and to have the dismissal of 7 November 2001 set aside, and the
matter be transferred to the High Court of Australia.
I, for one, couldn’t trust the Federal Court after this caper!
What this makes clear also is that the break up of Australia Post in Australia Post and Telecom
(later Telstra) and the sale therefore is unconstitutional, as I have claimed in this book and previous
published books, Section 69 does not allow the sale of the Department. Hence, Telstra sale is and
remains to be unconstitutional! Those who purportedly purchased shares of Telstra own nothing as
it was unconstitutional to sell any Telstra shares. It must be clear once again it is a LEGAL
FICTION that the High Court of Australia is a GUARDIAN OF THE CONSTITUTION and
who really, other then the super rich, could afford to challenge unconstitutional conduct if the
judges, as I view it, are, so to say, aiding and abetting the politicians to make it extremely difficult if
not impossible for a citizen to pursue their Section 75(v) of the constitutional rights. For this, as I
view it, lacking any properly trained and competent judges at the High Court of Australia we need
badly an OFFICE OF THE GUARDIAN, so finally JUSTICE MAY PREVAIL. The mere fact
that the constitutional issues the High Court of Australia time and again refused to allowed to be
heard and determined upon their MERITS subsequently were upheld in my appeals. To me that
indicates, so to say, that the judges are having egg on their faces. Sure their conduct ensured that
John Howard could continue to be parading as a Prime Minister, regardless how unconstitutional
the election was but as I succeeded in my case to prove I was right, I view, so to say, that the
judges have blood on their hands of the Iraqi people killed and injured as result of Australia’s
unconstitutional invasion by having refused to deal with my applications to pursue a Section 75(v)
Mandamus/Prohibition against the unconstitutional invasion. Perhaps they might have assumed that

issues are being dealt with, regardless that Gummow J argued about it having been about 22 months

http://www.radio.cz/en/article/11324 Judge in 1951 trial to be charged
[23-08-2000] By Olga Szantova
A long-retired judge, 86-year-old Pavel Vitek, is to be charged with murder for a verdict he passed 49
years ago. At the time, eleven people were sentenced to death and executed to serve as a warning to
all who still resisted the communist domination of Czechoslovakia after the coup in 1948. Olga
Szantova has the story.
The trial, in the summer of 1951, was one of the first and one of the biggest in a series of politically motivated
trials in the early fifties. Their aim: to show that the class enemy was sabotaging the otherwise peaceful and
successful construction of a socialist society and that harder measures were needed to protect the working class
from the evils of capitalism. The communists faced serious problems in the countryside, where the more
successful farmers were resisting the founding of cooperatives, and wanted to hold on to their farms. Southern
Moravia, one of the most fertile areas in the country, was a particularly troublesome region and a village in that
area, called Babice, was chosen as the site where the evils of the class enemy were to be demonstrated.
As the communist-led village council was meeting one day, a group of armed terrorists broke in, shooting three
of the council's members dead. A number of villagers were soon arrested and charged with the shooting, among
them the richest local farmer, Jan Plichta. Eleven of them were sentenced to death, including Jan Plichta. The
case was widely publicized and served as an excuse for the harsh measures used in introducing socialism in the
countryside.
One of the judges in the Babice trial was the now 86-year-old Pavel Vitek. Like other judges in other political
trials of the '50s, he was instrumental in preparing the planned result of the investigation. He, like others, was
given precise instructions as to how the trial should be conducted and what the verdict was to be. As a result, 11
innocent people were sentenced to death for the Babice shooting, and judge Pavel Vitek is now being charged
with their murder.
His is to be the first trial of its kind. More than ten years after the fall of communist rule in this country, the legal
system still hasn't found a way of dealing with these cases. A number of times investigations were started but
discontinued before any actual charges could be made. In the Babice case, the minister of justice had to intervene
before the Supreme Court ruled that the case should be brought to trial. It remains to be seen whether it will set a
precedent.
It may be asked, I view, if the judges of the Courts who have acted in the way they did, as like in
the Czech case ought to be held accountable for the death of so many where they may be deemed to
have acted in clear defiance to their judicial obligations to determine matters before the Court upon
their MERITS, rather then, so to say, having railroaded cases.

Reporting on the final anti-terrorism bill

The Howard Anti-Terrorism Bill (No. 2) 2005 (no. 1 being the one rushed through both

17. Despite the strict separation of federal judicial power, it is accepted that non-judicial functions can be
conferred on federal judges as personae designatae. The judge concerned must have consented to the
conferral, and the non -judicial functions must not be incompatible with the designated person's judicial
office.

The persona designata doctrine is a doctrine in Australian constitutional law which states that,
although it is generally impermissible for a federal judge to exercise non-judicial power, it is
permissible for a judge to do so if the power has been conferred on the judge personally, as opposed
to powers having been conferred on the court. The doctrine is considered to be an exception to the
Boilermakers' doctrine of separation of powers, which holds that conferral of non-judicial power on
a Chapter III court (a federal court) is unconstitutional.[1]

[edit] Background
While the Australian system of government is parliamentary, with a "fusion of powers" between the
executive and the legislature, the separation of powers with respect to the judiciary has long been
accepted as an important aspect of the Constitution of Australia.[2] The importance of the principle
is traditionally said to have reached its high point in 1956 with the Boilermakers' case,[2] in which
the High Court of Australia held that non-judicial power could not be conferred on a court
established under Chapter III of the Australian Constitution.[3] However, Australia also has a long
history of judges being appointed to non-judicial positions.[2]

The following extracts may underline that not judges of the High Court of Australia but any federal
court judge could be appointed as "Persona designata", however, as the Framers of the Constitution
warned that care should be taken that no conflict arises between the funtion of a judge to act as a
Persona designata and that of his judicial office. As such, the Court of Disputed Returns, where
judges are acting in the capacity of representing parliamentarians, such as in Sue v Hill could not
make judicial decisions of a Court of law. But, this it precisely purported to do with the Australia
Act 1986 as to seek to validate this. Likewise, the issue of any warrant by a judge in the capacity of
Persona designata ought to be resisted, as it would portray a judge to act in a capacity to enforce or
purportedly enforce a law of the relevant government and subsequently this judge may be faced
having to hear the case in the first instance or upon appeal as to the validity of the warrant issued.
This the Framers of the Constitution debated being a problem where a judge, for example, was
exercising the temporary position of a governor, who might have given royal assent to legislation
and then subsequently as judge of the Court having to give judgment of the validity of the very
legislation that this judge in the capacity of (temporary) Governor had enacted. While Daryl
Williams Attorney-General for Australia 1996 – 2003 in his document “Judicial Power and Good
Government” stated; “7. Only courts mentioned in section 71 of the Constitution may exercise that
power. Federal courts cannot, generally speaking, undertake non-judicial functions.” This clearly is
not supported by what the Framers of the Constitution themselves stated in regard of judges of any
federal court to act in the capacity of Persona designata such as on behalf of the Parliament as a
Court of Disputed Returns. HANSARD records the following Constitutional Convention 22 April
1897 [page 1150]
Mr. BARTON: I have to propose a new clause to follow clause 48 in this form:
Until the Parliament otherwise provides all questions of disputed elections arising in the Senate or House of
Representatives shall be determined by a Court exercising federal jurisdiction.
We have not said "the High Court" here, because there is power in the Constitution to invest any court with
federal jurisdiction, so that this clause will work in this convenient way that the Court of a State invested with
federal jurisdiction may determine such a matter in any States
The moment we accept that the High Court of Australia sitting as judges on behalf of the
Parliament, acting as personae designatae, in Sue v Hill could use and exercise judicial powers of a
Court of law we have transgressed the separation of judicial and legislative powers because the
judges themselves have become the evil-doers to give the Parliament their judicial powers. See also
for a more comprehensive set out “Chapter 003 LEGAL FICTION - persona designata” of the
book by Author Mr. G. H. Schorel-Hlavka (constitutionalist) “INSPECTOR-RIKATI® on IR
WorkChoices legislation”. It is my view that while the Framers of the Constitution themselves
clearly intended that not just the judges of the High Court of Australia but the Court itself, and any
Court exercising federal jurisdiction would be acting in capacity of “persona designata”, and for
this any Federal Court judge also, the problem is that, as I view it, judges are using their decisions
as being a judgment of the High Court of Australia, such as in Sue v Hill, and other cases like Sykes
v Cleary, where as they cannot be deemed let alone be relied upon as being decisions of a Court of
law. In my view the Court of Disputed Returns must not exercise any judicial powers as to do so
would interfere with both their position as “persona designata” and position as a judical officer, as it
would obliterate the seperation of legislative, executive and judicial powers.
The idea that some non-judicial functions can be conferred on judges in their personal capacity had
been present in Australian law for some time; some trace it to cases such as Medical Board of
Victoria v Meyer[4] in 1937,[1] while others regard the doctrine as settled law since at least 1906,[2]
and the case of Holmes v Angwin.[5]

[edit] Development of the doctrine
The first clear expression of the doctrine in the post-Boilermakers context was in the 1979 Federal
Court of Australia case of Drake v Minister for Immigration & Ethnic Affairs, which concerned a
challenge to the appointment of Justice John Davies, of the Federal Court, to the position of Deputy
President of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. In their joint judgment, Chief Justice Bowen and
Justice Deane said:
"There is nothing in the Constitution which precludes a justice [of a Chapter III court] from, in his personal
capacity, being appointed to an office involving the performance of administrative or executive functions
including functions which are quasi-judicial in their nature. Such an appointment does not involve any
impermissible attempt to confer upon a Chapter III court functions which are antithetical to the exercise of
[6]
judicial power. Indeed, it does not involve the conferring of any functions at all on such a court."
The doctrine was first clearly applied by the High Court of Australia in the 1985 case of Hilton v
Wells, which involved a challenge to the constitutional validity of certain telecommunications
legislation which permitted telephone tapping by way of a warrant, which had to be issued by "a
judge". [1] The word "judge" in that piece of legislation was defined to mean a judge of the Federal
Court or of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory, or, in certain circumstances, a
judge of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory or any of the State Supreme Courts.[1] In their
majority judgment, Chief Justice Gibbs and Justices Wilson and Dawson acknowledged the
difficulty of determining whether a function has been conferred on a court or on a judge of that
court, saying that:
"It is a question which involves fine distinctions, which some may regard as unsatisfactory... the question is one
of construction. Where the power is conferred on a court, there will ordinarily be a strong presumption that the
court as such is intended. Where the power is conferred on a judge, rather than on a court, it will be a question
whether the distinction was deliberate, and whether the reference to "judge" rather than to "court" indicates that
the power was intended to be invested in the judge as an individual who, because he is a judge, possesses the
[7]
necessary qualifications to exercise it."
The Justices continued, and considered the significance of the nature of the function being
conferred to the question of whether the function is to be exercised by the judge in their capacity as
a judge, or in their capacity as a regular person
"If the power is judicial, it is likely that it is intended to be exercisable by the judge by virtue of that character; if
it is purely administrative, and not incidental to the exercise of judicial power, it is likely that it is intended to be
[7]
exercised by the judge as a designated person."
The High Court rejected the challenge to the constitutional validity of the legislation in a three to
two decision.[1]
[edit] Limits
Two broad limits to the doctrine have been identified, which essentially act as preconditions to the
conferral of a non-judicial function:
1. the judge must agree to the conferral of the function, and
2. the function must not be incompatible with the judge's judicial functions
[edit] Incompatibility
The issue of incompatibility was expounded in the 1995 case of Grollo v Palmer, which concerned
new provisions in the same telecommunications legislation that had been considered in Hilton v
Wells. Following the decision in Hilton, the legislation had been amended to make it more explicit
that the function of granting warrants was being conferred on judges in their personal capacity, and
had made the judge's consent an eligibility requirement, but the changes had also introduced
protections and immunities for judge's exercising the function, like those afforded to Justices of the
High Court. [1] The court unanimously agreed that the function was being conferred on the judges as

personae designatae, but the question was whether the function was incompatible with their judicial
office.[1]
In a joint majority judgment, Chief Justice Brennan and Justices Deane, Dawson and Toohey,
discussed what situations might enliven the incompatibility condition:
"Incompatibility might consist in so permanent and complete a commitment to the performance of non-judicial
functions by a judge that the further performance of substantial judicial functions by that judge is not practicable.
It might consist in the performance of non-judicial functions of such a nature that the capacity of the judge to
perform his or her judicial functions with integrity is impaired. Or it might consist in the performance of non-
judicial functions of such a nature that public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary as an institution or in the
capacity of the individual judge to perform his or her judicial functions with integrity is diminished." [8]
The majority held that, although the function of issuing warrants was closely connected with the
purely executive process of law enforcement, it did not amount to judicial participation in a criminal
investigation (which would be incompatible) and that the participation of impartial, independent
judicial officers in the process would actually reinforce public confidence in the judiciary.[8] That is,
the majority recognised that the incompatibility exception existed, but found that it did not apply in
this situation.[1]
In 1996, the High Court applied the incompatibility condition in the case of Wilson v Minister for
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, which concerned the appointment of Justice Jane
Mathews of the Federal Court to prepare an Indigenous heritage report in relation to the Hindmarsh
Island bridge development. The court held that legislation authorising the appointment was invalid,
because the functions conferred, which included forming opinions and giving advice about areas
which should be protected under heritage legislation, were incompatible with judicial office. [1]

Judges of the High Court of Australia, or for that matter any judge of a federal court or a Court
invested with federal jurisdiction, in my view, would compromise their judicial position if they lend
themselves as to issue warrants or conduct other functions on behalf of the Government which cast
doubt as to their judicial independence. As I view it the moment there is any doubt whatsoever as to
the judicial independence then the persona designata should be rejected. Not to do so may place the
Court in disrepute. After all when a judge of a Court issue a warrant as persona designata and not
as a judicial officer the danger is that it might be interpreted/understood by others that it was a
judicial decision because it was issued by a judge of the Court. Government may seek to manipulate
the position of a judge in such manner but the judges themselves should not allow themselves, so to

say, be drawn into the gutter by, as I view them to be, such gutter tactics. It ought to be clear that
the framers of the Constitution did not specifically refer to “judges” but to “court” and as such held
that the High Court of Australia could sit as a federal court exercising “persona designata” but
obviously it could not as such then decide matters it ordinary would as a Court of law, as to do so
would cause a class of the separation of powers. But, that appears to be happening in many
decisions! As such, I view, it is a LEGAL FICTION that the courts are independent tribunals.
WHICH IS THE REAL CONSTITUTION?
With the validity of the Westminster Act 1931, British National Act 1948, Australia Citizenship
Act 1948, Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Request and Consent) Act 1954 (Cth), Cocos Islands Act, 1955
(UK), Christmas Island (Request and Consent) Act 1957(Cth), Christmas Island Act, 1958 (UK),
Australia (Request and Consent) Act 1985, the Australia Act 1986 (UK), and the Australia Act
1986 (Cth) they all appear to be ULTRA VIRES for so far they conflict with the Constitution as
contained in the Commonwealth of Australia Act 1900 (UK) as amended by successful
amendments. What those Acts have sought to do was to circumvent the constitutional constrains in
the Constitution of 1900 to somehow transfer the ownership of the Constitution from the People
(their “new Magna Charta” - Hansard 17-3-1898) to the Federal Parliament
I will therefore now set out matters with the reproduction of material of Nick Hobson, as well as
myself, as shown below. Albeit I do not agree with the writers assertion that either or both the
Westminster Act 1931 or the Australia Act 1986 have any legal validity towards the
Commonwealth of Australia for so far it conflicts with the principles embedded in the Constitution
of 1900. The following 04, 05, 06 and 07 Chapters will deal with “Is our Constitution safe”, “The
Constitution a PERPETUAL LEASE”, “The great Deception” and “Westminster Act ULTRA
VIRES.” A “LEGAL FICTION” is what is considered to be legally applicable even so in reality it
is not, for whatever reason. The CD version of this book has copies of the extensive FOI request
and so documents obtained, as well as the fraudulent dates shown. Including how John Howard,
without having prerogative powers, purportedly appointed the Governor-General! Then, one
may and should ask, what is constitutionally valid at all?
* Are you aware I asked just one question and you respond with about 30-page answer! And it
wasn’t even fully about what is ULTRA VIRES, as I understood this Chapter was going to be
about!
**#** Well it was regarding many issues but there is more, why not then go to the Chapter 008, but
best is first to read the next few Chapters first, and lest not forget to consider this utter and sheer
nonsense, as Tony Pitt pointed out (See Chapter 058);
QUOTE Chapter 058; Gummo&McHugh.doc
McHUGH J: ........ but Parliament ... can, in effect do what it likes. As it is said, some
authorities could legislate to have every blue-eyed baby killed if it wanted to. ...
Tony Pitt’s response;
This is not true. No federal or state parliament in Australia has ANY LEGISLATIVE
POWER AT ALL. They can’t legislate to even set a road speed let alone legislate to put
anyone to death. Our system of law evolved from the dim past when kings were mad dictators
and the politicians had desires for more mad power than that held by kings. Our politicians
can write what they like. If the House of Representatives writes legislation and passes the
legislation unanimously, and passes that legislation to the Senate which also passes the
legislation unanimously, that legislation is no more powerful than a second-hand bus ticket.
All legislation requires ROYAL ASSENT before it can be of any effect.
END QUOTE Chapter 058; Gummo&McHugh.doc
I ask are judges brain dead to come up with such utter and sheer nonsense? What about “CIVIL
RIGHTS”?
