ISSUE: 20170815 - Re 78B NOTICE OF CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER Re CITIZENSHIP remained unchallenged
in 2 successful appeals, etc & the constitution
As a CONSTITUTIONALIST my concern is the true meaning and application of the constitution.
Senator George Brandis, Attorney-General 15-8-2017
senator.brandis@aph.gov.au AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Sir, I understand that the commonwealth will be and./or already has instituted legal proceedings before the High Court of Australia in the matter of Mr Barnaby Joyce as to his validity to be a Member of Parliament. I request that the Commonwealth will support me to become an intervener in the matter and it pays all travel, overnight and court and other cost for me to do so. As a senior citizen on an age pension it is obviously beyond my financial capacity to fund such cost, neither should I have to either! Hansard 20-4-1897 Constitution Convention Debates Mr. HIGGINS: QUOTE I think it is advisable that private people should not be put to the expense of having important questions of constitutional law decided out of their own pockets. END QUOTE I also earlier today wrote to Senator McKims office that I view the senate ought to hold an urgent Senate Committee hearing so it can deal with the citizenship issue. Again due my limited financial ability, such sitting can be held in Melbourne or otherwise the committee provides for all my associated cost to be paid to appear before it in Canberra. On 4 December 2002 the Magistrates Court of Victoria at Heidelberg, with consent of the Commonwealth legal representatives directed that the section 78B of the judiciary Act 1903 NOTICE OF CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS was to be placed before the High court of Australia for the court to determine this matter. However the prosecutor failed to do so. On 4 August 2005 the magistrates Court of Victoria At Heidelberg upheld my submission that the commonwealth couldnt rely upon averment in that Commonwealth law cannot interfere with State Courts legal procedures. Counsel for the Commonwealth unsuccessfully objected to this but the magistrates court of Victoria At Heidelberg directed that the Commonwealth was to file and serve all documents it sought to rely upon in regard of charges relation to the 2001 and 2004 federal elections FAILING TO VOTE. Counsel then submitted that this would be truckloads of documents upon which the magistrate made clear that this was a matter between the parties. Subsequently the matter came before another magistrate on 16 and 17 November 2005 which magistrate ignored rights I had obtained and convicted me on both charges. I then lodged appeals in the County Court of Victoria, Case numbers T01567737 & Q10897630 which also relied upon the above mentioned Form 68 NOTICE OF CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS. The court set aside both convictions and noted that the Commonwealth didnt present any evidence. This underlining that averment couldnt have been relied upon by the Commonwealth. No appeals were lodged by the Commonwealth against those orders. As such, I am entitled to the benefits of the successful appeals. The Commonwealth had the opportunity to challenge my written submissions (ADDRESS TO THE COURT) which extensively did also set out the issue of citizenship. As such there can be no question about it that the Commonwealth didnt seek to challenge this issue when it had the opportunity to do so.

INSPECTOR-RIKATI about the BLACK HOLE in the CONSTITUTION-DVD A 1st edition limited special numbered book on Data DVD ISBN 978-0-9803712-6-0 Email: admin@inspector-rikati.com. For further details see also my blog at Http://www.scrib.com/InspectorRikati It cannot in my view, now belatedly seek the High Court of Australia to somehow deal with the matters and so undermine me from the benefits of the court decisions I had. In my view that numerous problems that have arisen since 19 July 2006 could had been avoided had the Commonwealth having lost both appeals had bothered, as I often recommended, to consider what I had set out. In my view Mr Barnaby Joyce (and many others) would never have faced the current dilemma had the Commonwealth cooperated with me in addressing matters, and likely most if not all other persons whos rights to sit in the federal parliament were placed in question. My book published on 30 September 2003 did set out matters comprehensively also. In fact it also did then set out why Pauline Hanson of One Nation was wrongly convicted, and the Queensland Criminal court of appeal precisely relied upon this issue to overturn the convictions subsequently in November 2003. INSPECTOR-RIKATI on CITIZENSHIP A book on CD about Australians unduly harmed. (ISBN 0-9580569-6-X prior to 1-1-2007) ISBN 978-0-9580569-6- In my view it is unfair to those persons who have been successful in elections to be then denied remaining to be a Member of Parliament because of the way so to say the Commonwealth of Australia made an utter mess of the entire issue. I was born in the Netherlands and migrated to Australia in 1971 and decided to naturalize in 1994. I since then stood for federal elections also. It was only this year that I became suspicious that I might still hold Dutch nationality and in March began to request the Dutch Government about this. We are now in August and all I have so far been getting is directions to different departments and different websites but without confirmation/denial of any Dutch nationality. Surely this is totally ridiculous and a better system should be in place. At the Framers of the Constitution stated: Hansard 17-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates QUOTE Sir EDWARD BRADDON.- When we consider how vast the importance is that every word of the Constitution should be correct, that every clause should fit into every other clause; when we consider the great amount of time, trouble, and expense it would take to make any alteration, and that, if we have not made our intentions clear, we shall undoubtedly have laid the foundation of lawsuits of a most extensive nature, which will harass the people of United Australia and create dissatisfaction with our work, it must be evident that too much care has not been exercised. END QUOTE . Hansard 8-2-1898 Constitution Convention Debates QUOTE Mr. OCONNOR (New South Wales).-The honorable and learned member (Mr. Isaacs) is I think correct in the history of this clause that he has given, and this is [start page 672] one of those instances which should make us very careful of following too slavishly the provisions of the United States Constitution, or any other Constitution. No doubt in putting together the draft of this Bill, those who were responsible for doing so used the material they found in every Constitution before it, and probably they felt that they would be incurring a great deal of responsibility in leaving out provisions which might be in the least degree applicable. But it is for us to consider, looking at the history and reasons for these provisions in the Constitution of the United States, whether they are in any way applicable; and I quite agree with my honorable and learned friend (Mr. Carruthers) that we should be very careful of every word that we put in this Constitution, and that we should have no word in it which we do not see some reason for. Because there can be no question that in time to come, when this Constitution has to be interpreted, every word will be weighed and an interpretation given to it; and by the use now of what I may describe as idle words which we have no use for, we may be giving a direction to the Constitution which none of us now contemplate. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to see that there is some reason for every clause and every word that goes into this Constitution. END QUOTE And Hansard 3-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates QUOTE Sir JOHN FORREST.-What is a citizen? A British subject? Mr. WISE.-I presume so. Sir JOHN FORREST.-They could not take away the rights of British subjects. Mr. WISE.-I do not think so. I beg to move- That the words "each state" be omitted, with the view of inserting the words "the Commonwealth." p2 15-8-2017 G. H. Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B.

For further details see also my blog at Http://www.scrib.com/InspectorRikati I apprehend the Commonwealth must have complete power to grant or refuse citizenship to any citizen within its borders. I think my answer to Sir John Forrest was given a little too hastily when I said that every citizen of the British Empire must be a citizen of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth will have power to determine who is a citizen. I do not think Dr. Quick's amendment is necessary. If we do not put in a definition of citizenship every state will have inherent power to decide who is a citizen. That was the decision of the Privy Council in Ah Toy's case END QUOTE And HANSARD 2-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates QUOTE Mr. BARTON.-I did not say that. I say that our real status is as subjects, and that we are all alike subjects of the British Crown. END QUOTE And Hansard 5-3-1891 Constitution convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National Australasian Convention) Mr. DEAKIN: QUOTE They have believed that they enjoyed freedom [start page 86] under their present constitution second to none in the world. When the question of a second chamber comes to be considered, they will assuredly not be satisfied to possess less freedom. More than this. In framing a federal constitution, we should set out with the explicit claim to possess and exercise all the rights and privileges of citizens of the British empire to the same extent that they are possessed and exercised by our fellow-countrymen in Great Britain itself. Australia is entitled to absolute enfranchisement. In our union we attain political manhood and the stature of a full-grown democracy. END QUOTE And Hansard 2-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates QUOTE Dr. QUICK.-If we are to have a citizenship of the Commonwealth higher, more comprehensive, and nobler than that of the states, I would ask why is it not implanted in the Constitution? Mr. Barton was not present when I made my remarks in proposing the clause. I then-anticipated the point he has raised as to the position we occupy as subjects of the British Empire. I took occasion to indicate that in creating a federal citizenship, and in defining the qualifications of that federal citizenship, we were not in any way interfering with our position as subjects of the British Empire. It would be beyond the scope of the Constitution to do that. We might be citizens of a city, citizens of a colony, or citizens of a Commonwealth, but we would still be, subjects of the Queen. I see therefore nothing unconstitutional, nothing contrary to our instincts as British subjects, in proposing to place power in this Constitution to enable the Federal Parliament to deal with the question of federal citizenship. END QUOTE The High Court of Australia judicial powers doesnt include to amend or implied amend the constitution! As such, any purported citizenship Act purporting to be a nationality is unconstitutional. Neither exist there anything like a Commonwealth of Australia as a country this as it is a POLITICAL UNION (Similar like the European Union).As the Framers of the Constitution made clear DUAL CITIZENSHIP is what every State citizen holds. Hansard 2-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates QUOTE Mr. SYMON.-Very likely not. What I want to know is, if there is anybody who will come under the operation of the law, so as to be a citizen of the Commonwealth, who would not also be entitled to be a citizen of the state? There ought to be no opportunity for such discrimination as would allow a section of a state to remain outside the pale of the Commonwealth, except with regard to legislation as to aliens. Dual citizenship exists, but it is not dual citizenship of persons, it is dual citizenship in each person. There may be two men-Jones and Smith-in one state, both of whom are citizens of the state, but one only is a citizen of the Commonwealth. That would not be the dual citizenship meant. What is meant is a dual citizenship in Mr. Trenwith and myself. That is to say, I am a citizen of the state and I am also a citizen of the Commonwealth; that is the dual citizenship. That does not affect the operation of this clause at all. But if we introduce this clause, it is open to the whole of the powerful criticism of Mr. O'Connor and those who say that it is putting on the face of the Constitution an unnecessary provision, and one which we do not expect will be exercised adversely or improperly, and, therefore, it is much better to be left out. Let us, in dealing with this question, be as careful as we possibly, can that we do not qualify the citizenship of this Commonwealth in any way or exclude anybody [start page 1764] from it, and let us do that with precision and clearness. As a citizen of a state I claim the right to be a citizen of the Commonwealth. I do not want to place in the hands of the Commonwealth Parliament, however much I may be prepared to trust it, the right of depriving me of citizenship. I put this only as an argument, because no one would anticipate such a thing, but the Commonwealth Parliament might say that nobody possessed of less than 1,000 a year should be a citizen of the Federation. You are putting that power in the hands of Parliament. Mr. HIGGINS.-Why not? p3 15-8-2017 G. H. Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B. INSPECTOR-RIKATI about the BLACK HOLE in the CONSTITUTION-DVD A 1st edition limited special numbered book on Data DVD ISBN 978-0-9803712-6-0 Email: admin@inspector-rikati.com. For further details see also my blog at Http://www.scrib.com/InspectorRikati Mr. SYMON.-I would not put such a power in the hands of any Parliament. We must rest this Constitution on a foundation that we understand, and we mean that every citizen of a state shall be a citizen of the Commonwealth, and that the Commonwealth shall have no right to withdraw, qualify, or restrict those rights of citizenship, except with regard to one particular set of people who are subject to disabilities, as aliens, and so on. END QUOTE And Hansard 2-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates Mr. BARTON. QUOTE If we are going to give the Federal Parliament power to legislate as it pleases with regard to Commonwealth citizenship, not having defined it, we may be enabling the Parliament to pass legislation that would really defeat all the principles inserted elsewhere in the Constitution, and, in fact, to play ducks and drakes with it. That is not what is meant by the term "Trust the Federal Parliament." END QUOTE As such the term citizenship (44 Disqualification Any person who: (i) is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power; or) relates to a person who actually resides in a foreign jurisdiction. In this case I understand for example that Mr Barnaby Joyce never did so. As for any is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power one cannot be legally so if one is unaware of this and never pursued the benefits otherwise entitled upon. If Mr Barnaby Joyce had commenced to register interest, such as joining in New Zealand elections then he could have been deemed to have acknowledged his so called New Zealand citizenship, but not where he was unaware of it. As the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) defines New Zealand as a State then regardless if New Zealand never actually joined it nevertheless remains to be a State within the framework of the Commonwealth of Australia and entitled to join if it desired to do so at any stage. Also, constitutionally Australians are and remain to be British Subjects as no amendment was made neither can any s128 referendum achieve this to alter this status. Hansard 6-4-1897 Constitution convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the National Australasian Convention) Mr. DEAKIN: QUOTE In the first instance, the power of the Crown itself is nowhere defined, and cannot be defined under this constitution. END QUOTE As such neither was the High Court of Australia correct in Sue v Hill as it was beyond its jurisdictional powers to declare that by effluxion of time the Commonwealth of Australia became an independent nation and had a Queen of Australia. As if in effluxion of time tenants will become the landlords of the properties they reside in! I can assure you there is a lot more to it all but for starters this may just give you the understanding that Australian nationality cannot exist in itself because the Commonwealth of Australia is a pure POLITICAL UNION and not some country. The irony is that I without formal education in the English language and it neither being my native language using my self-professed Crummy-English somehow can understand and comprehend the true meaning and application of the constitution better then all those politicians and judges seem to do. I look forwards to the Commonwealth providing legal assistance to me to prepare documentation for the litigation, albeit I would represent myself as being a CONSTITUTIONALIST and (retired) Professional Advocate I rather rely upon my own skills to present matters to a court as I have so often done in the past very successfully. In my view any lawyer/judge who refers to Australian citizenship as being a nationality should hand in his/her practice certificate and/or resign from the bench. As I comprehensively defeated the Commonwealth with its high paid barristers in court I view the Commonwealth should stop fooling about and finally sort out the mess it created and ensure that it works with me, not against me, to protect others from befalling harm that could have been avoided. The deportation of British subjects might also be unconstitutional in various ways, but that is an issue I will not go into now.
