CIR

Under our current Constitution, Part V – Powers of the Parliament, Section 51 (xii), it states that “The Parliament shall, subject to the Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to: (xii) currency, coinage, and legal tender; In 1927 the international banks forced the privatization of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia that was previously owned by the people of Australia. For a full account of how we lost the Commonwealth Bank, read The History of the Commonwealth Bank. As a result, the international bankers forced the government to introduce […]

Any laws we make about drugs should recognize the different kinds of drugs, their uses and abuses. We can classify drugs into three categories: Pharmaceutical drugs Recreational drugs Addictive drugs We believe the law must have a clear policy that recognizes the different types of drugs and how they can be used. We believe that the responsibility for drug use is on the person using the drug. Therefore, we should have the right to choose which drugs we wish to put into our bodies within carefully defined limits. The government has no right dictating what a person does with their […]

Freedom of the press appears to be under attack today wherever and whenever people are brave enough to express their unbiased opinions, or to expose corruption and crime. Often, the muzzling is ordered at the highest levels, particularly when the scandals appear to involve our political leaders. The Media is “The Fourth Estate” and should be one of the strongest pillars of our civilization. Our Constitution should recognize the important role the Media plays in shaping the values of our society and informing the public. Commercial Mass Media outlets are also recognized as an important “check and balance” in our […]

Section 100 of The Constitution states: “The Commonwealth shall not, by any law or regulation of trade or commerce, abridge the right of a state or of the residents therein to the reasonable use of the waters of rivers for conservation or irrigation”. Water is life. Obviously, control of water is control of life and society. Therefore, water should be managed by the people for the people.We believe water is so important to the future and security of our country that it should have its own Federal Government portfolio to coordinate water management policies. Australia must use its water resources […]

Australia has unlimited energy available from the sun, wind, shale oil, coal, gas, and other sources. We have scientists and inventors who are capable of developing new and exciting technologies to exploit these energy sources. While Australia is dependent on overseas oil sources we will never be able to become an independent sovereign nation. We need to re-think our energy strategies, and we need to do it now. Oil is going to run out one day. By then, we need to have viable alternatives. Developing renewable and new energy uses is a job for the scientists and inventors. Ensuring they […]

Land is the foundation of any nation. We must protect our land rights as fiercely as we protect our own family Despite this, the politicians have sold vast tracts of Australian land to overseas interests. They have even leased Australian military facilities to overseas interests without the approval of the people voting in a referendum. This is nothing less than treason. We will initiate an investigation into which politicians have sold out our birthright to foreign interests. Those found guilty should be put on trial for treason and if found guilty they should be given the ultimate penalty for treason. […]

Due to socialist social engineering Australian society has become fractured and divided, with many different groups vying for legal and social recognition. We believe this has divided Australia, creating divisions and inequalities under the law. Islam is a divisive ideology working to undermine our Constitution and impose sharia law. In fact, practising Islamic sharia law in Australia is illegal under our Constitution and laws. In 1982 the subject of Religion in Australia was investigated by the Supreme Court in Victoria over a case where Scientology wanted tax exemptions. In reviewing this case the judges made some crucial decisions about religion […]

RETURNED VETERANS AND SERVING DEFENCE PERSONNEL We propose that a National Council of organisations representing ex-service and serving defence personnel be established. This Council should meet at least four times per year to supply advice and opinion to Defence and Veterans ministers and their departmental chiefs. Our objectives are: The re-assessment of what determines war service to be addressed by the newly appointed council and any findings adopted by Parliament. The re-definition of clinical determination as to any service caused disabilities or trauma, including a health study into each veteran’s health needs and the effect on their family. Enhancement of […]

For too long Australian citizens have endured the flawed Socialist concept of mollycoddling criminals. Once a person is convicted of a crime they should be subject to punishment and rehabilitation commensurate with the crime.     We recognize that changing our legal system is something that should only be undertaken with the utmost care. The following policies are designed in such a way that they will enhance our Common Law/ Therefore, we have presented these ideas for your consideration in the hope that they will inspire you and future generations to seek a better system of justice. These policies should […]

We will initiate a referendum to bring in manufacturing policies designed to restore our capability to produce our own consumer goods, revitalize our manufacturing sector, and encourage startup companies by providing low interest loans. Only those items Australia cannot manufacture or cannot manufacture in required quantities shall be imported. Imported items that compete with Australian manufactured items shall be subject to import tariffs to ensure competitive pricing. Repairability and recycling shall be an important characteristic of the manufacturing process. The Central Bank of the Australian Commonwealth (CBAC) shall be a source of seed finance for research and development and for […]

Australian farmers are among the best in the world. However, over the last thirty years or so government policies have restricted and undermined their ability to survive. We propose a referendum on reforming our Primary Industry laws to encourage new growth, adoption of improved farming techniques, and ensuring sufficient funding is available whenever needed without the fear of having their farms taken over by private banks. The new trade legislation we will propose will tear up UN-sponsored international trade agreements and treaties that unfairly impact on Australia’s ability to be self-sufficient. We see no reason to support overseas farmers, or […]

Australia must be able to trade on an equal basis with all nations . Currently, international trade is facilitated by having one dominant currency – the US Dollar. This system has been increasingly abused by the USA and a complete financial collapse has been predicted. This would put Australia in a very precarious financial position. What is needed now to facilitate international trade is a non-profit bank (see Monetary Policy) for international settlements or clearing house with the power to impose sanctions on nations that allow wide fluctuations (in either deficit or surplus) to their balance of payments. In other […]

Australia needs a strong national defence In a Nutshell: Many Australians are, or have been, responsible firearm owners and they object to being discriminated against as politically incorrect pariahs because of a couple of maniacs who went on a rampage with a gun. We see no valid reason for a government to disarm citizens using this flimsy excuse as a pretext. Therefore, a Common Law government operating under the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 will change the laws to give all Australians the right to own, trade, and use firearms, subject only to some common sense rules. Responsible gun […]

Too great a proportion of Australia’s tax is now bled from low and middle income earners, seniors and small businesses. Originally, we considered abolishing all taxes to be replaced by a single bank transaction tax that would fairly tax everyone, whether they be private individual or corporation. On the surface, this sounded like a great idea. However, we have been giving this a lot of thought and discussing the taxation question with various constitutional experts, and we believe that the People of the Commonwealth are not required to pay any personal taxes. Only companies should be subject to taxation. Our […]

The current political party system is not working. Politicians do not represent the people. Instead, they carry out party policy without referring to the voters who elected them. This has resulted in a dictatorial-style system of government that denies We the People a voice in our own government. Our political institutions derive their power from the people. We the People are the government, but we have forgotten this because the political parties have fed us lies for so long. This is not just rhetoric. It is enshrined in our Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900-1. The first words of the […]

Our aim is to put the power into the hands of the people to determine the course our government must take. To do that, the people must have an easy and fast way to make their will known to our elected representatives. We can achieve this through electronic voting in referendums and plebiscites. Security With the growth of the Blockchain we are developing an electronic voting system to work on the blockchain that will protect voters from electoral fraud and scammers. This voting system will be available on the internet to all mobile and desktop users. The system will detect […]

Amendments: Since writing the original proposal in 2015 technological advancements and new information and ideas mean that we have revised the form of the Citizens Initiated Referendums (CIR) we are working to implement for Australia. In particular, the advent of the Blockchain means that we can combine a digital voting App with CIR so that we can have immediately quantifiable results of any election. Therefore, a digital voting App makes it easy for the people to have a say in both amending the Constitution and voting on important legislation proposed in Parliament that will affect our lives. Advance Australia is […]

The political system is broken It’s time for all Australians to unite as one to turn things around. The old 2-Party Preferred system has failed. The political parties have demonstrated their lack of plans, their lack of skills, and their inability to lead. They are also all sitting in our Parliament under false pretenses: They have no mandate to govern. Read Sections 7 and 24 of our Commonwealth of Australia Consitution Act 1901 At the moment, we are forced illegally to vote in each election, and then we must sit back as the politicians do whatever their political bosses tell […]
