Australia has relied on Common Law and Westminster law to protect our freedoms.
In today’s political party corporate dictatorship we have no freedoms except those granted to us by the government. These “freedoms” can be taken away by an Act of Parliament, such as Act 18c.
Most Australians are unaware that our rights and freedoms are still protected by Common Law, the Magna Carta, and the English Bill of Rights.
The political parties have worked hard to make us believe that we now have no rights. Their police (corporate law enforcers) can stop you anywhere, any time to question you — despite two High Court Rulings and a Magistrate’s ruling:
The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901, Section 109 states… 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.
Common Law
and the Commonwealth of Australia Act 1901 Constitution guarantee the right of
citizens to go about their lawful business unhindered by the police or anyone else as long as you are not
suspected of committing a crime. Common Law is the highest law in the land and
therefore all State laws must be consistent with Common Law.
The State Acts that the police rely on to justify stopping drivers for a Random Breath Test (RBT) are inconsistent with the law of the Commonwealth and Common law, and that makes them invalid.
Being pulled over for a Random Breath Test does not constitute a crime. Therefore, the police have no right to pull you over without due cause, or to make any demands on a citizen, as confirmed in these court decisions. We repeat: The following judgments make it very clear that the police do not have the power or authority to stop you for any reason unless they suspect you have committed a crime.
- Regina v Banner (1970) VR 240 at p 249 – the Full Bench of the Northern Territory Supreme Court
In this judgement, the NT Supreme Court handed down a ruling that, “(Police officers) have no power whatever to arrest or detain a citizen for the purpose of questioning him or of facilitating their investigations. It matters not at all whether the questioning or the investigation is for the purpose of enabling them to ascertain whether he is the person guilty of a crime known to have been committed or is for the purpose of enabling them to discover whether a crime has or has not been committed. If the police do so act in purported exercise of such a power, their conduct is not only destructive of civil liberties but it is unlawful.” - Andrew Hamilton Vs Director of Public Prosecutions – Justice Stephen Kaye – Melbourne Supreme Court ruling – 25 November 2011
“It is an ancient principle of the Common Law that a person not under arrest has no obligation to stop for police or answer their questions. And there is no statute that removes that right. The conferring of such a power on a police officer would be a substantial detraction from the fundamental freedoms which have been guaranteed to the citizen by the Common Law for centuries.” - Magistrate Duncan Reynolds – Melbourne – July 2013
“There is no common law power vested in police giving them the unfettered right to stop or detain a person and seek identification details. Nor, is s.59 of the (Road Safety) Act a statutory source of such power.”
NOTE: None of the above precedents have been overturned on appeal or in the High Court. They still stand today and you can point out to the police that they are acting unlawfully if they continue to detain you without due cause to believe you have committed a crime.
Why do the political parties ignore these ruling? How do they continue to deny us our rights?
The answer is simple. We, the People of the Commonwealth have not stood up for them. We got lazy, thinking we had elected good people to represent us in what we thought was our Parliament. Little did we realize that the political parties were working in the shadows to change laws without lawful authority. The Australia Act, the Reprints Act, 18c, the Anti-Terrorism Act and many more were all designed to deny us our human rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by centuries of Common Law.
There is only one way we can take back our rights. We have to fight for them, using the same weapons the political parties have used against us: THE LAW!
We propose enshrining the following in the Constitution, subject to vote by referendum. Enshrining these rights into the Constitution removes them from tampering by the political parties. Only We, the People of the Commonwealth, have the right under Section 128 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 to amend the Constitution voting in a referendum. Enshrining them in the constitution is the only way to protect ourselves from the criminal, traitorous political parties and their bankster bosses.
The following are proposals. We may amend them at any time as we get advice and recommendations from the People of the Commonwealth. Then we will put them to a referendum vote.
