I understand from various media reports including that of your own statements that
you claimed that you had a mandate in winning the 2016 election. I understand that after the
election you as leader of the Liberal Party engaged in an agreement with the National Party to
combine the parties for governing.
I understand from reports such as that of analyst Mark Kenny (page 4 The Age newspaper under
the heading Joyces secrecy rings alarm bells) that an agreement was made between yourself
and Mr Joyce, leader of the National Party.
I now request you to provide me with a copy of this agreement. In the event that you
refused to provide me a copy of this agreement voluntarily then I request within the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOI Act) to provide me the item and as a
senior citizen and holding a pension card 301-602-799V I request all and any charges
ordinary being applicable to an FOI request to be waived, this also as this is a matter of
public interest.

Although the federal election date of July 2 was only officially confirmed on the weekend, candidates have been on the
campaign trail in central Victoria for weeks.
The Coalition comfortably holds the seat of Murray but the retirement of Sharman Stone has triggered a contest between
the Liberals and Nationals for the right to succeed her.
Many observers have installed the Nationals' Damian Drum as the favourite but Liberal candidate Duncan McGauchie
also enjoys a healthy local profile.
Labor's focus will be on its marginal electorates of Bendigo and McEwen, which it will need to retain if it wants to form
the next government.
The seats of Mallee and Wannon look likely to stay safely in the Coalition's hands.

It must therefore be clear that the Liberal Party lost the election in the seat of Murray to the
Nationals.
Therefore it cannot be claimed that after losing the election of the seat of Murray then somehow
nevertheless the Liberal Party won and has a MANDATE.
At most the Liberal party can claim that by agreement AFTER the election was held the
Coalition has the majority of seats in the House of Representatives.

The problem with this reporting is that it refers to the Coalition even so this technically
couldnt exist as at the time no agreement was in force as such considering the agreement that
had been in force was substituted by a new agreement after the election.
And the term Coalition is misleading in that it didnt just involve the Liberals and the
Nationals but also the Liberal/National Coalition in certain seats.

Mr Katter this afternoon declared his support for the government after amicable talks with Mr Turnbull.
10
But the independent said he maintained his right to change his position at any time and his support depended
on several political issues.
Asked if he thought Mr Turnbull was listening to him yesterday, he laughed: When youre on 74 seats and
you need 76, I thought he was listening very closely.
His promise will make the Prime Minister feel even more comfortable in his position.
15
I am very confident, very confident indeed that we will form ... a majority government in our own
right, but I am, of course, talking to the crossbenchers as well, Mr Turnbull told reporters, referring to the
independent and minor party lawmakers who sit between the two main parties and could hold the balance of
power in a divided parliament.
But so far the counting trends are very positive from our point of view.
20
Whether other independent MPs will support the Coalition is not yet certain. Senator Xenophon told the ABC
that he, Katter and Jacqui Lambie, share a concern about Australian jobs and Australian manufacturing and
Australian farming land ... when it comes to our foreign investment.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten insists the fight isnt over yet, telling reporters in Perth yesterday that Labor
would work with crossbenchers and independents to make Parliament work.
25
If Mr Turnbull is dragged cross the line narrowly, his problems, and unfortunately Australias, are only just
beginning.

What was reported is that Mr Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister claimed:

I am very confident, very confident indeed that we will form ... a majority
government in our own right,
This is a very puzzling comment, as least to me as a CONSTITUTIONALIST, in that I
understood this was a DOUBLE DISSOLUTION election to determine who shall represent each
electorate in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
It is in the Parliament (consisting of both Houses of Parliament) that determines the legal powers
of any Government what it can or cannot do. As such what we are voting for is the legislature for
the Commonwealth of Australia
As I understand it that it is a criminal offence to mislead electors as to induce them to vote by
false/misleading presentation. What we have is that the electors were advised they are voting for
a Government where constitutionally they were in fact not at all voting for a Government but for
the legislature.

On 26 December 1900 the then Governor-General commissioned Mr Edmund Barton to pursue
form a government for the Commonwealth of Australia commencing on 1 January 1901. On 1
January 1901 the Governor General commissioned Mr Edmund Barton as Prime Minister and
several other nominated persons to form a government. No election was held at the time and
would not be held until March 1901. As such it is clear that a government is not formed from any
election but by the provisions of the constitution for the Governor General to do so:
Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK)
QUOTE
64 Ministers of State
The Governor-General may appoint officers to administer such
departments of State of the Commonwealth as the
Governor-General in Council may establish.
Such officers shall hold office during the pleasure of the
Governor-General. They shall be members of the Federal
Executive Council, and shall be the Queens Ministers of State for

It must be clear that the appointment of Ministers to govern departments for and on behalf of the
Governor-General who represents the Monarchy is not at all provided for within Chapter 1
(regarding elections, etc) but rather in Chapter II.
Chapter IIThe Executive Government 34
Therefore it is my view that to deceive the electors to vote for a particular candidate (belonging
to a certain party or not) is deceptive where it is claimed that they are voting for a Government.
Clearly the Governor-General can appoint anyone who has not been elected to the parliament to
be a Minister of State within the provisions of Section 64.

QUOTE 130902-G. H .Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B. to Australian Electoral Commission - COMPLAINT
I have a further complaint against what I view is false/misleading election advertising by Palmer United
Party and obviously the question may be asked if the AEC approved this advertising, and if so, why?
On Monday Afternoon on 2 September 2013 between about 4 and 6 pm I heard over the radio a political
announcements by Palmer United Party, with various people, including a lawyer, to say something like to
vote for Clive Palmer as Prime Minister.
I must admit that also leaders of political parties tend to argue people are voting for who shall be the next
Prime Minister. I view the AEC has for too long failed to act against this kind of deceptive conduct, even so
this already was occurring even when former Queensland Jo Belkje-Peterson was campaigning to become
Prime Minister.
Constitutionally no one can vote for anyone to be voted in as Prime Minister. While there is a convention that
generally the Governor-General appoints the leader of the political party which can have the support of most
of the Members of the House of Representatives, this is nothing but a convention and cannot override what is
constitutionally applicable.
QUOTE
64 Ministers of State
The Governor-General may appoint officers to administer such
departments of State of the Commonwealth as the
Governor-General in Council may establish.
Such officers shall hold office during the pleasure of the

Executive Council, and shall be the Queens Ministers of State for

END QUOTE
While the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet has been created, it doesnt nor can circumvent the fact
that who shall or shall not be commissioned to become Prime Minister is a decision the Governor-General
makes and not subject to voting by the Australian electors. It ought to be understood that the 2010 debacle
came about where members elect (to the House of Representatives) but had not been sworn in, were making
deals to support Julia Gillard to remain Prime Minister. In my view they had no such constitutional position.
Mr Edmund Barton, was commissioned on 26 December 1900, as to form a government for the 1 January
1901 Commonwealth of Australia. He did not have any one in the House of Representatives, for the simple
reason it didnt exist. Constitutionally, within Sec 64 the Governor-General could commission me to form a
government, regardless that I am not a Member of the House of Representatives nor even a candidate. It
should be clear that political parties cannot amongst themselves overrule what is constitutionally applicable,
only a s128 of the constitution successful referendum can result to an amendment of the constitution!
While it may be argued that the majority of Members of Parliament of one political party or a coalition
generally has its leader to become Prime Minister, nevertheless, it is deceptive to claim that somehow
electors decide who shall become Prime Minister. In the end, it is the Governor-General who decides which
person shall be commissioned to form a government.
Fancy, for example that the leader of a political party, having attained the majority of seats in the House of
Representatives, then is declared bankrupt before being sworn in (again) as a Member of the House of
Representatives. It would be idiotic to hold that somehow the Governor-General had to ignore s44 of the
Constitution to commission a person to form a government, merely because of some convention.
Constitutionally, the Governor-General could still appoint this person for up to 3 months without becoming a
Member of the House of Representatives, but unlikely would a Governor-General desire to act contrary to the
public interest.

In my view the AEC should clamp down on false./misleading representation that the electors vote who shall
become the Prime Minister after the election, because as we saw in the 2010 debacle it could have been even
either party leaders or neither of them, that is if the Governor-General had not so to say bowed to pressure.
10

20
I am not standing as a candidate, and as such have in that regard no political interest in who shall or shall not
be voted for. However, I view the gross deception upon Australian electors should be stopped. hence the
AEC must take immediate action to stop any false/misleading claims as to electors voting for a Prime
Minister. Indeed, where the sitting Prime Minister is failing to succeed in being re-elected, such as John
Howard was in 2007, then clearly even if his party had succeeded in gaining most of the seats it would be
ridiculous to argue that somehow all Australians nevertheless voted for John Howard to be again the Prime
Minister.
It appears to me that the AEC for decades that is failed to ensure election(s) advertising and other election
claims were appropriately supervised, and this elaborate swindle upon the Australian electors was stopped.
END QUOTE 130902-G. H .Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B. to Australian Electoral Commission - COMPLAINT
It seems to me to be very clear that the Australian Electoral Commission is incompetent to

supervise the proper conduct of elections, as to allow such deceptive publications as if electors
vote for a Government, and as such an independent Ombudsman should be appointed to oversee
electoral matters. However, where it comes to any kind of agreement that may undermine the
true meaning and application of the constitution such as section 64 then the following must be
considered:
Crimes Act 1960 No. 84
Treachery.
24AA.(1.) A person shall not
25
(a) do any act or thing with intent

(i) to overthrow the Constitution of the Commonwealth
by revolution or sabotage;
(ii) to overthrow by force or violence the established government
of the Commonwealth, of a State or of a proclaimed country; or

..............................
24AA.(3.) A person who contravenes a provision of this section
shall be guilty of an indictable offence, called treachery.
Penalty: Imprisonment for life.

It appears to me that to pervert the election process as to undermine what the true meaning and
application of the constitution is about is treachery. Hence, I view any agreement between
political parties as to provide government offices to each other because of any election result
constitutes a violation of the constitution as Section 64 clearly leaves it to the Governor-General
to appoint Ministers of State (the executive/Government)
When Captain Cooke and others settled in the then New Holland in 1828 renamed New South
Wales and now referred to as a federation commonwealth of Australia. They did bring with them
English common law and statue law. Hence, the Sale of Office Act 1553 is part of Australian
law. The fact that it was in various parts repealed within the United Kingdom since settlement
since Captain Cooke declared the land for the British Crown itself cannot have any effect upon
its application within the Commonwealth of Australia (as now known) as much as the politicians
when it suits them rely upon British law when they can have benefits from them, such as
Parliamentarian House rules, this even so the British constitution is not a written constitution
whereas the Commonwealth of Australia is created by a written constitution.

Claiming political contributions and gifts

Political parties are not DGRs. However, in some circumstances, gifts and
contributions made by individuals to political parties and independent candidates
and members may be claimed as income tax deductions. If an individual wants to
claim a tax deduction for their contribution or gift to a political party,
independent candidate or independent member:
o
the recipient must be either
p24
13-9-2016
25
a political party registered under Part XI of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 or
under corresponding state or territory legislation
an individual who is or was an independent member of or who is an independent

candidate for the Commonwealth Parliament, a state parliament, the Legislative
Assembly of the Northern Territory or the Legislative Assembly for the Australian
Capital Territory
10
they must make the contribution or gift as an individual in their personal capacity and not in
the course of carrying on a business
their contribution or gift must be $2 or more and be of either
15
money
property that they purchased during the 12 months before making the contribution or
gift.
Taxpayers can't claim a deduction for testamentary contributions and gifts, that is,
those made under a will.
Registered political parties

If a taxpayer pays a membership subscription to a registered political party, they
can claim a deduction for this as a contribution.
20
See also:
Australian Electoral Commission websiteExternal Link for a list of political
parties registered under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.
Independent candidates and members

25
30
An independent candidate is one whose candidature is not endorsed by a political

party registered under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 or under
corresponding state or territory electoral legislation. The term includes an
endorsed candidate of an unregistered political party.
An independent member is one who is not a member of a political party that is
registered under Part XI of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 or under
corresponding state or territory legislation. The term includes a member of an
unregistered political party.
p25
13-9-2016
26
If a taxpayer makes a contribution or gift to an independent candidate in an

election, they must make it in the period:
o
from the time the candidates for the election are officially declared or announced
until either the
candidate makes public their intention to no longer be a candidate
result of the election is officially declared or announced.
In the rare situation of an election wholly failing, the latter date changes to when
the candidates are officially declared or announced for the replacement election.
10
For an independent member, the contribution or gift must be made in the period:
o
o
starting when the individual is an independent member (starting when the individuals
election is officially declared or announced), or
finishing when the individual ceases to be an independent member because either the
15
parliament, a house of the parliament or the legislative assembly is dissolved or has

reached its maximum duration
individual comes up for election.
This only applies until the candidates for the resulting election are officially
declared or announced.
20
Individuals making personal donations

The individual claims their tax deduction for a political contribution or gift in the
tax return for the income year in they made the contribution or gift.
The most that they can claim in an income year is:
25
$1,500 for contributions and gifts to political parties
$1,500 for contributions and gifts to independent candidates and members.
The amount of the deduction for a contribution or gift of property is either the
market value of the property on the day the contribution or gift was made or the
amount the individual paid for the property, whichever is less.
A deduction for a contribution or gift cannot add to or create a tax loss.
p26
13-9-2016
27
Example Donating to political parties, independent members and candidates

During the 201415 income year, John contributes in his personal capacity $500
and $1,500 respectively to two registered political parties. He also gifts $200,
$600 and $1,100 respectively to two independent candidates and one independent
member.
John may claim a tax deduction of $3,000 in his 201415 tax return:
o
$1,500 for the $2,000 contributed to political parties
$1,500 for the $1,900 gifted to the independent candidates and the independent member.
End of example
Business taxpayers
10
A business taxpayer cannot claim deductions for contributions and gifts to

political parties, members and candidates including payments incurred in deriving
assessable income.
Business taxpayers could claim a deduction for contributions and gifts made
before 1 July 2008.
15
Individuals making business-related donations

Non-business taxpayers, such as an employee or an office holder, who make
payments to political parties, members and candidates in deriving their assessable
income, may claim the expense as a deduction under the general deduction
provision. This is similar to an accountant being eligible for a deduction for
annual subscriptions paid to a society of accountants. The $1,500 limit does not
apply in this case.
20
A deduction for a contribution or gift cannot add to or create a tax loss.

Political parties are not DGRs. However, in some circumstances, gifts and contributions made by
individuals to political parties and independent candidates may be tax deductible.

Types of not-for-profit organisations

Depending on the type of not-for-profit (NFP) organisation, different concessions
are available. NFP organisations fall within two broad categories for tax
purposes:

35
o
charities
other types of NFP organisations.
Some of these organisations are also deductible gift recipients.
Charities
5
10
Charities receive the highest level of tax concessions. Charities must be registered
with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) before
they can be endorsed by us to access charity tax concessions. Charity tax
concessions are income tax exemption, FBT exemption, FBT rebate and GST
charity concessions. Charities that are endorsed to access any of these
concessions are known as 'tax concession charities' or TCCs.
Charities can be further broken down into the following types:
15
public benevolent institutions (PBIs)
health promotion charities (HPCs)
other charities.
PBIs and HPCs receive wider tax concessions than other charities.

Charity types and concessions
Other types of NFP organisations

20
NFP organisations that are not charities can self-assess their entitlement to certain
tax concessions, such as income tax exemption.
Examples of these types of organisations are sporting and recreational clubs,
community service organisations, professional and business associations, and
cultural and social societies.
25
Self-assessment means an organisation can work out for itself whether it is

entitled to access a tax concession, and it does not need to be endorsed by us to
access the concession.

Deductible gift recipients

Some charities, clubs, societies and associations are also deductible gift recipients
(DGRs).
DGRs are organisations that are entitled to receive tax-deductible gifts. DGRs are
either:
10
endorsed by us
listed by name in the tax law.
Tax deductions for gifts are claimed by the person or organisation that makes the
gift (the donor). Gifts are also referred to as donations.
15
There is a misconception held by some people that all charities can receive taxdeductible donations. This is incorrect not all charities are DGRs, and not all
DGRs are charities.
20
To be entitled to receive tax-deductible donations, an organisation (including a

charity) must be a DGR. Organisations can apply to us for endorsement if they
fall in a general DGR category specified in the tax law. This is done through the
DGR endorsement process which is different to the TCC endorsement process
where charities apply for approval to access charity tax concessions.

45
Madam,
As you are aware I continue to refer to my religious objection albeit do wish to indicate
that while using the religious objection referred to in subsection 245(14) of the
Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 I do not consider that this subsection 14 limits an
objection only to an theistic belief based religious objection but in fact it also includes
any secular belief based religious objection, as it must be neutral to whatever a person
uses as grounds for an objection. This, as Section 116 of the Constitution prohibit the
Commonwealth of Australia to limit the scope of subsection 245(14) to only theistic
belief based religious objections. Therefore, any person having a purely moral, ethical,
or philosophical source of religious objection have a valid objection.
Neither do I accept that a person making an religious objection requires to state his/her
religion, and neither which part of his/her religion provides for a religious objection as
the mere claim itself is sufficient to constitute what is referred to in subsection 245(14) as
being a religious objection. Therefore, the wording religious objection is to be taken
as objection without the word religion having any special meaning in that regard.

If you do not accept this as such, then there is clearly another constitutional issue on foot!

AND WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Re; Charges, etc
Madam,
With proceedings due next month, I view it would be more appropriate if you were to
make some effort as to communicate with myself regarding matters relating to the charges
and indeed the legal justification of them. After all, the Commonwealth Director of Public
Prosecutions may be litigating against many people allegedly failing to vote, besides
myself, and it may be born out by my material that none of such litigation could be
constitutionally valid. In my view, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions
must consider ALL RELEVANT MATERIAL as to ensure it is not pursuing vexatious
charges.
I assume that while you are a lawyer, more then likely you are not a constitutionalist,
and as such may lack the experiences and competence to understand and comprehend the
material I am relying upon, and for this you may do better to perhaps seek to consult a
constitutionalist who is appropriately trained in these matters. After all, if a
constitutionalist were to conclude that indeed I am on the right track that the charges
have no constitutional validity then you could surely save the Courts time to hear and
determine vexatious charges or even to try to attempt to do so.
Albeit, I am still working on the DRAFT version of the ADDRESS TO THE COURT, it
nevertheless is already comprehensive and would indicate to a constitutionalist that the
charges are ill conceived and without any constitutional bases to proceed with, and as such
I am willing to provide an electronic copy to you of the DRAFT, albeit not completed,
version so you may perhaps seek advise of a constitutionalist.
Awaiting your response, G. H. SCHOREL-HLAVKA
END QUOTE 7-6-2006 CORRESPONDENCE FAXED 7-6-2006
Firstly, I do wish to quote Section 117 and then 116 of the Constitution, both being
relevant;
45
117 Rights of residents in States
50
A subject of the Queen, resident in any State, shall not be subject

in any other State to any disability or discrimination which would
not be equally applicable to him if he were a subject of the Queen
resident in such other State.
Despite this, the Defendant continues to find that he is excluded from accessing High Court
of Australia, Federal Court of Australia and other AuslII.edu files. This despite ongoing
p42
13-9-2016
43
complaints filed via the Victorian Government, High Court of Australia, Federal Court of
Australia, etc.
10
It appears to the Defendant that this denial of access to judgments has been to try to limit
the Defendant to have relevant Authorities for litigation on foot.
After having filed a complaint via the Victorian Government then for about 2 weeks access
was enabled, only to be excluded again, as such, it is a deliberate conduct to prevent me to
research judgments on record so as to frustrate me in legal proceedings.
I view that this is in breach of Section 117 of the Constitution.
Because of this deliberate blockage to access Australian Authorities I am forced to rely
often upon US Authorities. In view that in the USA there is also a prohibition to legislate in
regard of religion then the equivalent Authority can be relied upon.
116 Commonwealth not to legislate in respect of religion
15
The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any
religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for
prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test
shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust
under the Commonwealth.
20
As shown below in greater extend the question of the Defendants religion itself would be
an invasion as to his rights. Further, there is no requirement to state any particular religion
as the matter in U.S. Supreme Court.

1. The language of 6 (j) cannot be construed (as it was in United States v. Seeger,
supra, and as it is in the prevailing opinion) to exempt from military service all
individuals who in good faith oppose all war, it being clear from both the legislative
history and textual analysis of that provision that Congress used the words "by
reason of religious training and belief" to limit religion to its theistic sense and to
confine it to formal, organized worship or shared beliefs by a recognizable and
cohesive group. Pp. 348-354.
2. The question of the constitutionality of 6 (j) cannot be avoided by a construction
of that provision that is contrary to its intended meaning. Pp. 354-356.
3. Section 6 (j) contravenes the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by
exempting those whose conscientious objection claims are founded on a theistic
belief while not exempting those whose claims are based on a secular belief. To
comport with that clause an exemption must be "neutral" and include those whose
belief emanates from a purely moral, ethical, or philosophical source. Pp. 356-361.
4. In view of the broad discretion conferred by the Act's severability clause and the
longstanding policy of exempting religious conscientious objectors, the Court,
rather than nullifying the exemption entirely, should extend its coverage to those

Hints for Religious Exemptions to Immunization
Please read the text below before you download, print, or use the sample religious
exemption letter and support materials provided in the following link:
10
Sample Religious Exemption Letter and Supporting Documentation

Refer to the statutes. The laws require that immunization must conflict with the tenets
and practices of a recognized or organized religion of which you are an adherent or
member. However, the law does not require you to name a religion at all. In fact,
disclosing your religion could cause your religious exemption to be challenged.
15
And
Some schools and daycares attempt to require you to give far more information than
required by law. You are not required by law to fill out any form letters from a school
or daycare. The law allows you to submit your own letter and the letter only needs to
meet the bare requirements of the law. Keep it simple; do not feel you need to describe
your religious beliefs here as that also is not required by law.
And
Many times, when a school or day care questions your exemption, they are merely
unfamiliar with the law or trying to coerce you to go against your beliefs by
deliberately misrepresenting the law. They are betting on the fact that you don't
know your rights.
20
25
30
What appears to be clear is that a religious objection is not qualified to a specific religion
and neither can be as this would in fact offend Section 116 of the Constitution. Neither can
it be associated with any particular religion as this would also interfere with Section 116 of
the Constitution. Likewise, any person objecting under the religious objection
Subsection 245(14) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 neither can be required to
be a religious person as this would also offend Section 116 of the Constitution, as the
equivalent in WELSH v. UNITED STATES, 398 U.S. 333 (1970), 398 U.S. 333 made
clear that it (the religious objection applies as much to non religious persons as religious
persons. Therefore, anyone objection for his/her personal reasons to vote clearly is entitled
to do so regardless of having any specific religion mentioned.

The beliefs and practices of members constitute a religion. Religion involves:

A non-profit organisation is an organisation that is not operating for the profit

winds up.
Any profit made by the organisation goes back into the operation of the
organisation to carry out its purposes and is not distributed to any of its
members.
We accept an organisation as non-profit where its constituent or governing
documents prevent it from distributing profits or assets for the benefit of
particular persons both while it is operating and when it winds up. These
documents should contain acceptable clauses showing the organisation's nonprofit character. The organisation's actions must be consistent with this
requirement.

An institution can have different legal forms. It may be a trust established by
will or instrument of trust. It may have the legal structure of an unincorporated
association or a corporation. However, incorporation is not enough on its own
for an organisation to be an institution. Its activities, size, permanence and
recognition will be relevant.
An institution mainly carries out its own activities relevant to its purposes.

An institution is not:
o
a fund for example, a trust merely to manage or hold trust property to make distributions to
other entities or people
a structure with a small and exclusive membership that is controlled and operated by family
members and friends and carries out limited activities.

Sir EDWARD BRADDON (Tasmania).-I have an amendment to move on behalf of Tasmania, and also an
amendment of my own. The clause we have before us says that a state shall not make any law prohibiting the
free exercise of any religion. It is quite possible that this might make lawfull practices which would otherwise
be strictly prohibited. Take, for instance, the Hindoos. One of their religious rites is the "suttee," and
another is the "churruck,"-one meaning simply murder, and the other barbarous cruelty, to the
devotees who offer themselves for the sacrifice.
Dr. COCKBURN.-The Thugs are a religious sect.
15
Sir EDWARD BRADDON.-Yes. If this is to be the law, these people will be able to practise the rites
of their religion, and the amendment I have to suggest is the insertion of some such words as these:But shall prevent the performance of any such religious rites, as are of a cruel or demoralizing
character or contrary to the law of the Commonwealth.

Mr. FRASER (Victoria).-I think that if we give the right to an infinitesimal minority to come here and
indulge in extraordinary practices, under the pretence that this is a new religion, we may have all the
theatres and all the music-halls in Australia open on Sundays. If that is possible we ought to do what
we can to provide against it.
Mr. HIGGINS (Victoria).-I want if I can to recommend the Commonwealth Bill and get it carried. But
why should we be faced with this difficulty? You have put in the preamble a religious recital which is not in
the Constitution of the United States of America, but you have not put in the safeguard against religious
intolerance which they have there. I ask honorable members how I shall face that difficulty? There is a grave
suspicion evidenced by what I said that there were 36,000 distinct signatures upon this very point. I do not
think it is too much for me to say that we ought to reassure those persons. They may be wrong. It may be
right, as my friend (Mr. Barton) says, that there is no power by implication in the Commonwealth to pass this
law. It may be right as he says, that the Commonwealth ought to have the power. But I only say that it is a
state matter, and it should be left to the states. My honorable friend (Mr. Fraser), with all respect to him,
shows the current ignorance on this matter because he will not understand that the state, if my proposal is
carried, will have the same power as it has now to stop any theatrical performances on Sunday.

Mr. BARTON.-I do not think the fact that we may be held by law to be a Christian community is any
reason for us to anticipate that there will be any longer any fear of a reign of Christian persecution-any fear
that there will be any remnant of the old ideas which have caused so much trouble in other ages. The whole
of the advancement in English-speaking communities, under English laws and English institutions, has shown
a less and less inclination to pass laws for imposing religious tests, or exacting religious observances, or to
maintain any religion. We have not done that in Australia. We have abolished state religion in all these
colonies; we have wiped out every religious test, and we propose now to establish a Government and a
Parliament which will be at least as enlightened as the Governments and Parliaments which prevail in various
states; therefore, what is the practical fear against which we are fighting? That is the difficulty I have in
relation to this proposed clause. If I thought there was any-the least-probability or possibility, taking into
consideration the advancement of liberal and tolerant ideas that is constantly going on of any of these various
communities utterly and entirely retracing its steps, I might be with the honorable member. If we, in these
communities in which we live, have no right whatever to anticipate a return of methods which were practised
under a different state or Constitution, under a less liberal measure of progress and advancement; if, as this
p54

progress goes on, the rights of citizenship are more respected; if the divorce between Church and State
becomes more pronounced; if we have no fear of a recurrence of either the ideas or the methods of former
days with respect to these colonies, then I do suggest that in framing a Constitution for the Commonwealth of
Australia, which we expect to make at least as enlightened, and which we expect to be administered with as
much intellectuality as any of the other Constitutions, we are not going to entertain fears in respect of the
Commonwealth which we will not attempt to entertain with respect to any one of the states. Now, we have
shown that we do not intend these words to apply to our states by striking out clause 109. That might be a
provision that might be held to be too express in its terms, because there may be practices in various
religions which are believed in by persons who may enter into the Commonwealth belonging to other
races, which practices would be totally abhorrent to the ideas, not only to any Christian, but to any
civilized community; and inasmuch as the Commonwealth is armed with the power of legislation in
regard to immigration and emigration, and with regard to naturalization, and also with regard to the
making of special laws for any race, except the aboriginal races belonging to any state-inasmuch as we
have all these provisions under which it would be an advisable thing that the Commonwealth, under its
regulative power, should prevent any practices from taking place which are abhorrent to the ideas of
humanity and justice of the community; and inasmuch as it is a reasonable thing that these outrages on
humanity and justice (if they ever occur) should be prohibited by the Commonwealth, it would be a
dangerous thing, perhaps, to place in the Bill a provision which would take out [start page 1772] of their
hands the power of preventing any such practices.

20
Mr. HIGGINS.-Do you think that the Commonwealth has that power under the existing Bill?
Mr. BARTON.-I am not sure that it has not. I am not sure that it has not power to prevent anything
that may seem an inhuman practice by way of religious rite.
Mr. HIGGINS.-I want to leave such matters to the states.

It must be clear that the Commonwealth of Australia was specifically created to prevent any
racial discrimination, albeit the States retained their rights to legislate such as Sundays opening
of businesses. However, it cannot be argued that because the States can exercise this legislative
power than it can somehow by backdoor manner circumvent Section 116 of the constitution.
This, as no matter if the State/Territory were to give personal tax exemptions to any religious
organization this then cannot be applied as some flow on effect to the commonwealth. Therefore
a religious organization might be for taxation purposes have a tax exemption, albeit this would be
in violation of the separation of powers, while the Commonwealth would be prohibited to apply
the same merely because a State provided such special religious status.
In my view the provisions by the ATO to provide for special tax exemption status for religious
institutions, etc, would be in violation of s116 of the constitution.

A truly secular country is one in which society is fully organised on the basis of reason. This requires

people should be free to hold any form of religious belief, these are best held privately, and should
not receive government endorsement or support.

The Secular Party holds that religious beliefs can give rise to unwarranted restrictions on civil
liberties and constitute a source of social disharmony. We seek to uphold the internationally
recognised Declaration of the Rights of the Child. This document implies that children should be
free to develop to their full potential, including the capacity for freedom of thought. Children should
be protected from religious indoctrination. Ethics should be based on universal principles, such as
compassion, honesty, freedom and justice.
A mans ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and
needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained
by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. Albert Einstein

It is in my view very clearly stated it aims to act contrary to religious views expressed by others,
hence while they too might have their own personal views I hold that this violates s116 as to
obtaining special taxation exemptions. It is their right to express their opposing religious views
as much as those expressing religious views are entitled to do so but none of them can therefore
be provided with any Commonwealth taxation assistance and so neither any tax concessions
which would cause others with opposing views of either of them to having to make up the
shortfall in taxation.

While reportedly Mr Bill Shorten of the ALP is introducing a Bill for so call same sex equality (I
understand to refer to homosexual marriage equality) claiming that the Parliament has the liberty
and power to include homosexuals in the marriage provisions, which I as a
CONSTITUTIONALIST I do not accept to be so considering implied legal principles in the
constitution (see my past publications) one has however to consider that if one were to accept
this view of Mr Bill Shorten than the Parliament would also be empowered to provide for
equality of love when it relates to plural marriages, bestiality marriages, pedophilia marriages
and incestuous marriages all are to be deemed within the powers of the Parliament to legislate
upon.
The Victorian premier Mr Daniel Andrews already removed the criminal convictions of
homosexuals claiming this was a gross injustice. Moment, someone was charged and may have
made a plea bargaining to homosexuality rather than pedophilia and may have been convicted on
that issue and now gets his name exonerated? We are talking about backdating matters where at
the time the law was as it stood. Why then convict anyone of sex crimes if perhaps down the time
they might be exonerated regardless of the crime against the laws of society then committed?
Why not have a free for all sex romp with whomever (not that I promote this) as after all
wouldnt it be wasting valuable court time to hold trials at cost of the public purse when perhaps
decades later some premier might just decide that bestiality, multiple marriages, pedophilia, etc,
as is a matter of love and nothing to do with societys standards at the time!.

In my view any political party that promotes in any way religious or counter-religious issues
should be deregistered as it offend Section 116 of the constitution. As such, if the ALP pursues
counter religious issues then it too should be de-registered as a political party and so also the
Australian Greens, the Liberal Party and any other political party.

with him if he meant that we are legislating in such a manner as to enable the future to legislate for

comes on they shall say, "Blessed be those ancestors of ours who have left us this freedom, so that
nothing can take place-no changes in the state of the world-but we possess all powers to define the
measures most necessary to bring peace and tranquillity at every epoch it comes on." That is the real

Australian Marriage Equality is a national organisation working to ensure all adult

We believe a persons gender or sexuality should not affect their legal rights and responsibilities
under Australian marriage law. Our approach to achieving marriage equality is through lobbying,
advocacy and education. Weve always held that marriage equality will be achieved when supporters
work together regardless of faith, party, race or sexuality. We value respect, calm discussion and

And if one can marry to anyone other human being then well in some countries marriage to a 9

marriage recognized?
While one can introduce e societys standards of other countries (jurisdictions) one has to

For a man to marry more than 1 woman and father with each of them many children may suit
certain countries but not that of We\stern societys standards, considering also the so called
honour killings and the denial of equality of women compared to men, etc.
Likewise countries where a man can marry an animal is hardly the standard we should apply to
our kind of marriage but if people argue what applied regarding homosexuals in other countries
as to marriage then why deprive those involved in bestiality of the same rights?
As shown in the USA now an adoption was cancelled many years after the adoption took place
so the father now was able to marry his son. Just imagine how many men could now pursue to
annul the adoption of a child so he can marry the child. It allows for the grooming of children for
later marriage.
Ample of men love more than one woman and ample of women love more than one man does
this mean we just have sexual orgies created without limit? After all why keep a marriage to one
man and one woman if one of them could also marry one of the same gender? Why limit the
marriage to one of the same gender or non-gender when a person can love perhaps whomever
this person happens to see on the street? Why not let them become married to whomever they
happen to desire to be married for and for whatever long or short period they may desire, perhaps
just the duration of a sexual encounter? After all under the Provisions of the Family law Act if a
man may have a so called one night stand with a sexual encounter and the woman becomes
pregnant than he is still liable for all associated issues. Well why then not call it a marriage
without any need for formalities?

It seems to me that the Liberal Party is endorsing this homosexual marriage issue by including

A plebiscite on same-sex marriage would be a failure of parliaments responsibility

March 4, 2016 6.04am AEDT
If Australia holds a fairly conducted plebiscite on legalising same-sex marriage after the next election, the
result will almost certainly reflect what we already know from an unbroken line of reputable opinion polls.
55
Success for the yes case will come, in time, to be seen as extraordinarily empowering for same-sexattracted Australians. This is not a case, however, where the ends will justify the means.

The debate will be divisive. Some on the no side are apparently bent on using the cover of a plebiscite to
advance specious arguments connecting same-sex marriage with the abuse of children, sexually transmitted
diseases and drug abuse.
Decriminalising homosexuality holds lessons
In November 1980, the attorney-general, Haddon Storey, rose in the Victorian parliament to outline the
Liberal governments rationale for abolishing the offences of buggery and gross indecency between males.
He said:
It does not represent any approval or condonation of these activities. The government does not accept sexual
relationships between persons of the same sex as an acceptable alternative lifestyle.
10
15
Another Liberal, Murray Hamilton, spoke against decriminalisation, on the ground that it was no more than
the obsession of a small number of homosexuals. The National Party opposed decriminalisation as a bloc. It
argued that homosexual activity was repugnant, completely unnatural and not carried out in the animal world.
The Victorian legislation ultimately passed and came into effect in March 1981. Legislation removing
provisions of the criminal law that penalised homosexual sexual activity was passed progressively throughout
Australia between 1975 (South Australia) and 1997 (Tasmania).
Today, the anxiety of past parliaments to condemn homosexuality, even as they passed legislation to
decriminalise it, appears laughingly begrudging. The arguments harnessed against the reform would be just
laughable but for the harm they no doubt did to generations of gay people. Yet clear echoes of that mentality
resound today.
20
In October 1986, Joseph Ratzinger the future Pope Benedict XVI, in his then-capacity as Prefect for the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said homosexuality was:
a more or less strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil; and thus the inclination must be
seen as an objective disorder.
Ratzinger returned to the theme in July 2003:
25
There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even
remotely analogous to Gods plan for marriage and family. Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go
against the natural moral law.
In March 2010, then-opposition leader Tony Abbott said he felt a bit threatened by gay people. He
elaborated:
30
There is no doubt that it challenges, if you like, orthodox notions of the right order of things.
Throughout his tenure as prime minister, Abbott was consistent in his opposition to the legalisation of samesex marriage. However, he argued from tradition, rather than from scripture or religious obligation.
In March 2011, then-prime minister Julia Gillard opposed legalising same-sex marriage:
because of the way our society is and how we got here.
35
In September 2014, after leaving parliament, Gillard suggested that her opposition to marriage equality was
born not of respect for marriages special status, but of an old-fashioned, feminist view that there should be
some way, other than marriage, of solemnising relationships and recognising them as of worth and status.
In August 2015, Gillard said she had changed her view she would now vote in favour of legalising samesex marriage.
40
45
Opponents of same-sex marriage have now taken to accusing proponents of being intolerant or bigoted. A
spokesperson for the Australian Christian Lobby told a Senate committee in September 2015 that many on
his side of the debate felt fear and intimidation.
Having regard to the long history of religious and political leaders branding gay people as intrinsically
morally evil, objectively disordered and a challenge to the orthodox notion of the right order of things, there
is a breathtaking hypocrisy in that charge. In any event, it is neither intolerant nor bigoted to call out hollow
arguments.

Why a plebiscite?
Since becoming prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull has adhered to the policy of his predecessor. He is
promising a national plebiscite on same-sex marriage after the next election.
Because no change to the Constitution is required, there is no legal reason for a plebiscite. The parliament
could resolve the matter by a simple vote.
There have been only three national plebiscites in Australias history. Not one provides a useful precedent.
Plebiscites were held in October 1916 and December 1917 to test the publics attitude towards Billy Hughes
plan to introduce conscription during the first world war. Both failed.
10
15
The third plebiscite occurred in 1977, when voters were asked whether they wished to replace God Save the
Queen as Australias national anthem. Important though it may have been, the change to Advance Australia
Fair involved no question of civil rights or conscience.
Australian parliaments routinely legislate in respect of socially contentious issues without resorting to
plebiscites or referenda. Conscription was introduced in 1942 for the remainder of the second world war.
Compulsory national service operated during the Korean and Vietnam wars. None of these matters were
expressly put to the people.
Women were given the vote, the death penalty abolished, homosexuality decriminalised, no-fault divorce
introduced, the White Australia Policy reversed and detention centres for asylum seekers set up in the Pacific
Islands all without the mandate of a plebiscite or referendum. No case has been made as to why or how
legalising same-sex marriage is qualitatively different.
20
25
It seems that some opponents of same-sex marriage were confident that, under Abbott, any popular vote
could have been constructed in a manner calculated to maximise its prospects of failure.
Now, the arguments of some opponents bear a chilling similarity to those that were trotted out at the time of
the decriminalisation of homosexuality more than two generations ago. Whats more, some conservative
politicians say that if the plebiscite succeeds, they will not respect the peoples verdict on the floor of the
parliament.
The proposal for a plebiscite was always an unnecessary and costly abrogation of parliaments responsibility.
Now that the damage the debate will do has been exposed, and the deal by which it came to be government
policy repudiated, it should be revisited.

Australia and subsequently in WA. In 1899!
It is regrettable that this Matt Collins seek to Cherry pick what may suit him for his
argument concealing the real facts to some extent.
Homosexual marriages have nothing to do with equality or love but with the invasion of
rights associated with heterosexual marriages, as much would be the invasion of a part time
employee demanding the same status as a permanent employee. A par time employee may
show to be more dedicated to the job than the permanent employee but that is not what is
the deciding factor it is that there is a difference. One isnt going to give the same kind of
matrimonial rights to a person who became married in his country of origin to an animal,
would we? Well, if it is all about love and equality then why not?

It appears to me to be clear that elector voted upon what was put before then and such as with
Murray decided they preferred the National Party over the Liberals. As such, it cannot be held
that some agreement between the Liberal Party and national party somehow now means those
who voted for the National party candidate opposing homosexual marriage recognition now
somehow voted in favour of it.
Electors are entitled to know the precise terms of any agreement that was made between those
now forming the coalition as to see if they were so to say sold out or not by their leaders.
This is not some minor issue because parties collected millions of dollars of taxpayers monies
from the primary vote of electors and as such the policies certainly resulted to huge financial
windfalls for each candidate as to primary votes.
It is therefore essential that the precise terms of any agreement between the coalition partners is
made known to the general community.
No one can ignore that Mr (back down) Barnaby Joyce went for the election at the time that he
would oppose the sale of Telstra, only to later agree for this. Did he do a likewise deal this time I
wonder?
Somehow any citizen not honestly revealing details to a Government Department can be
convicted under crimes act provisions, but politicians who deceive the electorate simply are not
held accountable, and this must change.
.

Whatever the terms of the agreement, it cannot be deemed private because the political parties
are bound to disclose to the electorate what the terms of the agreement stands for. And if indeed
it is to the terms of the election policies they voted for.
For the above I repeat my request to be provided with all details of the so much touted agreement
of the coalition partners, both that orally and/or in writing was agreed upon.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH

CIRCUIT 40
No. 82-195 Argued: April 18, 1983 --- Decided: June 29, 1983
A Minnesota statute ( 290.09, subd. 22) allows state taxpayers, in computing their state
income tax, to deduct expenses incurred in providing "tuition, textbooks and transportation" for
their children attending an elementary or secondary school. Petitioner Minnesota taxpayers
brought suit in Federal District Court against respondent Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue
and respondent parents who had taken the tax deduction for expenses incurred in sending their
children to parochial schools, claiming that 290.09, subd. 22, violates the Establishment
Clause of the First Amendment by providing 5 financial assistance to sectarian institutions.
The District Court granted summary judgment for respondents, holding that the statute is
p69

70
neutral on its face and in its application and does not have a primary effect of either advancing
or inhibiting religion. The Court of Appeals affirmed.
Held: Section 290.09, subd. 22, does not violate the Establishment Clause, but satisfies all
elements of the "three-part" test laid down in Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602, that must be
met for such a statute to be upheld under the Clause. Pp. 392-403.
(a) The tax deduction in question has the secular purpose of ensuring that the State's citizenry is
well educated, as well as of assuring the continued financial health of private schools, both
sectarian and nonsectarian. Pp. 394-395. 15

As the Framers of the Constitution made clear regarding importing rails by a state:
QUOTE
25
Mr. O'CONNOR: In a case of that kind the reversion which is in the Crown would not be taxed, but
the letting value would be taxed.
Mr. BARTON: I might mention that the property of the Commonwealth in that land is the reversion upon
the lease. The reversion upon the lease would not be [start page 1002] taxable, but the interest of the lessee in
the property would be taxable.
Mr. GLYNN: I am only pointing out a difficulty that might arise.

Mr. HENRY: I would like to raise a question as to the right of the Commonwealth to tax materials
for State purposes. In the event of a colony importing rails, machinery, engines, &c., for State
purposes, I would like to know whether such exports are to be free from Customs duties. Will the
Federal Parliament have a right to levy duties on materials imported for State purposes?
Mr. BARTON: This is a matter that was discussed very fully in the Constitutional Committee, and I think
my hon. friend Sir George Turner will remember that I consulted the members of the Finance Committee
upon it, intimating to them the opinion of the Constitutional Committee on the point. The words:
Impose any tax on property
40
do not refer to the importation of goods at all, and any amendment to except the Customs would be
unnecessary. This clause states that a State shall not, without the consent of the Parliament of the
Commonwealth, impose taxation on property of any kind belonging to the Commonwealth, meaning by that
property of any kind which is in hand, such as land within the Commonwealth. That has no reference to
Customs duties.
Sir GEORGE TURNER: Will articles imported by the States Governments come in free?
45
Mr. BARTON: The question then arises whether articles imported by the States Governments are to
come in free, but this section has nothing to do with that. Under this Bill and in the measure of 1891 I
believe duties would have been collectable upon imports by any State, and after the consultation which
I had with the hon. member and his colleagues on the Finance Committee the Constitutional
Committee decided not to make any exemption in the case of any State.

mean, that the power of the state to legislate ceases. On the question of whether the exclusive power
under this provision comes into being with the establishment of the Commonwealth, I would call the
attention of the leader of the Convention to clause 84. That clause seems to indicate that this exclusive
power arises the moment an Act is passed. It speaks of the exclusive power of enforcing customs duties
being vested in the Federal Parliament, but the second paragraph says-
But this exclusive power shall not come into force until uniform duties of customs have been imposed
by the Parliament.
It would appear that without that limitation the exclusive power would come into force at once, and the

It should be understood there are many persons who for religious beliefs do not desire to provide

reports where even a person was imprisoned for refusing to deal with homosexual marriages
contrary to her beliefs. Therefore it is to force upon others contrary to their religious beliefs a

position. I understand if we add the word "proposed" before "laws" it would then be really a matter of
procedure, and that the introduction of the word "proposed" before "laws" would make it practically a Bill,
and that otherwise the question of whether the measure is constitutional could not be dealt with.
20
Mr. BARTON: It will prevent the High Court from inquiring into it.
Mr. MCMILLAN: According to the amendment proposed, it would prevent any mere slip of procedure
from making invalid an Act which may affect the whole country and its financial operations, but nothing
which we may enact with regard to procedure will prevent any suitor from going to the High Court if
the Act is essentially unconstitutional. That is the way I look at it, and it seems to me that either putting in
"proposed" before "laws," or adding an amendment somewhere or other making it clear that no mere slip of
procedure can invalidate the law, would meet all the difficulties.
25
Mr. BARTON: This is not proposed to cover mere slips, but everything.
Mr. MCMILLAN: I do not think that could be the intention. We are attempting to legislate for a very
limited possibility. You will get disputes so long as there are lawyers in the world. I do not know
whether Federation will do away with lawyers.
30
Mr. BARTON: Not until merchants will cease to quarrel.

Mr. MCMILLAN: If so it would simplify our arrangements very much. At the same time it does seem that
there ought to be something introduced to prevent the law being put into operation for a mere breach of
procedure, if there is such a chance.

Mr. SYMON: There is no chance.

Mr. MCMILLAN: I do not suppose that any ordinary moral layman would do it, unless he were
instructed by a less moral lawyer.

Reportedly Mr Bill Shorten argues that even one suicide by a homosexual denied to be married is
too many. As if people are committing suicide for this at a large scale. Why is he then not taking
the same approach to people subjected to Family Court litigation where reportedly as many as 7
men die each day?
It is nonsense to claim that the cost of the Plebiscite is unjustified when it comes to people facing
serious problems for refusing to deal with homosexuals. After all we have already plenty of
people who suffered for the very reasons to refuse to do something against their religious beliefs.

Barrister says forced apology wrong in Corbett case
By SEAN McCOMISH
Nov. 30, 2013, 4 a.m.

A BARRISTER defending controversial former political hopeful Tess Corbett is confident

an anti-discrimination ruling against the Lake Bolac grandmother will be overturned.
Melbourne barrister Marcel White says a court order forcing Ms Corbett to publicly
apologise in a Sydney newspaper over comments likening gays and paedophiles could set a
dangerous precedent for politicians and political aspirants.
45
This appeal raises issues around free speech within the election process and the extent to
which candidates for Parliament can rely on exemptions from anti-discrimination laws
during interviews with the media, Mr White told The Standard.
Ms Corbett sparked outrage in January this year while campaigning as the Wannon
candidate for Katters Australia Party.
50
She dropped out of the race but was approached by the Australian Christians months later
to stand again in the seat.
p76
13-9-2016
77
Ms Corbett ended up running for Parliament with the Australian Christians party and
many Christians around Australia have been following her case because she expressed
opinions on moral issues in response to media questions about her candidacy, Mr White
said.
5
The ability for Christians to make contributions to civic life, and whether it is legitimate
for the state or other interested persons to restrict those contributions, is a central issue
arising from the Corbett media interviews.
No date has been set for an appeal hearing.
10
Mr White also intends to challenge jurisdictional issues over the New South Wales AntiDiscrimination Board order.
The Standard understands Mr White is handling the case pro bono but he would not
confirm or deny if he was handling it free of charge.
15
Gay rights activist Gary Burns, who brought the case against Ms Corbett, remains
confident the ruling will be upheld as she did not attend any of the tribunal hearings in
Sydney.
Mr White said his client had been unable to attend the hearingS because of the remoteness
of her home.
20
Ms Corbetts absence from the original hearings was in large part caused by the
remoteness of her home in Lake Bolac from the tribunal in the Sydney CBD, which is
nearly 1000km away, a fair few country miles in the old parlance, he said.

A former candidate from Bob Katters Australia Party who likened gays and lesbians to pedophiles
during an interview on the campaign trail in 2013 had been found to have engaged in homosexual
vilification under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 ( NSW ) by the former NSW Administrative
Decisions Tribunal ( ADT ) and ordered the defendant to publish an apology in the Sydney
Morning Herald pursuant to the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.

Ms.Corbett was Bob Katters candidate for the Victorian seat of Wannon in the federal election until
she was stood down in January of 2013 after telling her local paper , I dont want gays , lesbians
or pedophilies working in my kindergarten.
If you dont like it , go to another kindergarten , Ms.Corbett told the Hamilton Spectator.
When asked if she considered homosexuals to be in the same category as pedophiles , Ms.Corbett
replies , yes .
10
Pedophiles will be next in line to be recognised in the same was as gays and lesbians and get
rights, she said.
Ms.Corbett appealed the 2013 decision of first instance citing St Paul as a defence but her appeal
was rightly dismissed by the court of appeal.
15
Anti-Discrimination Campaigner and Public Interest Litigant Garry Burns initiated the proceedings
against Ms.Corbett under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 ( NSW ). The Tribunal ordered the
defendant to publish an apology in the Sydney Morning Herald in a prominent position pursuant to
the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 at her own expense and to also apologise to Mr.Burns in writing.
20
Ms.Corbett has failed to comply with an order of the NSW Civil Administrative Tribunal ( NCAT )
and on Tuesday 22 December 2015 Mr.Burns commenced contempt proceedings against the
defendant in the NSW Supreme Court.
25
The Orders Mr.Burns seeks the court to make are ;
30
1. Ms.Corbett be found guilty of contempt of Court for failing to comply with the order made on the
24 September 2014 , in that the defendant failed to procure by 13 November 2015 , at her expense
, the publication of the apology in the Sydney Morning Herald pursuant to the Anti-Discrimination
Act 1977.
2. Ms.Corbett be found guilty of contempt of Court for failing to comply with the order made on the
24 September 2014 , in that the defendant failed to forward by 13 November 2015 a signed letter of
apology to the plaintiff Mr.Burns.
35
3. The defendant Ms.Corbett be punished for her contempt by Fine .

4. The defendant pay the plaintiffs costs on an indemnity basis.
40
Mr.Burns is NOT seeking that the defendant Ms.Corbett be punished for her contempt by Jail .
45
My public interest work is not about punishing individuals , it is about educating people in powerful
positions of their responsibilities under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 to not make pernicious
public statements that have a capacity or effect of inciting ridicule , contempt or hatred
against homosexual Australians , Mr.Burns said.
Hearing Details
The Motion is listed at 9am on Monday 15 February 2016 in the Supreme Court of NSW.
50
55
60
Mr.Burns said , It is now up to the Judiciary on how it deals with this defendant in relation to
the allegation of contempt . My initiating of contempt proceedings against Ms.Corbett is to send
a very clear and precise message to the Australian public that there are consequences if a
defendant of an order of the NSW Civil Administrative Tribunal ( NCAT ) ignores it .
Mr.Burns wanted to engineer a very creative settlement / remedy. Its terms must reflect his belief in
the public interest in the defending of gay men and womens rights to freedom from public acts of
discrimination and or unlawful homosexuality vilification.

I understand that this Gary Burns is also litigating against various other persons not residing in
NSW as to racial vilification.
However, I view those engaging in homosexuality are not a race as such! Neither can it be
deemed a form of discrimination to excise once political views. After all we have leaders of
political parties to promote homosexual marriages and as such I view Tess Corbett was entitled
to cast her views. After all it was part of her political platform. No one can expect her to hide her
views and then have people casting their vote and later find some backdown politicians doing the
opposite to what was understood to be the candidates political position.

Applicable principles
102
The Constitution provides for a system of representative and responsible government. Sections 7 and 24 of
the Constitution provide that the two Houses of the Parliament must be "directly chosen by the people".
Section 64 requires that no Minister of State hold office "for a longer period than three months unless he is
or becomes a senator or a member of the House of Representatives". Those who are elected as members of
the Parliament and those who are appointed as Ministers of State are necessarily accountable to "the
people" referred to in ss 7 and 24. Additionally, s 128 provides that the Constitution shall not be altered
except in the manner provided in that section; in particular, only "if in a majority of the States a majority of
the electors voting approve the proposed law, and if a majority of all the electors voting also approve the
proposed law". As the whole Court said in Lange4, it follows from these and other provisions that
"[f]reedom of communication on matters of government and politics is an indispensable incident of
that system of representative government which the Constitution creates".
103
Because freedom of communication on matters of government and politics is an indispensable

incident of the constitutionally prescribed system of government, that freedom cannot be curtailed by
the exercise of legislative or executive power5 and the common law cannot be inconsistent with it. But
the freedom is not absolute and it follows that the limit on legislative power is also not absolute.

While it is now claimed that Derryn Hinch had it wrong in her telling, the unknown source of

of such serious nature and now appears to me to try to change this without naming the female
concerned so it can be verified.
As for naming pedophiles, I view this is for the courts to do if it deems it appropriate. Using the
Senate for any kind of gimmick to name any pedophile I view is a very dangerous stunt and the
Senate should ban him from doing so.
History is full of tales how innocent people were convicted and later exonerated. We must trust
the Courts to do it right. I for one lack trust in the system called courts but nevertheless hold this
to be what we have and if we desired better we must campaign for this. If the Senate allows
Derryn Hinch to name what he deems to be pedophiles he may yet again, as I understand he did

Let us be clear about it sometimes a person can end up with a criminal conviction by an innocent
conduct. This, could destroy the future of the person then convicted besides the harm to the
victim, and yet we have under aged children going on rampages, including murder and they are
not named.
The danger we can have is that a pedophile might find it more attractive to murder his/her victim
as then possibly avoid any conviction and naming and shaming. This is not the kind of result we
would desire for a society. We need to address the real issues why pedophilia is occurring and
address this underlying cause.
In my view it is not for the Commonwealth of Australia to publish any list because convictions
are State based. Why list the ones know but others being convicted elsewhere are left unknown.
We had a convicted murderer migrating into Australia and then deported only to re-enter under
false identity and then being allowed by the High Court of Australia to stay because of having
fathered a child.
The Framers of the Constitution held that a person having made an error in life should be
allowed by society to make a fresh start having paid his dues to society and even be entitled to
stand as a candidate for political elections. While no one may seek to diminish the horror of a
crime committed against any other human being we must rely upon our courts to act
appropriately and if the courts have passed sentence and the person has served this then we
should not outcast this person for life.

This clause was very shortly debated on the last evening of our sitting in Sydney. I did not then press the
matter to a division, because so many delegates were absent, but I indicated that I would take an opportunity
of having a division in this session. The object of my amendment is that public men shall not be penalized
unduly by a provision which will disqualify them, perhaps for all time, from holding a position in public life
by reason of monetary misfortune. Clause 46, which follows, I do not intend to amend. It provides that the
seat shall be vacated by any member who becomes bankrupt or insolvent, and then, the seat being vacated,
the member will have to go to his constituents for re-election. That is practically the law in New South Wales,
although I believe it is not the law in Victoria. I think it is a sufficient penalty for a public man that be should
resign his seat and go before his electors when he takes advantage of the law relating to insolvent debtors. It
is going too far to say that because a man by misfortune, and owing to circumstances over which perhaps he
has no control, is compelled to seek the protection of the court, he should resign all public offices and
practically retire from public life. What would have happened in New South Wales if we had had such a
provision in the law? We have seen, not on one occasion, but on many occasions, not in regard to one
individual, but in regard to many individuals, men occupying positions as Premiers, whose usefulness has not
been questioned, who have been compelled to have recourse to the protection of the Insolvency Court. These
men have resigned their position in Parliament, as they were compelled to do by the Constitution Act; they
have gone to their constituents, and they have been elected or rejected by the electors, who can judge them in
the light of the knowledge they have relating to their insolvency. They have not had their political careers
closed. If there had been such a law as this in operation, we should have had some of the wisest and best men
who ever guided public affairs in New South Wales shut out from public life. We should have had Ministries
destroyed, and men who through misfortune, which, perhaps, was largely attributable to the fact of their
holding positions in public life, would have had their careers of usefulness closed for ever. I invite honorable
members to pay attention to this aspect of the case. If you penalize politicians above all other men, what will
happen? Suppose there is one public man and nine or ten others who become guarantee for a very large sum
of money in connexion with some enterprise. We know that public men are often led into becoming
guarantors as directors of companies, and they become guarantors on account of advances made perhaps for
the purpose of pushing forward some enterprise which is practically for the development of some of the
resources of the colony. Such a provision as this would mean that because there is one man out of ten who
p81

has to do something more than pay the debt, who has to stand the risk of losing his position as a public man,
that man is put in a position to be black-mailed. You put him in a position where he alone can be pushed to an
extremity, and a clause of this character would be used by creditors, who might have the opportunity of
looking to half-a-dozen other men who have jointly become security on mortgages, bonds, or guarantees,
who will press that man alone, because they know that he is the only one against [start page 1933] whom
such a lever of destruction can be used as to deprive him of his position in public life. Honorable members
having been associated for many years with public life will know the bitterness which sometimes attaches to
political warfare. Is not this provision the means of putting a powerful instrument in the hands of
unscrupulous opponents? Such a thing would have been done in New South Wales over and over again if
such a provision as this had existed in the law. The career of some of the brightest and best intellects of the
public life of that colony would have been closed. It will be a misfortune to the Commonwealth if you brand
with the stigma of permanent displacement men who, by reason of their services to the country, have
neglected to serve their own interests. It has been one of the highest testimonies to the honesty of public men
in Australia that they have been poor men. It has, perhaps, been one of the greatest sacrifices that public life
has ever entailed in these colonies, where men of intellect, following their professions closely, or developing
the resources of the country, may easily make fortunes, that public men should have thrown aside all these
opportunities of advancing their own interests, and have devoted themselves to the interests of the country,
thereby very often bringing ruin upon themselves and their families. That is a story that could be related over
and over again with regard to the public men of Australia. After having faithfully served their country for
many years, most of them, perhaps, have to see in their declining years poverty coming upon themselves and
their families. Now, here it is proposed to place an additional penalty upon our public men who, perhaps,
have to seek the protection of the court through no fault of their own in nine cases out of ten. Having given up
his professional pursuits, and having attached himself for years or for a lifetime to political affairs, a
provision of this kind will place it in the hands of any creditor-a political opponent or otherwise-to absolutely
close the door against that man's future public career by forcing him into the Insolvency Court. The electors
of the country have a right to make their choice, and if they choose to be represented by a man who is
compelled by the necessities of his life to become bankrupt or insolvent, surely it is not our business to take
away that choice from them. A man may be guilty of a misdemeanour, he may have served a sentence of two
years for a misdemeanour, he may have been guilty of some disgraceful offence, yet, under this Bill, that man
can be elected. Yet it is proposed to stigmatize a man who may have to seek the protection of the Bankruptcy
Court through being a director of a mining company, or through being connected with some financial
institution which in boom time has flourished, and has then gone down, dragging others with it. You penalize
such a man more than a man who may have been guilty of a crime. This Bill will allow any drunkard or
vagabond in the community to be elected to Parliament; but you penalize beyond all these men a man who
has served his country too well and who has not served himself sufficiently well, neglecting his own affairs,
and thus allowed monetary embarrassment to fall upon him. I trust the Convention will strike out this subsection.

In my view when a persons has served his sentence than we should allow this person to try to
start a better life and ongoing publications, etc, will not likely going to improve matters. What
will be done is to add an additional sentence upon a person and by this taking the law into our
own hands.
No matter what once personal views might be about homosexuality, etc, we must accept that
once in an appropriate manner that is the provisions are altered/amended, if at all then we all
must accept this for so long it doesnt deny others their constitutional rights.
Currently a major issue is objectors to immunization because of the harm that resulted too many
children.my eldest son nearly died as result. Yet, to my knowledge no test is done if a child
might be allergic to any form of immunization. As such, immunization might be harmful to one
child but not another. Who really desires to play so to say Russian roulette with the health and
wellbeing of once child? Why not develop some test that can detect if a child is or might be
vulnerable regarding certain vaccinations, rather than to try to force parents to let their child to be
at risk? Prevention not only is better than a cure but could prevent numerous wrongly cited cot
deaths.
Likewise pedophilia should be addressed appropriately to seek to avoid it to happen as much as
reasonable possible. Yet, we have people entering Australia who may have no clue that the

what is required is proper education to avoid people unaware of the different standards to do
what they are accustomed to only then to end up with convictions.

There are countries where homosexuals can be openly vilified and harmed to the extent of being
killed. People from such countries may enter Australia and reside here unaware we have different
social standards and then our failure to educate them in the first place then could end up such a
person acting in what he/she belief it permissible only to end up in court. We need to provide a
better system of education/information to new comers. Promoting homosexual marriages but not
attending to the basics I view is only to likely escalate the problems already existing.

Christian bakery closes after LGBT threats, protests .... No they should just make them close up
shop for good or get into another line of work.
What is clear is that this is not just about recognition of homosexual marriages but forcing others
to act against their religious views. Ample of people never marry lawfully but they still have love
between them and have children. In fact in many countries where homosexual marriages is
permissible the rate of marriage is very low. As such from the many reports I read this is not
about love and equality of marriage but the marriage is a tool to terrorize others as to serve
homosexuals regardless of their personal beliefs. After all they so to say already have the
recognition of De Facto marriage and as such they gained considerable progress but that is not
what it appears to me they are after. It seems to me they want to be accepted and so basically
force people to accept their kind of lifestyle, etc.
This is like that a migrant settles in to Australia and then seek everyone else to be forced to
accept this person with Australian birth rights even so never born here.
What we have is that homosexuals demand as I understand it that children books are being rewritten that they no longer refer to mum and dad but to parents. This I understand is why many
are against homosexuals also because decades ago homosexuals would argue what we do in our
privacy is our business, but now they are flaunting it on the streets such as the Mardi Grass, etc,
to so to say shove it down the throats of others, but they wouldnt want this to be done to them
about heterosexuals!
I understand that politicians have been arguing they do not want a plebiscite because if this is
rejected it will put back for perhaps 25 years the homosexual marriage issue. I understood Mr
Bill Shorten to say so. Well, forcing upon society a minority view isnt democracy!
What if the Parliament were to vote upon a Homosexual Marriage Bill and it is voted down?
What if the Homosexual Marriage Bill were to be passed but then a successful challenge before
the High Court of Australia were to result in it being declared unconstitutional?
How stupid to call it a same sex issue when there are people who are neither claiming to be
male or female but non-gender. As such the so called Same sex marriage would leave them
out!
What I view it really amount to is a form of dictatorship upon the general community to accept
the conduct and intentions of a minority. That is not democracy but dictatorship and terrorism.
I as a constitutionalist and (now retired) Professional Advocate have represented lawyers in
litigation but I am not a legal practitioner and the mere fact I defeated opponent lawyers doesnt
mean that I can then claim equality to be recognized as a legal practitioner. I have my wealth
of knowledge and experiences and proud upon it. I wouldnt want to be and always resented
being compared as being a lawyer because it would imply I too might be some crook.

Likewise there are ample of homosexuals who live for decades in a stable relationship and do not
need nor want others to approve of their relationship as it is their and theirs alone. As such they
are not interested in any formal so called Same sex marriage issue because to them it merely
sidetracks and may even cause problems.
We can see this with people who are practicing Muslims. Even before the creation of the
federation called Commonwealth of Australia there were people living in Australia who were
practicing Muslims and in fact had their Mosque. They were blended into society because their
religion was their and theirs alone, and not offending anyone. However now fanatics claiming to
be practicing Muslims are causing terrorism all over and well are causing by this problems to
those who peacefully have been within our society.
We lack political leadership in this regard because if we had proper political leadership such
clashed and problems would have been avoided.
People who have their business destroyed because they refused to act contrary to their faith are
clear examples how this is not about love and equality but in my view rather oppression.
To me it is like the slaughter in countries where people were put to a choice to convert in religion
of be put to death.
It is the very conflict that the Framers of the Constitution pursued to be prevented by including
s116 in the constitution but we got appalling politicians who so to say would sell their
grandmothers grave if it were to have a possibility for a vote. They are not there to serve the
People but to serve their own selfish interest.
Any fair dinkum homosexual in my view would rather have this whole so called Same sex
marriage issue to go away and rather develop within society that they embrace homosexuals in
their own rights and so regardless it might take more time to achieve this.
What the so called same sex Marriage Bill would do is to entrench opponents even more and
wouldnt find the acceptance of many. It will not harmonize the general community but rather
may very well result in people coming to the forefront who will one day gain power to reverse
the lot and use the very methods now used by homosexuals in reverse.

those principles are enforced, will all have been the work of Australians.

the Gander, and so may use current Census and other records to round up all those involved in
homosexual activities and put them to death or otherwise deal with them.
Always be careful to what you are demanding as it so to say might bite your bum one day.
We have seen this with the con-job referendum of 1967 where nearly 50 years later Aboriginal
activist still are not satisfied with the result. It simply didnt work out. I refer to con-job
because as a CONSTITUTIONALIST I view this was what it was. The equality so demanded by
Aboriginals actually resulted to inequality. The unconstitutional Northern Territory Intervention
Act is but a clear example of this. I will not delve now into all the details because my already
published writings spills it all out in considerable details.

Again any reference to same sex marriage would exclude non-gender people!
What is same sex when we have non-gender people?

As such, Norrie would be limited to a marriage to a non-gender person?

Homosexuals are using politicians to gain their aim and so politicians likewise are using
homosexuals for their own aims. They might be strange bed fellows but then they might serve
each other even if the outcome might be fatal to both of them in the end.
As a CONSTITUTIONALIST my personal views are irrelevant to the true meaning and
application of the constitution. After all I grew up that all people were equal regardless of race,
skin colour, etc. However, the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) was
specifically created to DISCRIMINATE and as such NO Parliamentarian legislation can
override the embedded constitutional legal principles. The Aboriginals in the misconception to
gain equality wanted the 1967 referendum regarding Ss51(xxvi) to succeed and achieved this
when discovering in fact they lost the equality they had since federation but never understood
this to have been so. Two people of the same gender cannot and never will be equal to two
people of opposing gender, and no legal status can alter the way nature causes a person to be
born. No amount of legislation can cause a male who may have a gender alteration operation to
have a womb and give birth to a child. As such you can change the identity and the physical
appearance of a person but you cannot change the natural being of the person in that regard.
Likewise a woman cannot father a child! All this campaigning by homosexuals seems to me to
be counterproductive and cause a resentment amongst others who might not have had an issue
with homosexuality but resent being forced to accept standards and conduct not being their own.
Politicians should to engage in secret deals as the electors voted and are entitled to know
what their representatives are about, as to Plebiscite or otherwise.
When Mr (Backdown) Barnaby Joyce first stood for election he as I understood it was against the
sale of Telstra, but then once elected seemed to agree to the sale of Telstra. As such electors who
relied upon his election policy were so to say conned. As such where for example electors in
Murray voted for the national candidate rather than the Liberal candidate (Plebiscite) they are
entitled to know if Mr (Backdown) Barnaby Joyce is pulling another trick on them and now has
some nice cozy deal going on where it will violate the election policy put to them!
Hence, they and others are entitled to know the precise Coalition agreement in place.
