Most interesting, Peter V.
Are there any legal channels to rectify this so we have the 'cleanest' legal system?

The separation of Church and State has become the catchcry of the conmen and women refusing to let anyone fix the system. I am declared vexatious in four jurisdictions because I have been trying for nearly twenty years to find an honest Judge. In point of fact we are all compulsory members of two State Churches, one called the Australian Government and the other from whatever State we live in, and the Priests of this unholy Church are the lawyers of Australia. Just like the Church on the Continent of Europe perpetrated the grossest unhumanities on the populations there, so too are the State Churches. It is not just the Electoral Commission thinks it is Almighty God but a whole raft of bureaucracies. One in particular that is very rotten indeed is the Insolvency and Trustee Service of Australia. It changed its name, to the Australian Financial Services Authority but a rotten apple still smells rotten, no matter what it is called.

I believe the real reason Julia Gillard, a lawyer stepped in and assassinated Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister was because he was actually about to reform the Australian Government Church, and reintroduce the separation of powers abolished by the High Court in 1952 on Menzies watch. There has been a persistent and not too dishonest person somewhere in the Parl;iamentary draftsmans ranks, whose work has been approved by the Parliament of the Commonwealth but ignored by the Cult that actually governs Australia. To protect the integrity of the Judicial Process in the Commonwealth the Parliament of the Commonwealth enacted S 42 and 43 Crimes Act 1914, ( Cth) and made it a crime carrying five years imprisonment to attempt to pervert the course of justice and the Parliament under Rudd increased that to ten years imprisonment. All Judges and Magistrates in Australia should be terrified.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has been declared enacted in the Criminal Code Act 1995 and Evidence Act 1995 and is Schedule 2 to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act 1986. No lawyer will accept it is law.
