Reminds me of a lecture I had once at university where the guest lecturer told us how 52 per cent of the AIDS cases in Africa were women and this made AIDS a gender issue. Too bad for the 48 per cent of males who had the virus.

Part 1

I AM NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT THAT I WAS IMPRISONED FOR 3 WEEKS, COURTESY OF THE FAMILY COURT OF AUSTRALIA, in 1994, refusing to comply to their unconstitutional court orders.
Afterwards, when it was discovered the orders were unconstitutional, the State then passed laws backdating by 10 years to purportedly make the unconstitutional court order legal. Not that it did, as the original orders were made 10½ years earlier!

My daughter, now an adult, recently again made clear, she greatly respected that I stood up for her rights (I cared for her since she was 1 year old) even so I ended up in prison! But, that is another long story.

Now, I for one (a male) would not want to see any person, male or female to be incarcerated without their constitutional rights for DUE PROCESS OF LAW.

Why argue about females to be released from detention centres if the detention in the first place is unconstitutional?

See also my 30 September 2003 published book;

INSPECTOR-RIKATI® on CITIZENSHIP
A book on CD about Australians unduly harmed.
ISBN 0-9580569-6-X

DUE PROCESS OF LAW (Hansard 17-4-1897) means that not a single person can be detained/deported without a court order of a State Court.

With the Tampa incident, then already I warned that other people, including Australian nationals soon or later would likewise be detained/deported. Well Vivian Solon already was, as we later discovered!

If I was in power this very moment then by the unconstitutional laws in force I could “technically” imprison any person in the Commonwealth of Australia as a “non-citizen”, this as Australian nationality has got nothing to do with “citizenship”!
As like the Cross Vesting Act was unconstitutional so is the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 for so far it pursues to define/declare “citizenship”!

On 2-3-1898, the Delegates to the Constitution Convention Debates warned of the dangers to give the Commonwealth of Australia any powers to define/declare citizenship and voted against giving it this power and made clear that “citizenship” was for the States and in their legislative powers

Part 2

Once a person obtained State citizenship then the person automatically obtains Commonwealth citizenship (Australian citizenship).

Unless and until we appropriately pursue constitutional rights, we do no more but cloud the waters, so to say, and do not for one of iota assist those wrongly detained/deported.

“Citizenship” involves a persons political rights, including franchise, which is beyond the constitutional powers of the Commonwealth of Australia.

I am due to publish in October also;

INSPECTOR-RIKATI® on CITIZENSHIP & Why not voting
A book on CD about ELECTORAL AND CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS
ISBN 0-9751760-1-3

This follow up exposes facts from fiction!

Regardless of being man, women or child, without State Court order no person should be detained/deported!

Why should a man be denied to be released, even if the full time carer of a child, because of being of the male gender?

We should not harp upon gender, but we should pursue at great length pursue the legal validity of unconstitutional detention/deportation!

If DUE PROCESS OF LAW was applied many if not most people would never be detained, let alone deported.

Children born to refugees are Australian nationals by birth, but unconstitutionally deported as “Stateless”.

To accept people being deported as Stateless to get them out of detention is the wrong thing to do where in fact they are Australian nationals by birth, regardless what the Commonwealth of Australia may pretend otherwise.

Those fighting for the release of refugees may just play in the hands of the government to ignore their real legal rights in the process!

As I have set out in my books extensively, ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION is a nonsense, and unconstitutional, regardless what the spin-doctor judges of the High Court of Australia may pretend otherwise!
Only State Courts can enforce Commonwealth law against any person who is subject to Commonwealth law! And, the State Courts can nullify Commonwealth law that is deemed unreasonable!
If just this was more acknowledged by all!

I wish on no person to be unconstitutionally imprisoned, after all I know what it is about!

Let no one suffer unduly detention/deportation!

I believe there are more internet sites coming on line in Australia. This will be a short post, keeping within the forum guidelines, about bi-polar disorder--anticipating an increase in sites.
__________________________
Readers interested in my bi-polar story in short segments can go to the NAMI site, the National Alliance on Mental Illness>Consumers Section>Posting 18/7/06.

Interested readers should go to the internet site HealthyPlace.com Forums. The bi-polar section at that site has a 22 part outline under “My Story” which places my experience of bi-polar disorder in a larger autobiographical context of several hundred pages. Readers may find this an excellent site for relevant information of a number of disorders, mental and otherwise.-Ron Price, Tasmania

I have a file of detailed notes on doctors’ visits, various treatments for various problems and background information. It is a file I opened in 1999 on my retirement to assist me in treating myself for particular medical problems that arise. But I have not commented on them here. The focus in this short account is on my bi-polar problem and some ancillary difficulties.
