As some of us are aware The Australian Constitution has been treated with contempt by political parties and Governments.

What are you opinions regarding this.

Should we stand and fight or just let them do as they please.

Hi Tapp. Welcome to the 21 century. Can I ask you a question! How many people even know what the contents are concerning the constitution?

I believe the majority don't even give it a second thought.

col rouge. Can I give you a reference on what i mean. Multiculturalism! People from other countries that now live here, have their own homeland Constitutions well breed in them since child hood. If you were to go ask someone in lets say, Chinatown in Sydney, and ask them to quote just some of the Australian constitution, I hope your not too disappointed with the reflection of blank faces.

Dear Evo,

You don't have to go to Chinatown in Sydney.
Ask any of your Australian neighbours or friends
the words to our National Anthem, and see how many of
them know the words to say the second verse.

Ask how many know where the name "Australia" derives
from. How many of them know that Australia has three
official flags, or what we celebrate on Australia Day
every year. Would any of them know what Australian
values are or what's on the Coat of Arms...

This is our land, our nation, but how many of us,
simply take it for granted? Don't blame
multiculturalism - let's look at all of us.

Lets have a look at the nsw constitution act of 1902.

Is it constitutional or just a fairytale.

Did the government send it to the people as a referendum.

NO

So what are the repercussions to this.

No laws have been constitutional since 1902.

The framers of the constitution made it quite clear in the debates that the constitutions before federation came into effect could be changed but once federation came about all constitutional change required a referendum.
