When all other States including the Commonwealth, which is a Federal State, followed suit and abolished that right, civil jurisdiction ceased to be a way that bad laws could be tried and tested, and if illegal thrown out. The entity or court that could disallow bad laws was a court constituted as a Court of Judicature. Such a court until 1970 offered four different methods of trial, one of which was jury trial, and a jury on the trial of a feigned issue, could rule as a fact that a Statute was not Constitutional. Since then Parliaments, and we have nine of them have been like wild cattle, or a young man spreading wild oats, and there are enormous conflicts between some State Laws and their Federal Counterparts, and if the Statute Book was a garden it’s full of weeds.
You all know I am a Christian, and the original Rules were that if it was against Biblical Teachings a Statute was illegal. The Rules made since 1970, no longer allow this argument to be advanced, and Australia is the poorer for it. Almighty God is a patient God, and often leaves stupid humans for periods of up to forty years to stew over their errors. Another significant period Biblically is seven and seventy. It will be forty years in 2010 since New South Wales abolished jury trials as of right. It is twelve years since the High Court said this is illegal. In 2006 the High Court confirmed again it is illegal and again in 2007.
The dollars that the State no longer collects from its sinning citizens who break Statute Law, are part of the reason they are perpetually short of money. When lawyers are obliged to obey the law, States prosper.
