many australians think they are citizens, like other ozzies. but i think all ozzies are subjects of the crown, represented by the governor general. there is a fundamental difference between citizen and subject, although most ozzies refuse to consider this distinction.

if the federal constitution is the fundamental law of the land, then the gg is master of the nation. if the constitution is an empty document,and the nation is ruled by a 'prime minister' nowhere established in law, then the laws of the land are simply a 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' figleaf over rule by politicians who are no more legitimate than bandits.

what is the political status of anyone, in a land that treats it's own law with contempt?

The government makes people believe we are subjects of the crown as they themselves are sworn in under that banner.(which by international law makes them foreign agents. There is no Australian Constitution,as it was never created by Australians for Australians.The constitution we believe is ours is in fact an "act of the British parliament" adopted as such!

As a “constitutionalist” I am concerned as to the true intentions of the Framers of the constitution without political interpretation.
At federation, Aboriginals who had “citizenship” (this includes franchise) were able to vote in the first Federal election in 1901. They were deemed equal to other Australians. Australians are those residing in the continent Australia. “Citizenship” is a political status and not a “nationality” as Australians born or naturalised are and remain to be “Subject of the British Crown” as that is embedded in the constitution. Nut the political spin of the government pretends otherwise.
While the legislation stated voting is compulsory, I succeeded after a 5-year legal battle in court on all constitutional grounds that compulsory voting is unconstitutional, and I refuse to vote, despite being a candidate in elections. The court upheld this to be correct!

On 27-5-2007 the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal DOOMSDAY of the holding of the 1967 referendum I published

INSPECTOR-RIKATI® on IR WorkChoices Legislation (Book-CD)
A Book about the Validity of the High Courts 14-11-2006 Decision
ISBN 978-0-9751760-6-1

This book sets out how the Aboriginals were robbed of their “CITIZENSHIP” and no longer are equal amongst other Australians.
Legislation only can rob them of equality, and cannot give them equality that they already had prior to the 1967 con-job referendum.

Go to my website http://www.schorel-hlavka.com and use my email address shown there and I can send out FREE OF CHARGE a Chapter of the book. This posting would not allow for the extensive set out you need.

As Aboriginals are, so to say, “non-citizens” we may now have the Federal government deporting them all, as they do at times with other Australians, disregarding what is constitutionally appropriate.

By the way, constitutionally the "Union Jack" is our national flag and "God save the Queen" our national anthem and should be played on all formal occasions! Just few people are aware of this.

Thank you for all the points and information given! I truly appreciate them, and will try to make the best out of these information for my research.
