| On 20 June 1899, 519,374 Australians (162,458 Victorians),
voted at a referendum to accept the Australian Constitution. (The population
of Australia at that time, excluding aboriginal persons, was approximately
3,800,000). The Constitution thus became a document that authorised the
Australian Parliament to be created. At the same time the Constitution became
a document that defined and limited the power of the Federal Parliament
of Australia. It is a fact that the Australian Parliament only exists because the majority of electors in ALL of the States agreed to it being formed. It is a fact that the only authority that our parliament has, is the authority that the electors grant it. It is a fact that Australian electors are sovereign over their parliaments. It is a fact that the body of the electors in an electorate comprise the Electors’ Parliament of that electorate. It is a fact that the Electors Parliament elects their Member to represent their will in one of the various Members Parliaments such as the State or Federal parliaments or local council. The Electors Parliament elects all the Members Parliaments. The Electors Parliament is sovereign over all of the Members Parliaments.. It is a fact, that when the will of the Electors Parliament is determined by referendum or by mandate as either wanting a particular law enacted or wanting a particular law removed, then the government and the courts are legally bound to obey that will. It is a fact that there has never been an election or referendum in which 100% of electors entitled to vote, have voted. The will of the electorate has always been determined from the sample of those electors who have voted. If the Members Parliament (government) or the courts refuse to act on the will of the Electors Parliament as determined by referendum, they are automatically acting outside their authority. The people are therefore legally exempt from the law in question. It does not matter who or what organisation determines the will of the electors but only that the will of electors has been accurately and properly determined. The members comprising our various Members Parliaments have been derelict in their duty to discover the will of the Electors Parliament and to decide laws accordingly. Worse the Members have created laws directly against the will of the electors. Many of these laws have no moral or ethical foundations. To whom do we turn when the Members Parliament and the courts break the law? The electors.. It is the electors who ultimately have power to try Acts passed by parliament and it is the electors who may adjudge them valid or invalid. It is the duty of the elected members to determine the will of the electorate they serve and to act and pass legislation in accordance to that will. It is the duty of the electors to ensure the elected member is representing and passing legislation according to their will. VOICE of Australia will conduct Referenda to establish the will of the electorate on matters of importance. Australians have always had this option available to them but have not used it in the past. However the situation is now serous. Politicians can no longer be trusted to act in our best interests. Political parties are undemocratic. Royal Inquiries, petitions and protests are futile. We cannot any longer leave it to politicians to decide for us what we want. It is up to us to tell them what we want and what they must do. VOICE of Australia has set the new standard for polling. To our knowledge we are the first in the world with these initiatives. Neither the Australian Electoral Commission nor any of the State or Territory electoral commissions practice what we preach. Some of our improvements are 1. Ballot papers are in triplicate. For the first time in our history Voters receive a copy of their vote. 2. Voters, after being marked off the electoral roll, must sign a ledger to receive their ballot. 3. Ballots are numerically numbered in sequence and pens, not pencils, are used to mark ballots. Remember, it is the electors who elect our parliament and it is the electors who give to our elected members various powers limited by the Australian Constitution, to represent us and act on our behalf in our best interest. We give them permission to only create laws, infrastructure and social systems that serve and benefit us and that foster our democracy, social stability, well being and which will increase our standard of living. We are not servants of our laws, infrastructure and social systems. Our founding fathers did not ever intend for us to be in any way shackled or burdened by such creations. Such servitude betrays the freedom of our human spirit and the founding principles of our democracy. We give permission to politicians to only create laws that serve us, we do not serve the law. At the foundation of all good laws there is the spirit of the law. The spirit of the law overrules the letter of the law. Our parliament and courts have seemingly forgotten or are deliberately transgressing these important principles |
