If we ask our politicians to give us a bill of rights, they will ignore such a request, so we must demand and campaign for a bill of rights collectively and put it in operation ourselves “we the people.” Solutions to gather votes are either face-to-face interactions or through social media. With face-to-face interactions could be but are not limited to such as events and rallies. The people are given a legal leaflet to vote, and with a certain number of signatures, the legal documents can be recognized and heard through parliament. This approach same applies digitally. Other approaches are accepted for a fair voting system that doesn’t jeopardize privacy and safety of the voter and to make these documents legal is section 128 of the original Australian constitution by referenda.

Australian Constitution Section 128

Our Constitution may be altered only with the APPROVAL OF THE PEOPLE at a Referendum.

The Constitution of Australia is the supreme law under which the Australian Commonwealth Government operates.  The Constitution consists of several documents and the most important one is the "Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia."  The Constitution was approved in referendums held over 1898 to 1900 by the people of the Australian colonies and the approved draft was enacted as a section of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.  The Commission of Assent was signed by Queen Victoria on 9 July 1900, upon which the Constitution became law.  The Constitution came into force on 1 January 1901.  Even though the Constitution was originally given legal force by an Act of the United Kingdom parliament, the Australia Acts removed the power of the United Kingdom parliament to change the Constitution and only the Australian people can amend it (by referendum).

Other pieces of legislation have constitutional significance for Australia.  These are the Statute of Westminster, as adopted by the Commonwealth in the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942 and the Australia Act 1986, which was passed in equivalent forms by the Parliaments of every Australian state, the United Kingdom, and the Australian Federal Parliament.  Together, these Acts had the effect of severing all constitutional links between Australia and the United Kingdom.  Even though the same person, Queen Elizabeth II, is the monarch of both countries she acts in a distinct capacity as monarch of each.

Under Australia's common law system, the High Court of Australia and the Federal Court of Australia have the authority to interpret constitutional provisions. Their decisions determine the interpretation and application of the constitution.  [Ref: Wikipedia]

AUSTRALIA'S NWO PROTECTION:  OUR CONSTITUTION
Sir David Smith explains how most Australians don't know Australia has a written Constitution and the Constitution is an inbuilt safeguard that ensures any government that seeks to change the Australian Constitution, must first get the approval of the Australian Public as outlined in Section 128 of the Australian Constitution.

Australia has a Constitution which gives Australian people the right to vote on major changes to Australia through Referendums (More on this further below).

Section 128:  Australian Constitution Section 128 “Our Constitution may be altered only with the APPROVAL OF THE PEOPLE at a Referendum.”

We acknowledge Mike Holt of CIRNow (formerly Restore Australia), for allowing us permission to use his article below on Section 128 of the Australian Constitution:

- Beginning Quote -

This is Section 128 of the 1901 Constitution that we want to change so that We the People have the power to achieve the Australia we want.

The change we are advocating is to amend Section 128 of the current Constitution by adding a paragraph to allow Citizens (as well as the Parliament), the right to initiate referenda to change the Constitution. At present, only our elected representatives in the House can initiate referendums. Then they allow the people to vote on them.

Ever since the constitution came into being in 1901 there have been 45 referendums, yet only 8 have been approved by the people.

The change to Section 128 of the Constitution we are advocating would then be as shown below with the changes in bold type.

Note: 1% of eligible voters equates to about 140,000 signatures.

ALTERATION of the CONSTITUTION

Section 128;  This Constitution shall not be altered except in the following manner:

By the People.

Any elector or group of electors vote for the election of the House of Representatives may initiate a proposal to change this Constitution by submitting a Petition to the Governor General.  The Petition shall include the proposed alteration of this Constitution.  On receipt of such a Petition signed by not less than one per cent of the electors qualified to vote for the election of the House of Representatives, and verified by the Electoral Commissioner, the Governor-General shall within three months submit the proposal to referendum.

By the Parliament.

A proposed law by the Parliament for the alteration thereof must be passed by an absolute majority of each House of the Parliament, and not less than two nor more than six months after its passage through both Houses.  The proposed law shall be submitted in each State and Territory to the electors qualified to vote for the election of members of the House of Representatives.

Also, if either House passes any such proposed law by an absolute majority, and the other House rejects or fails to pass it, or passes it with any amendment to which the first-mentioned House will not agree.  Then if after an interval of three months the first-mentioned House in the same or the next session again passes the proposed law by an absolute majority with or without any amendment which has been made or agreed to by the other House, and such other House rejects or fails to pass it or passes it with any amendment to which the first-mentioned House will not agree.  The Governor-General may submit the proposed law as last proposed by the first-mentioned House, and either with or without any amendments subsequently agreed to by both Houses, to the electors in each State and Territory qualified to vote for the election of the House of Representatives.

When a proposed law is submitted to the electors the vote shall be taken in such manner as the Parliament prescribes. But until the qualification of electors of members of the House of Representatives becomes uniform throughout the Commonwealth, only one-half the electors voting for and against the proposed law shall be counted in any State in which adult suffrage prevails.

And if in a majority of the States a majority of the electors voting approve the proposed law, and if a majority of all the electors voting also approve the proposed law, it shall be presented to the Governor-General for the Queen’s assent.

No alteration diminishing the proportionate representation of any State in either House of the Parliament, or the minimum number of representatives of a State in the House of Representatives, or increasing, diminishing, or otherwise altering the limits of the State, or in any manner affecting the provisions of the Constitution in relation thereto, shall become law unless the majority of the electors voting in that State approve the proposed law.

In this section, Territory means any territory referred to in section one hundred and twenty-two of this Constitution in respect of which there is in force a law allowing its representation in the House of Representatives.

Citizens Initiated Referenda (CIR), giving Australians the opportunity to have their say and bring about change.

One Nation Party is promoting the Citizens Initiated Referenda (CIR), giving Australians the opportunity to have their say and bring about change without waiting for politicians to listen and act.

Restore Australia has substantial detail about ideas on giving power to the people.  The founders of Restore Australia aim to amend Section 128 of the Australian Constitution to put the power into the hands of the people to start referendums. Bringing in Citizens Initiated Referendums (CIR) would allow Australian voters to decide on the type of government it wants, and make politicians directly accountable to the people.  The links to these pages are listed below. 

Section 128 of the Constitution

Promote Citizen Initiative Referenda (CIR) in Country

Political parties do not represent people's rights, so we must start to promote (CIR) Citizens Initiative all over the World

Support CIR as a way of allowing all electors to have a direct say in government decision-making. Our present system of government only allows political parties the right to decide for the rest of us.

 Promote CIR in your country and remove political parties and We the People govern the country.

Switzerland Citizen Initiated Referenda (CIR)

Citizens Initiative Referendas ( CIR ) For We the people.

Switzerland's System of Direct Democracy
Switzerland is a confederation made up of 26 cantons which are small territorial divisions of the country.  The Swiss Government, Parliaments, and Courts operate on three levels:  Federal, Cantonal and Communal.

Federally, Switzerland has a two level federal parliament with a House of Representatives that represent the people and a senate that represents the federal cantons.  There are several systems which can be implemented under a Canon Law system.  For example, a police force could be appointed by the people and work for the people, instead of just representing the government, and a Supreme Court, as outlined above.

Australian Constitution Forbids anyone who bears allegiance to a foreign nation from sitting in Parliament.

 The Australian parliament does not inforce this law and sllec group has too much power over the Australia.

 The following quote from Electoral Backgrounder:  Parliamentary report on Section 44 of the Constitution

"Section 44 of the Constitution forbids anyone who bears allegiance to a foreign nation from sitting in Parliament, otherwise, it is considered treason.  We believe that any political parties or politicians who seek to destroy the country through third world immigration, the destruction of manufacturing, industry, and farming etc have COMMITTED TREASON under Section 44 of the Constitution."

What is Section 44?

"Section 44 of the Constitution sets out restrictions on who can be a candidate for Federal parliament.  In full it reads:

44. Any person who -

     (i.)   Is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power:  or

     (ii.)  Is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offense punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer:  or

     (iii.)  Is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent:  or

     (iv.)  Holds any office of profit under the Crown, or any pension payable during the pleasure of the Crown out of any of the revenues of the Commonwealth:  or

    (v.)  Has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company consisting of more than twenty-five persons:  shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives.

But sub-section iv. does not apply to the office of any of the Queen's Ministers of State for the Commonwealth, or of any of the Queen's Ministers for a State, or to the receipt of pay, half pay, or a pension, by any person as an officer or member of the Queen's navy or army, or to the receipt of pay as an officer or member of the naval or military forces of the Commonwealth by any person whose services are not wholly employed by the Commonwealth.  [Ref:  Section 44 of the Constitution E-Brief: Online Only issued March 2004; Ian Holland]"

Australian Equity act

The following quote from Australian equity act

https://www.ag.gov.au/rights-and-protections/human-rights-and-anti-discrimination/human-rights-scrutiny/public-sector-guidance-sheets/rights-equality-and-non-discrimination.  Rights of equality and non-discrimination

What are the rights of equality and non-discrimination?

"Equality affirms that all human beings are born free and equal. Equality presupposes that all individuals have the same rights and deserve the same level of respect. All people have the right to be treated equally. This means that laws, policies and programs should not be discriminatory, and also that public authorities should not apply or enforce laws, policies and programs in a discriminatory or arbitrary manner.

Non-discrimination is an integral part of the principle of equality. It ensures that no one is denied their rights because of factors such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property or birth. In addition to those grounds, discrimination on certain other grounds may also be prohibited. These grounds include age, nationality, marital status, disability, place of residence within a country and sexual orientation.

Sometimes it may be necessary to treat people differently to achieve equality. This is because differences between people may make it difficult for them to enjoy their rights without support. Different treatment may not amount to prohibited discrimination if the criteria for the differentiation are reasonable and objective and if the aim is to achieve a purpose which is legitimate under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The right to equality and non-discrimination encompasses both positive and negative obligations - the obligation to refrain from discriminating or eroding equality and the obligation to protect and advance the fulfilment and enjoyment of the rights to equality and non-discrimination for all people."

Where do rights of equality an

Equality Laws

Equality Law: In the pass, we were innocent till proven guilty, the law now has been changed, now you’re guilty and you have to prove your innocence.

Race Equality

Equality to all different races as special races by change the word from Human Race to Human Races to give respect to all races on the planet.

Indigenous Rights For All Races All Over The World.

United Nations Indigenous Laws Declaration, Article 26 states that
"indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories, and resources they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired. Entire country."

The majority of the world's population are indigenous to the lands they live on or their ancestor homelands, for example, the Chinese are indigenous to China, the Black population of North Western Africa are indigenous to that region, Whites Caucasians are indigenous to Europe and Arab Caucasians are indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa.  The United Nations indigenous laws should give equal rights to all racial groups that are the original inhabitants who lived in the region for thousands of years.

Equality Rights for Cultural or Racial homogeneous Populations

The following qoate from: International Encyclopedia of Human Geography (Second Edition), 2020

"Inasmuch as cultural homogeneity is valued, along with a strong identity and confidence in the continuation of traditional patterns of language, custom, value, lifestyle, and standard of living, immigrants may be perceived as intruders and outsiders who can threaten the process of creation and evolution of nation-states ".

When a population of people become the majority are homogeneous on inhabited regions once before is the indigenous people of that land, but now the majority are homogeneous, those homogeneity people should still have rights to some land, which prolongs self-determination. 

 Japan Western China, Australia, Newzealand, South America.

 Remove Political Parties

Most people know political parties do not represent people and they start many wars. We much learn from George Washington who fort against English ruling America, and helped The United States becoming a independent nation.

 

"Either you will control your government, or government will control you.
- Ronald Reagan"

It is clear that politicians do not represent the people and the current conservative political system in western countries is not working.  They enact party policies without voter consultation, which has resulted in a dictatorial socialist system of government that denies We The People a voice that represents us in the mainstream media and in government. The power of a political institution should come from the power of its people.  We, therefore, need a better, inclusive system of government to serve the needs of all our nations to represent us. 

The system of direct democracy is one for strong consideration, such as that used in Switzerland.

Change must start at the grassroots level because political parties rarely listen to the people and we some good example of bad government.

Policial parties promote the following:

Agenda 21 is a program run by the United Nations to gain control of all land and countries under the guise of "sustainable development". It is a part of the New World Order program and universal government approach that they have been working on for a number of years. Agenda 21 has now been superseded by Agenda 2030 (see below).  The promotion of Agenda 21 is a way to ensure the destruction of all private property ownership, including farms, houses, and business and to reduce world population.  It will remove and destroy all constitutions, restrict free speech and disarm the people.  When Agenda 21 is fully realized the United Nations will be in possession of all guns and subsequently there will be no opposition to their control.

Truth Is Treason In An Empire Of Lies

 The United Nation law on persecution, I quote:

"Everyone has the right to enjoy freedom from persecution."

During history every race Blacks, Asians, Whites Gentiles and white Jews have been persecuted.

Genocide Rights

United Nations Treaty: Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide I quote:

“…acts committed with the intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national ethnic, racial or religious group…”

Many Governments all over the world use the media, and anti-People organizations are campaigning and some promote genocide by man-made diseases, wars, false flags, mind condition, Whites, Blacks, Asians by reducing their birth rates and taking their rights away, flooding their countries with non natives, and promotion of interracial marriage.

What is discrimination?

The law protects everyone from unfair discrimination and sexual harassment in many aspects of their lives. If you are treated unfairly because you happen to belong to a particular group of people, you have been discriminated against and you have the right to lodge a complaint.

United Nations International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination I quote:

" Considering that all human beings are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection of the law against any discrimination and against any incitement to discrimination"

The law protects everyone from unfair discrimination and sexual harassment in many aspects of their lives. If you are treated unfairly because you happen to belong to a particular group of people, you have been discriminated against and you have the right to lodge a complaint.

If Blacks, Asians, and Whites Caucasians campaigned against their genocide and the destruction of their culture, and their nation, they are labeled as racist.  When they disagree openly with affirmative action and busing, this is considered racism and bigotry.  The United Nations are breaking their own laws.

United Nations Indigenous Laws Declaration I quote:

"indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired. Entire country."

The majority of the world's population are indigenous to the lands they preside over.  For example, the Chinese are indigenous to  Eastern China, the Black population of North Western Africa are indigenous to that region, Whites are indigenous to Europe and White Arab are indigenous to the Middle East and areas of North Africa.

The United Nations indigenous laws should give equal rights to all racial groups who are the original inhabitants who have lived in the region for thousands of years. 

 Elected Police Chief in each state.

Sheriff In The United States Are Elected by the people.

What Do Our Elected Officials Do? I quote:

"Sheriffs are charged with preservation of peace and also serve legal documents. They are officers of the County Court transporting inmates to and from prison or jail to Court. Every county in Vermont has a Sheriff’s Department. Towns without police departments often contract with the Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement. Most sheriffs are certified law enforcement officers. They have a four-year term ".

To help you understand what the duties of a sheriff is, let’s say, for example you have a sheriff is a head of all the police departments in the state of victory and he is given a order by the primer to restrict rally’s, to invade people’s homes, to abuse people’s rights, he can say to the premiere I am elected by the people to be their police representative for four years, I will follow the rules of the constitution. Therefore I will not order police to restrict rallies and restrict people’s right to assemble and free speech, and the state and the federal government will not have any right to force the sheriff not to follow the Consitution.

The policials have control of the police and use police to control t we the people and we need to to some powers on the police by elected Sheriff to controll the police in each State by police standing for election every for years.

The Federal and state governments have control of the police and use police to control the republic and we need to have some powers working with the police to make some laws and by elected Sheriff to control the police in each state by Senior Police Officer standing for election every four years.

 Any policeman can summit in policies and ideas to improve the laws and the majority of people must vote on.

The People's Bank

People's Banking (needs fixing)

The commonwealth bank in Australia past in the past was  sometimes referred to as the people's bank; it was sold off by the Australian government, without permission of the Australian people.  In each country, the people should have their own bank, were the majority of the people and members of the public should be elected for a period to be a commission adviser to the bank. The people should elect the head of the bank for four years.

A few people do not realize that the commonwealth bank of Australia paid for the cost of the Australian government fighting for the second world war, and after the war was over, Australia had no debt.

 

The people's media

We need to remove the Globalists race haters from controlling the mainstream media, internet, and to make changes. We need to build community-based organizations and build national, international media, TV & newspaper, and social media to represent we the people. Written in the bill of rights will have a fair game in these platforms. 

We need to break the monopolies of Alphabet Inc, and we need to set up national and regigion social sites that we the people control by the majority vote we a elected ceo who will stand for four years. 

We the people need to have media, Internet, television, radio, and newspapers run and owned by "we the people". We need to nationalize some of the large media companies and hand them over to "we the people" to run. We all have a say through referenda explaining exactly what we want to see promoted in the media, and we have a commission where members of the public are elected to a commission to advise the media, ceo, who was also elected for four years to be the representative of we the people. 

 The ABC and SBS are are  governemt financed and need to we the run.

 

 

 

 

U.S. Bill of Rights

On September 25, 1789, Congress transmitted to the state Legislatures twelve proposed amendments to the Constitution. Numbers three through twelve were adopted by the states to become the United States (U.S.) Bill of Rights, effective December 15, 1791.

James Madison proposed the U.S. Bill of Rights. It largely responded to the Constitution's influential opponents, including prominent Founding Fathers, who argued that the Constitution should not be ratified because it failed to protect the basic principles of human liberty. The U.S. Bill of Rights was influenced by George Mason's 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights, the 1689 English Bill of Rights, works of the Age of Enlightenment pertaining to natural rights, and earlier English political documents such as the Magna Carta (1215).

Two additional articles were proposed to the States; only the final ten articles were ratified quickly and correspond to the First through Tenth Amendments to the Constitution. The first Article, dealing with the number and apportionment of U.S. Representatives, never became part of the Constitution. The second Article, limiting the ability of Congress to increase the salaries of its members, was ratified two centuries later as the 27th Amendment. Though they are incorporated into the document known as the "Bill of Rights", neither article establishes a right as that term is used today. For that reason, and also because the term had been applied to the first ten amendments long before the 27th Amendment was ratified, the term "Bill of Rights" in modern U.S. usage means only the ten amendments ratified in 1791.

The United States Bill of Rights plays a central role in American law and government, and remains a fundamental symbol of the freedoms and culture of the nation. One of the original fourteen copies of the U.S. Bill of Rights is on public display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

Read the Bill of Rights:
