It appears from this video
and many other coverage notes regarding your swearing in as Prime minister,
that you a have not complied with the constitutional requirements to sit in
your position as prime minister, it would also appear from even brief research,
you are one of many members of parliament who have ignored section 42 of our
constitution.
Note” Members: oath of allegiance
Mr NEWTON-BROWN
(Prahran) --
Victoria having just been visited by Prince William, it is timely for us to
reflect on this Parliament's relationship with the Crown. The Victorian
constitution requires us to swear allegiance to the Crown before we are able to
serve in this Parliament. I remind members of the exact wording. We swear that
we will 'be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty and Her Majesty's
heirs and successors according to law'. There is no mention of our allegiance
to the people of Victoria, whom we represent on a day-to-day basis in this
house.
As Australia is not a republic and continues to be part of the
commonwealth, it is my view that it is appropriate that allegiance be sworn to
the Crown before any member may legally take his or her seat, as confirmed by Mr. Brown.
Section 46; Until the Parliament
otherwise provides, any person declared by this Constitution to be incapable of
sitting as a senator or as a member of the House of Representatives shall, for
every day on which he so sits, be liable to pay the sum of one hundred pounds
to any person who sues for it in any court of competent jurisdiction.
I there fore ask that you consider an out of
court settlement rather than waste our high courts precious time, considering
the law is very clear on this matter.
Pro rated to current monitory standards, 100
pounds in today value would exceed $3,700
per day, a rather large amount of money, my wide and I run a native
animal sanctuary which is very expensive to maintain, with the decline in
retail sales, an out of court settlement, may at this early stage be
entertained.
I am unaware if this amount would incur
taxation, there fore further backing my position to entertain an out of court
settlement.
“COMMONWEALTH
OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT - SECT 3
Salary of Governor-General
There shall be payable to the Queen out of the Consolidated Revenue fund of the
Commonwealth, for the salary of the Governor‑General, an annual sum which,
until the Parliament otherwise provides, shall be ten thousand pounds.The salary of a Governor‑General shall not be altered during his continuance in
office.”
If for some reason I am
unaware of a referendum that has changed the terms of the constitution backing
your position, could you please provide details, or in the case you believe you
have a defense to the matter raised.
