Here’s an interesting factoid that I never thought to check, until this morning.
Ever wondered why it is that, on the occasion that new MP’s, senators, cabinet ministers, and/or Prime Ministers are “sworn in”, your TV may show you moving images of the ceremony, but never the sound-in-full?
From the Australian Constitution Part IV, section 42:
Oath or affirmation of allegiance
Every senator and every member of the House of Representatives shall before taking his seat make and subscribe before the Governor‑General, or some person authorised by him, an oath or affirmation of allegiance in the form set forth in the schedule to this Constitution.
And what does that schedule to the Constitution require?
OATH
I, A.B. , do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law.
SO HELP ME GOD!
AFFIRMATION
I, A.B. , do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law.
(NOTE: The name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being is to be substituted from time to time.)
Just sayin’ ….
Barnaby Is Right 
Hi Again BI. And Oh dear.
It appears you have just ventured into the “Commonwealth of Australia” rabbit hole that i have been wandering around in this last year.
Are the appointment of State Governors and the Governor General made by assent of the “Queen of Australia”?
Who or what is the Queen of Australia. Does the 1901 Constitution allow for this change of Sovereign without the consent of “we the people”? If our consent is not required and has never been required are we truly considered born as chattel?
Or do we just need to recognise our individual sovereignty and stand within it? Stating clearly that no man or fictional entity has a claim over us.
OK you can see I don’t have any answers and am currently lost within this labyrinth.
Enjoy the quest should you choose to continue. I’m hoping you do.
Cheers Phil
My interest is piqued, that I can assure you 😉
Does the 1901 Constitution have any validity given that it was imposed on us by the British as a means of self governing for a Colony, and was voted on only by the Heads of the States of the day on “our” behalf? Given that our independence as a Nation was first recognized with our acceptance into the League of Nations, how can this Constitution that predated that event have any validity? The rabbit-hole you refer to is a veritable warren, with many twists and turns, but at the bottom is an illegitimate government and system of government presiding over a fraud of monumental proportions. They don’t swear an oath to us because they don’t represent us, and while they have the use of the titles of Government to alter their names with, they are above the laws they use to govern and control us. This has never been so obvious as it has become these last two years.
and to the “City of London”……. Explains why Julia, Kev, Malcolm et al gave/shafted us with the Mother of All Carbon Trading schemes, doesn’t it.
Treasonous arschloecher!
The Australian Constitution is an Act of the UK parliament.
8. After the passing of this Act the Colonial Boundaries Act, 1895, shall not apply to any colony which becomes a State of the Commonwealth; but the Commonwealth shall be taken to be a self-governing colony for the purposes of that Act.
The Shedule, Statute of Westminster,1931. 8. Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to confer any power to repeal or alter the Constitution or the Constitution Act of the Commonwealth of Australia or the Constitution Act of the Dominion of New Zealand otherwise than in accordance with the law existing before the commencement of this Act.
Can colonies make treaties with a foreign power?
What validity has The Australia Act 1986.?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was the formal name of the United Kingdom between 1801 and 1927. In 1922, the majority of Ireland seceded to form the Irish Free State. The Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 amended the name of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to reflect the change in the country’s boundaries, and the Act is conventionally considered to mark the point when the name of the state changed as well.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland came into being on 1 January 1801 under the terms of the Acts of Union 1800, by which the formerly separate kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland were united. The Kingdom of Great Britain had itself been formed in 1707 by the union of the formerly separate kingdoms of England and Scotland.
In 1919, Irish MPs refused to recognise the Parliament of the United Kingdom and formed a unilaterally independent Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, with an executive under the President of Dáil Éireann, Eamon de Valera. A War of Independence was fought between 1919 and 1921. Finally in December 1922, twenty-six of Ireland’s counties exited from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and formed an independent Irish Free State. The southern part of Ireland that seceded from the union is today the Republic of Ireland. It covers the same territory as the Free State, but adopted a new constitution in 1937.
Six counties of Ireland, called Northern Ireland, remained a part of the continuing United Kingdom, which was renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927, in accordance with the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927. The present-day United Kingdom retains the same constitutional and parliamentary systems but covering only a portion of the previous territory.
The Cof A Constitution Act 1900 says “…..have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established.” But the Queen/King has since 1927 been the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”
Should the Uk parliament have altered the Cof A Constitution Act to recognise the change or is our Constitution obsolete?
If Australia is to become a republic how will Malcolm Turnbull arrange Australias’ secession from the Commonwealth?
No problems with it, indeed I like it, means we are all accountable to the wider world around us..
The present royals are not the true heirs and successors of Queen Victoria… check out Greg Hallett……. http://www.theworldoftruth.net
It looks like our political boffins have been kneeling to a bunch of royal pretenders…. Gus
We lost all our Constitutional Rights with the passing of the fraudulent & Illegal “1986 Australia Act”.
All States & Territories in Australia are registered as Corporations, this removes the legal requirement for State & Territory “Representatives” (Remember, they are or Representatives, not our “Leaders”) to swear allegiance to the Crown
this may help to explain some of it

Though it may be the Queens Coronation is an act of subterfuge.
From the 13th Century, a third symbol being a rod, often adorned with the symbol of the dove symbolizing fealty to the Roman Cult and absolutely authority was added during the coronation ceremony of Edward I of England.
Queen Elizabeth 2 sat in Edward 1sts chair at her coronation
X. The Investiture per annulum, et per sceptrum et baculum
Then the Keeper of the Jewel House shall deliver to the Archbishop the Queen’s Ring, wherein is set a sapphire and upon it a ruby cross: the Archbishop shall put it on the fourth finger of her Majesty’s right hand, and say:
Receive the Ring of kingly dignity,
and the seal of Catholic Faith:
and as you are this day
consecrated to be our Head and Prince,
so may you continue stedfastly
as the Defender of Christ’s Religion;
that being rich in faith
and blessed in all good works,
you may reign with him who is the King of Kings,
to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Then shall the Dean of Westminster bring the Sceptre with the Cross and the Rod with the Dove to the Archbishop.

A corporate entity and its subsidiaries formed during the 19th Century that usurped the monarch and commonwealth public acts by assuming the role of government and administration, including claiming ownership of previous public property and rights.

WHO OR WHAT CONSTITUTES THE CROWN
The modern world of so-called Western Civilization began at the end of the 17th century with the blossoming of the British Empire. The underpinnings of that empire actually began several hundred years earlier with the establishment of the City of London, which is now an 800-year old corporation that controls finance and philosophy for an entity called the Crown. This entity is the creator and controller of the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. They also control the World Bank, the IMF and associated cartels. The crown identity is kept most secret. The Crown/Bank of England assumed control of the United States during the Roosevelt administration (1901-1909) when its agent J.P. Morgan took over 25% of American business. The Queen of England pays taxes and has to seek permission for entry into The Crown City of London.

Who or what is the Queen of Australia is entirely a matter for the people of Australia.
The Australian Constitution is clear about amending, as requires any such amendment to be passed in accordance with s. 128
The Queen appears consistent that whatever the issue raised, when decided by the Australian people voting in accordance with s. 128, it is the purpose of the Australian people which dominates.
Should the High Court considering an issue presented find exists reasonable grounds to believe there was a conflict of purpose between the purpose of the Australian voters, and, the purpose of the Parliament, with any amendment, who wins ?

That may be the case but if you value your word and do your best to make the thoughts in your head largely match the words coming out of your mouth, how can you live with swearing your loyalty to the Queen of another country? I guess if the minister believes we are just another colony of UK then it’s all good.
But you would think it would be on their to-do list of something to sort out.
I swear that I will be faithful to the Queen?
What the F!@$@ is that supposed to mean?
“I swear I will do my best to help Australia stand on its own two feet”
Swearing to the Queen is not an international focus in my opinion, just more submission. Submit to the Media, Submit to the Queen, Submit to opinion polls, Submit to the party line. Be a good boy.

What The FUQ? – Frequently Unanswered Questions of the “Australian Government
Political parties are private corporations which form a government under our present Constitution –is that legal – what if Coles or Woolworths formed a party?
If the Commonwealth of Australia is registered in the U.S. as a corporate entity, does that mean that those registered by the Commonwealth of Australia inc. by means of an Australian birth certificate are also U.S. corporate citizens? The US and the Commonwealth of Australia inc. are both chapter 11 bankrupt corporations owned ultimately by the Crowned Bank.

In 1873 , known as the crime of ’73, the elites in the USA removed all the silver money from their economy and replaced it with their gold.By the 1890’s their money supply was reduced by 80%.Since the elites owned most of the gold,they assumed most of the wealth.
Today they are stealing from us by “quantative easing” ie money printing and the scam of derivatives.The theft ensues,yet most of our population remain blissfully ignorant.
Stumbled across a link last night that allows you to make your own Hitler downfall video, so made one about this allegiance to the Queen thing:
“A taxpayer finally makes it into parliament.”
Theres a link in the description of the video where you can make your own. Obviously theres a bit too many Hitler downfall videos on youtube, but it was fun to make nevertheless.
