Yesterday was the 15th of June which is the anniversary of King John signing the Magna Carta in 1215. Yesterday, the the High Court of Australia, Canberra, six Australian judges conspired to delete and cancel Magna Carta. Barristers for the Applicant and the Respondent agreed with the judges that "There is no common law of the Commonwealth". The case was Mr. Torney asking for trial by jury for contempt of the Family Court. His barrister used not one quarter of the material I had given them (as found on my website of http://www.rightsandwrong.com.au) and deliberately failed to mention that a Referendum in 1988 overwhelmingly rejected a proposed alteration to section 80 of the Constitution to exclude contempt of court from trial by jury and court martial. This is the Will of the People and the barrister, Mr. Perkins, knew of it and refused to raise it before the High Court. The judges and the barristers agreed that section 80 of the Constitution, which says "The trial on indictment of any offence against any law of the Commonwealth shall be by jury.." does not mean "any offence against any law of the Commonwealth" but "only offences against laws made by the Federal Parliament". And, in fact, they agreed that the Federal Parliament can decide whether an offence will be an "indictable" offence or will be dealt with "summarily", ie: the Federal Parliament decides whether a person has the right to a jury. Again, no mention of Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, Petition of Right, numerous sections of the Constitution and other Acts. When it comes onto the High Court website, it will be COLINA & ANOR; EXPARTE TORNEY (M85/1998) and "BEFORE THE FULL COURT" of Justices Callinan, Kirby, McHugh, Gleeson, Gummow and Hayne. Counsel for the Applicant/Prosecutor were D.A. Perkins and A. M. Paszkowski. Counsel for the Respondents were H. J. Langmead with Interveners of R. J. Redlich QC, H. J. Langmead (Intervening on behalf of the Attorney-General for the Commonwealth), D. Graham QC (Solicitor-General for the State of Victoria), and S.G.E. McLeish (Intervening on behalf of the Attorney-General for the State of Victoria). How can Queen's Counsels, and other representatives of the Crown, fight against the right to trial by jury? On the anniversay of Magna Carta: LIES AND TREACHERY IN THE HIGH COURT. The case continues and will conclude today. Yours sincerely, John Wilson. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Neither public email list, open for the public and general discussion.
