Some answered petitions

Some answered petitions, sort of.

Some aren't really answered in the way I wanted them. Some from Attorney General Porter fob me off and say criminal complaints are up to the Australian Federal Police, but then the AFP refuse to look at the criminal complaints because the people are Liberal party members sort of sucks.

Terms:

• Reason: The number of deaths and severe injuries in car accidents where drivers are distracted by mobile phones and other mobile devices are increasing every year. In 2014 every Member of Parliament was given an idea from Tony Magrathea to help solve the problem and save lives and nothing was done by the MPs. No MP bothered replying to Mr Magrathea about the idea. All OECD countries were given the idea, all major mobile phone companies were given the idea and nothing was done to save lives.
• Request: The petitioners request the House investigate the use of sound detection software in mobile phones and mobile devices that will listen for the distinctive noise of a motor vehicle's engine from inside the vehicle and if detected turn off the mobile device. This will irritate passengers in the vehicle but the saving of lives and stopping the maiming of so many people is worth the inconvenience of someone having to wait until they get to their destination to use their mobile devices. If the use of sound detection software is considered viable, the petitioners ask the House to consider legislation to have that sound detection software installed and activated automatically in every mobile phone and other device in use and for sale in Australia. A simple software upgrade can install this in every mobile phone and device on any specific date.

Terms:

• Reason: Senator Xenophon is in the national media complaining about former Senators Day and Culleton having to repay their senate salaries, expenses and allowances. Both former senators signed false declarations for the AEC saying they comply with S44 of the constitution. The current Centrelink robodebt campaign to recover monies wrongly paid to welfare recipients means the government must be serious in chasing these constitution breachers for every cent the wrongly received or the robodebt campaign looks like a farce.
• Request: We the petitioners ask the House to ensure that any person found to have breached the Australian constitution must repay all monies received as salary, travel expenses, accommodation and food allowances, office allowances and expenses. We also would ask that pensions be cancelled and the police asked to investigate charges of fraud for signing false declarations to nominate for election.

Terms:

• Reason: In Parliament 44 Dr. Jensen the Chair of the Petitions Committee and Senator Cormann the Special Minister of State hid a petition asking for an audit of compliance of S44 of the constitution. They marked petition #1134-1604 not to be referred. It is still on the Petitions page for Parliament 44 marked as such in the list of petitions for Senator Cormann. In two other petitions about S44 of the constitution Senator Cormann replied by saying we should trust candidates to tell the truth when they nominate for election to parliament. Senators Day and Culleton show trust and truth doesn't work. Senator Cormanns other advice was to rely on a voter in an electorate to have enough money to begin High Court action in the Court of Disputed Returns should an MP be in breach of the constitution. This excludes a huge proportion of the voting populace from the judicial system just by address, let alone financial ability to run a High Court case. In Parliament 45 Mr Vasta the Chair of the Petitions Committee hid petition EN0038 after it was presented to parliament and read into Hansard, it was not to be referred. Action by Queensland Senators and Mr Wallace MP got the petition referred to the SMOS.
• Request: The petitioners ask that an audit of compliance of S44 of the Australian Constitution be conducted as soon as practicable and thought given to conducting such a compliance audit after every election.

Terms:

• Reason: In 2016 Mr Joyce signed a nomination for election form indicating he complied with our constitution. In 2017 the High Court of Australia determined Mr Joyce was in fact a dual citizen of Australia and New Zealand.
• Request: We therefore ask the House to refer Mr Joyce to the Australian Federal Police and Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions to determine if Mr Joyce signed a false declarations to nominate for election and in doing so committed a criminal act on 6 occasions. Mr Joyce is a university educated man with high intelligence and he knew his father was a New Zealand citizen. When signing 6 of his nomination for election forms he must have noticed the part about our constitution and compliance with specifically S44. As a highly educated man he would have checked to determine he complied with our constitution most especially when he was aware of Free vs Kelly and Sue vs Hill during his time as a businessman.

Terms:

• Reason: In response to petition EN0615 The Attorney General Mr Porter said "The initiation and conduct of a prosecution is a matter for the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions" this was in relation to a question about who was responsible for the initiation and conduct of a prosecution for a candidate signing a false declaration to nominate for election. The CDPP say that is not the truth. They can not initiate nor conduct a prosecution. EN0615 was a specific question about candidates signing false declarations to nominate for election. The AEC say they can not initiation prosecution or investigate candidates signing false declarations, the AFP say it is up to the AEC to initiation prosecutions and investigate matters and the Attorney General says it is up to the CDPP. Now the CDPP say they can not follow the Attorney Generals directive to initiate and conduct a prosecution of a candidate who signed a false declaration to nominate for election.
• Request: We therefore ask the House to determine if the Attorney General is correct in saying the CDPP must initiate prosecutions and investigate matters relating to candidates signing false declarations to nominate for election. If the Attorney General is incorrect then who is responsible for initiating prosecutions and investigating matters relating to candidates signing false declarations to nominate for election. We also ask that once the matter is decided the relevant authority is advised it is responsible in these matters.

EN1076 how old is the Earth

Our creationist in chief is a proclaimed believer in the Pentecostal fairy story which tells all that the Earth is just 6000 years old. This means most of our science can't exist and our Aboriginal culture is only 6000 years old instead of the 65,000 years or more it is understood to have existed.

Because our MPs from all sides refuse to answer questions I put them into petitions in parliament.  This normally means they have to be answered within 90 days.  A couple I am still waiting for answer about are the ones about mobile phones, blocking the signal while in cars and an audit of S44 compliance from parliament 44.

This petition is available for signatures until 13th of November 2019.  All you need is an email address and the ability to fill out a captcha test. A link to the signature page is here.   The touching bit of this petition is a call for the creationist in chief to tell the world how old the world is in parliament.

Petition Reason

Some members of parliament freely acknowledge they are members of branches of Christianity that believe the planet Earth is just 6000 years old. Some have declared this publicly in filmed media events. A belief such as this removes much that is science from their understanding of our world and is catastrophic for Aboriginal culture reducing it to just 6000 years for the generally accepted 65,000 years.

Petition Request

We therefore ask the House to have parliament, preferably the Prime Minister as leader of the government, to declare the Earth is probably 4.5 billion years old and Aboriginal culture is at least 65,000 years old.

Signatures are being accepted until 13 November 2019.  The link is here
