 Cats

Cats are furry little killing machines and I used to keep a cat trap to send them off to the pound.  We have quite a few large pythons in the area that seem to enjoy cat as a food s ono need to run a cat trap anymore.


Pain in the bum me tried a petition to parliament to treat cats in Queensland the same way we treat rabbits - can't be kept as pets and declared an environmental problem.



That was fobbed off by the Minister for Primary Industries - Tony Perrett MP.  Goodness knows why it was sent to him to answer.






Another petition was put to standardise cat laws throughout Queensland. There are currently 77 council and city local government areas each with their own rules and regulations.




Again fobbed off by Tony Perrett who decided to leave all the 77 different laws and regulations alone.




Verbal anarchist me then sent emails to all my local councillors as they are the ones in control of cat laws.


This is what I sent to them all:-



The replies:-









Joe Natoli asked me to write to Bleijie the Deputy Premier - seems Jazza couldn't give a fuck about the environment - didn't bother answering my email. Forwarded it to Perrett.  Not happy. 

Mind you Jazza hasn't liked me for years.




Christian Dickson done good

 This blog I am copying below has been banned from Facebook because is is dangerous.

The anti vaxxer trash have been getting their mates at Facebook to ban it.

Lets see how long this one lasts.


Red cross on the door


 Long, long time ago during the plague years, a red cross was painted on the doors of those who were a danger to everyone else.


Sunshine Coast Businesses Welcome All is a Facebook page for all of those small business owners who intend on ignoring the Queensland Health regulations due to start on the 17th of December 2021. https://www.facebook.com/groups/891978285033001/

 

The health regulations basically say unvaccinated people cant enter places such as cafes, restaurants, pubs, libraries, old peoples care homes etc.  The wording is in this:-

Everyone has a right to know who to avoid, don't be nasty. 

Don't be like them in the Melbourne riots. 

Don't be abusive just say no thanks.

Morrison's New Zealand citizenship

 The Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison is a dual citizen and in parliament illegally.


S44 of the Australian constitution says

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT - SECT 44 Disqualification

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT - SECT 44

Disqualification

                   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 a citizen of a foreign power; or 

 

 

Mr Morrison's Mother Marion Elsie (nee) Smith was born in Surrey Hills NSW on 14/1/1943 to a New Zealand father  Lesley John Smith.  He was born at Ashburton Canterbury NZ on 10/8/1917.


In 1948 the British Nationality and NZ Citizenship Act came into being and section 16 of that act says:-  

 


 Start off with 16 1(a) - that declares Lesley John Smith to be  New Zealand citizen.

 

16 2 says if a person was a British subject prior to the law being enacted and their father qualifies as a New Zealander under 1 (a) or (b), they become a New Zealand citizen.

16 5 says a male person who becomes a New Zealand citizen by virtue of  16.2 shall become a New Zealand citizen by descent.


Marion Elsie Smith became a New Zealand citizen in her own right thanks to 16.2 of the act and wasn't a citizen by descent because she was female and not male as specified in 16.5.

Now to play some clicky games on the interweb.

Check if you are a citizen click here 

 


 Click no because you werent born in NZ, click no for Western Samoa, next page asks if a parent was a citizen


Click yes because Marion Elsie Smith was a New Zealand citizen

The next question is what sort of citizenship did your parent have?  By birth or grant.



You are a New Zealand citizen by descent

You can register your citizenship and order a passport at the same time.

 

Mr Morrison says he hasn't registered his citizenship but that is only official paperwork.  He is a New Zealand citizen.  He needs to register to get a passport.
 
 

Yes I take paypal. If you want to buy me a coffee please paypal me


The reason I wrote this was because of Margaret Simons writing a story in the Guardian.  That was back in October 2019.


I wrote a petition to parliament EN1145. It was closed for signatures on Christmas Day 2019.  It says:-

Mr Morrison's mother Marion was born in Australia to a New Zealand citizen. The British Nationality and New Zealand Citizenship Act section 16 says children born of fathers born in New Zealand are citizens of that country. The law specifies male children are citizens by descent, female children were not mentioned meaning they are citizens other than by descent and able to pass New Zealand citizenship to their children. This Makes Mr Morrison a New Zealand citizen by descent. The house can't determine if Mr Morrison has or hasn't breached the constitution, that is up to the High Court. Even the Commonwealth Solicitor has been proven wrong about S44 on so many occasions.

We therefore ask the House to refer Mr Morrison to the High Court to determine if he is a New Zealand citizen and in breach of our constitution.
 
 
Mr Porter the Attorney General replied  on 3/3/20 saying basically that we the voter cant lodge petitions asking about S44 compliance and that the referral to the Court of Disputed Returns must come from the Privileges & Members Interests Committee. Mr Gorman, the Deputy Chair of that committee said in an email to me that the committee does not have the legislation to refer anyone to any court.
 
A further letter from the Attorney Generals Department, not Christian Porter, said:- 
 

 The important bit seems to say that parliament determines the legal status of MPs, not the High Court.

In relation to your comment regarding the role of electors bringing a challenge to the 

 eligibility of parliamentarians, the High Court has held that in a proceeding for a penalty

under the Common Informers (Parliamentary Disqualifications) Act 1975 it is not able to  

determine whether someone is incapable of sitting as a member of the House of  

Representatives or senator due to s 44 of the Constitution (Alley v Gillespie (2018) 

 264 CLR 328). Any question of s 44 incapability is to be determined by the House of  

Representatives or Senate itself under s 47 of the Constitution, unless either house resolves  

to refer the matter to the Court of Disputed Returns under the 

 Commonwealth Electoral  Act 1918.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

My local MP is Andrew Wallace, an LNP member of parliament. He used to be a 

barrister before entering  parliament and now seems to be a barista. I have written to my 

local MP on several occasions asking him to follow House rules and put Mr Morrison

into the High Court to determine his eligibility to sit in parliament. He blocks me on all 

 social media and refuses to answer my emails. I have written to him, Mr Smith the Speaker

and the Queensland Bar Association  to see if his determination to protect Mr Morrison

from the law is against the Bar Association rules and the Rules of the House of Parliament.

EN1331 stopsubsidies for the coal industry


EN1331 signatures close 25/3/20. You can sign here - https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=EN1331




  • Reason: The country is suffering great angst about coal. Is it good, is it bad, should we mine it or should we leave it in the ground. One of the biggest problems facing this country is the amount of government money, aka tax dollars, flowing to the coal mining companies in the forms of subsidies, interest free loans, grants etc. Subsidies to the coal industry are made by the federal government and state governments but with the likes of COAG a coordinated approach could be made to free the coal industry to allow it to operate with no governmental financial constraints. Some authorities put the amount of money given to the coal industries as being in the vicinity of twenty nine billion dollars. Stopping those subsidies to the coal industry would allow the industry to operate in a free market which I believe is one of the basic ideological tenets of our government. The money saved would be ideal for expenditure in our regions or in financing the ABC properly.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to coordinate with the states stopping all subsidies, loans and grants to coal companies to allow them to operate in a free market.

EN1348 drug & alcohol testing for MPs

EN1348  signatures until 25 March 2020 and you can sign here :- https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=EN1348




  • Reason: Social Services Minister Anne Ruston is considering bringing in drug testing for Newstart recipients. Newstart recipients get tax payer dollar while they look for work. Members of parliament get tax payer dollar working for the community. There should be no real difference between what happens to Newstart recipients and to our elected representatives. Most major corporations throughout the world have some form of drug testing and alcohol testing for their highly paid staff. Generally for the larger companies compulsory testing starts with a salary of $80,000 per annum. Our members of parliament get paid from about $200,000 per annum.and up.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to institute drug and alcohol testing for members of parliament. Daily while in Canberra and randomly when not in Canberra.

EN1133 ban internal combustion engines

  • Reason: The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that Britain will ban all new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035. Britain allows the sale of cheap electric vehicles made in Europe, China, India, the USA, we dont. Our electric vehicles seem to be limited to the elitist versions, the most expensive versions so that those in control of the country can keep the quiet Australians from having a quiet car that doesn't use petrol. This may be to the major political parties getting major donations form the fossil fuel industries. If we ban the internal combustion engine we no longer have manufacturing industries that would be affected. the service industries could easily switch to electric vehicles.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to allow the sale of cheap electric vehicle from all corners of the world and to ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2025.

Dummy Spitting

Way back when at the now defunct Arafura Bowls club in Darwin the New Years Eve party would have a dummy spitting competition for all of the members who spat the dummy and left the club.

We on the committee would line up with a dummy for each member to see how far the dummy could actually be spat.  All good fun and a middle finger for the dummy spitters.

Parliament in Australia has done a massive dummy spit thanks to Llew O'Brien.

It required a petition so here it is.  The Petition hasn't been approved by the petitions committee yet, I am unsure if Llew quit the job as chair of the committee before he became deputy Speaker in the House.

  • Reason: This week saw a ridiculous situation where a Queenslander, elected to parliament as a member of the LNP in Queensland spat the dummy and quit sitting with the Nationals in their party room. It makes a sham of what we do in Queensland. We either vote for the LNP or not. It shouldn't then be up to the whim of the MP to decide if they will be a National or a Liberal in parliament. Our dummy spitter decided he wouldn't be either National or Liberal, surely he must go to the Liberals if he was elected as an LNP MP or renounce his membership of the LNP and be just an independent? Relying on the whim of an individual to decide who they will represent in Parliament rather than on the vote of the electorate is not democracy. MPs are elected as LNP members and must represent the LNP in parliament.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to order the members of the LNP to be listed as a separate party within Parliament.

Communication with MPs EN1252

Some of our MPs don't like talking with their constituents and this goes all the way to replying to emails and social media questions and answers.


 So a petition has been put to parliament, up to Llew O'Brien to approve it for signatures, whenever they bother going back to work.


Terms:
  • Reason: Some members of parliament block voters on social media. Some mark emails as spam. Some just don't bother answering emails. Parliament House information sheet 15 says "communication skills are important in all aspects of a Member’s work, but are particularly so in working with constituents" My local MP Andrew Wallace said of Twitter " I find twitter to be an electronic version of the “Canberra bubble” and for the life of me do not understand why people use it." Another Sunshine Coast MP Ted O'Brien hasn't used Twitter since March 2016 and even the Chair of the Petitions Committee hasn't used Twitter since September 2019. A lot of the Petitions Committee aren't even members on Twitter. Nearly 5 million Australians use Twitter for regular communication and quite often political discourse. Hiding from voters in the Canberra Bublé is not the way democracy is supposed to work. You MPs are there for we the voter not you donors.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to instruct Members to begin communicating with voters by answering emails, stop blocking social media and email accounts, answering Twitter and Facebook questions posted by voters. 

 If you would like to buy me a cup of coffee or a beer, please paypal me.

 

The link to the parliament house petition page is here.

 

EN1255 where are they

Our politicians go missing regularly.  And we don't know where they are.


So petition EN1255 has been lodged, hopefully they will accept the petition and start listing where the work shy bludgers are at any given moment.


Terms:
  • Reason: A national fire emergency has been happening since at least August 2019 and is continuing into January 2020. Parliament has sat for just 20 days in that time. The emergency has been labelled the Hawaiian Holiday fires because our Prime Minster took off for a holiday and apparently no one knew where he was. My own local MP Andrew Wallace has done the same, emails to his office are answered with a message saying he is missing from 20/12/19 until 13/1/20. Mr Dutton the minister responsible for Home Affairs which is responsible for Emergency Management seems to have gone missing and we don't know where he are. We voters need to know where our Members of Parliament are so we can find them to ask for help if needed or to ask for information if wanted.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to arrange for a web page to be created and updated regularly showing where our elected representatives are. This must show their current location live and any future projected locations.

EN1216 Are creationist a danger to our country

Terms:

  • Reason: Several branches of Christianity believe God created the Earth about 6000 years ago. The people who adhere to this faith are reluctant to comprehend science that requires facts and data that is more than 6000 years old. The sciences affected are geology, geography, meteorology, physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, oceanography, human biology, mycology, astronomy, zoology etc. Are members of parliament who adhere to these branches of Christian faith putting parliament and our country in danger by refusing to consider science that relies on facts and data older than 6000 years? Nobody can stop someone believing a religion that says the earth is 6000 years old but parliament must act to protect itself and our country from religious extremism that denies science and scientific fact.

  • Request: We therefore ask the House to declare those branches of Christianity that believe God created the Earth 6000 years ago are a danger to parliament and our country. 

 Signatures haven't opened yet, because it is up to Llew O'Brien to declare the petition is OK to present to parliament.  The distinct fear of work from our Members of Parliament means this wont happen until February.

EN1199 refer Mr Dutton to High Court and Criminal court

Terms:
  • Reason: In February 2019 Mr Dutton declared he was a beneficiary of RHT family trust in his Register of Members Interests. At the same time the ABN data base lists two companies as being the responsibility of RHT family trust, CAMELIA AVENUE CHILDCARE CENTRE and BALD HILLS CHILDCARE CENTRE. The Department of Finance list both of these companies as recipients of Commonwealth funding for many years. After the election Mr Dutton declared he had renounced his family trust and was not a beneficiary. Mr Dutton's wife and children are beneficiaries of the trust and the Commonwealth money given to that trust and the two child care centres. Because his family still benefit that is an indirect pecuniary interest in that trust and a breach of S44 of our constitution. The house can not determine if an MP has or hasn't breached the constitution, that can only be determined by the High Court. Recently the Crown Solicitor said of Mr Dutton "I consider there to be some risk ... that the High Court might conclude that there is a conflict between Mr Dutton's duty as a parliamentarian and his personal interests" The Crown Solicitor noted they are not given much factual information by the MP. The High Court can and does demand much more information and can and does provide a binding judicial decision. Mr Porter refused s44 petitions based on that Crown Solicitor's advice.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to refer Mr Dutton to the High Court and AFP for determination.
Your petition was considered by the Standing Committee on Petitions at a recent meeting, and was found to meet the petition requirements. It is now available for signature online.
Signatures open: 4/12/2019

EN1198 re-examine S44 cases

Terms:
  • Reason: Voters can only use the Court of Disputed returns to examine the eligibility of MPs in the electorate the voter voted in. To examine an MP's eligibility out of the voters electorate a petition to parliament is the only option. That option has been sullied recently. The Attorney General Mr Porter has refused several recent petitions mentioning S44 because of the Crown Solicitor's advice, even when that advice says the High Court might conclude that there is or may be a conflict. The house can not determine if an MP has or hasn't breached the constitution, that can only be determined by the High Court. The Commonwealth Solicitor has been proven wrong about S44 on many occasions, most famously with the then Deputy Prime Minister Mr Joyce. Recently the Crown Solicitor said of Mr Dutton "I consider there to be some risk ... that the High Court might conclude that there is a conflict between Mr Dutton's duty as a parliamentarian and his personal interests" The Crown Solicitor noted they are not given much factual information by the MP who obviously wants to ensure they stay in Parliament unhindered. The High Court can and does demand much more information and can and does provide a binding judicial decision.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to re-examine all petitions relating to breaches of S44 and put those cases to the High Court for determination.
Your petition was considered by the Standing Committee on Petitions at a recent meeting, and was found to meet the petition requirements. It is now available for signature online.

Which MPs are creationist?

A creationist is a person who believes god created the Earth 6000 years ago. This basically means most science is a nonsense to them.  Any science that says something happened or began before 6000 years ago is totally against the belief system a creationist understands.


How many members of parliament are creationists in the Australian federal parliament?

The only way I can think of finding out is to put a petition to parliament.

Petition EN1206 was lodged today and must go through the Petitions Committee to see if it is acceptable then it is a month for signatures and 3 months to be answered.  Fingers crossed.

This is what I put in the petition:-

Morrison has a Kiwi mum EN1145

We wish you a merry Christmas.


Signatures close Christmas day.



Terms:
  • Reason: Mr Morrison's mother Marion was born in Australia to a New Zealand citizen. The British Nationality and New Zealand Citizenship Act section 16 says children born of fathers born in New Zealand are citizens of that country. The law specifies male children are citizens by descent, female children were not mentioned meaning they are citizens other than by descent and able to pass New Zealand citizenship to their children. This Makes Mr Morrison a New Zealand citizen by descent. The house can't determine if Mr Morrison has or hasn't breached the constitution, that is up to the High Court. Even the Commonwealth Solicitor has been proven wrong about S44 on so many occasions.

EN1119 petitionchange court of diputed returns rules



Terms:
  • Reason: At present the only persons who can query the eligibility of candidates in an election are voters in that particular electorate. At the moment for me to query the eligibility of a candidate in electorate "A" I have to have voted in that electorate. This suggestion would allow anyone to query the eligibility of a candidate in another electorate if they understood that candidate to be ineligible. Having voted in that electorate should not be a pre-requisite. The same time frame should apply as per the rules and laws now.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to change the relevant laws to allow any voter anywhere in Australia to challenge the eligibility of a candidate in any electorate.
The petition was considered at a recent meeting of the Committee, and certified as meeting the requirements for petitions.

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.
A response from the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science was presented in the House on 21/10/2019 and you can find a copy of the response here.
Petition number: EN0161 (Please quote in future correspondence)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
A response from the Attorney-General was presented in the House on 21/10/2019 and you can find a copy of the response here.

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.

  • 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.
A response from the Attorney-General was presented in the House on 21/10/2019 and you can find a copy of the response here.

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.



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.


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

EN1007 Dutton indirect pecuniary interest


Dear Petitioner,

Recently you submitted a petition on the House of Representatives website with the following terms.

Petition number: EN1007 (Please quote in future correspondence)
Date submitted: 5/08/2019

Terms:
  • Reason: In February 2019 Mr Dutton declared he was a beneficiary of RHT family trust in his Register of Members Interests. At the same time the ABN data base lists two companies as being the responsibility of RHT family trust, CAMELIA AVENUE CHILDCARE CENTRE and BALD HILLS CHILDCARE CENTRE. The Department of Finance list both of these companies as recipients of Commonwealth funding for many years. After the election Mr Dutton declared he had renounced his family trust and was not a beneficiary. Mr Dutton's wife and children are beneficiaries of the trust and the Commonwealth money given to that trust and the two child care centres. Because his family still benefit that is an indirect pecuniary interest in that trust and a breach of S44 of our constitution. Voters in his electorate are obviously terrified of upsetting a man with so much power in this country. I was denied the chance of taking him to the Court of Disputed Returns because I don't vote in his electorate. The house can't determine if Mr Dutton has or hasn't breached the constitution, that is up to the High Court. Even the Commonwealth Solicitor has been proven wrong about S44 on so many occasions.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to refer Mr Dutton to the High Court to ascertain if an indirect pecuniary interest such as his family benefiting from Commonwealth funding is a breach of our constitution. Until S44 is changed MPs must understand nobody is above the law.
Your petition was considered by the Standing Committee on Petitions at a recent meeting, and was found to meet the petition requirements. It is now available for signature online.

Signatures open: 11/09/2019 petition can be signed here

Well this is fucked.


Signatures closed and the petition wasn't referred to a minister for action.

This is the response I got from the Petition Committee explaining why.










 


Petition EN0963 is here and EN0955 here.

EN0963 is a petition relating to Mr Dutton signing a false declaration to nominate for election in 2016. Also EN0955 is mentioned, that was a petition lodged before Mr Dutton decided to renounce his family trust and which can not be answered by a minister because it doesn't include the updated family trust information provided by Mr Dutton on 27/6/19.












It seems an ex Queensland copper, Llew O'Brien the Chair of the Petitions Committee may be working to protect another ex Queensland copper, Dutton, from the courts. Why else would a petition about an ex Queensland copper be hidden from parliament?

A pity we must just hope posterity find it and call it out fro what it is.

How old is the Earth EN0998 rejected


Dear Petitioner,

Recently you submitted a petition on the House of Representatives website with the following terms.

Petition number: EN0998 (Please quote in future correspondence)
Date submitted: 1/08/2019

Terms:
  • Reason: Our Prime Minster and some other members of the government have gone well beyond the political norm of the past 118 years and showed their belief in a religious sect which believes the Earth is just 6000 years old. The leader of our country needs to be a modern intelligent person who understands the age and depth of feeling of our Aboriginal culture. The leader of our country needs to be one who understands science. The leader of our country needs to be one who believes the Earth is 4.5 billion years old or more. The country can't be run by someone who is at odds with our culture, our science and our history.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to have the Prime Minister declare the planet Earth is at least 4.5 billion years old, that Aboriginal culture is at least 60,000 years old and that his sect has no place in the governance of our country.
Your petition was considered by the Standing Committee on Petitions at a recent meeting. Unfortunately it is unable to be accepted as a petition as it does not meet the petition requirements as listed below:
  • Out of Order Reason: The language used in the petition is not moderate;
Your petition has therefore been rejected and signatures will not be able to be collected. You are welcome to make changes to your petition terms to ensure they meet the petition requirements and submit it again.


Seems parliament is protecting our creationist from the truth.  Have a read and see if you can come up with a nicer way to get the creationist to admit the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.  Also gives a huge middle finger to Aboriginal culture.

I tried again, will wait and see if they accept this - EN1049




 

EN1024 Parliament to sit more during the year


Dear Petitioner,


Recently you submitted a petition on the House of Representatives website with the following terms.

Petition number: EN1024 (Please quote in future correspondence)
Date submitted: 16/08/2019

Terms:
  • Reason: Parliament is empty more than 300 days a year. To the average voter it looks like MPs are doing very little and are in fact work shy. Parliament in Canada sits 140-160 days a year leaving more than 200 days a year for MPs to have their holidays and plenty time in their electorate.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to match the Canadian parliament and sit for 140-160 days a year.
Your petition was considered by the Standing Committee on Petitions at a recent meeting, and was found to meet the petition requirements. It is now available for signature online.
