My Say

I have looked at a website operated by one of our contributors that is of major interest to the drivers of this nation.

It is www.aussiespeedingfines.com where you can learn how the governments of this land, once belonging to the people, collect $500 MILLION a year in speeding fines.

Not to dodge the safety issues or get the ratbag drivers of well deserved penalties - this site is opening the Pandora's box on faulty equipment, untrained operators, police bungling, etc, etc, and from an E-book, you can download on line, stop the rip-off of your dollars to fund government mismanagement. Take a look.

The Australian Criminal Code defines treason as follows:


"A person commits an offence, called treason, if the person:

  • (a) causes the death of the Sovereign, the heir apparent of the Sovereign, the consort of the Sovereign, the Governor-General or the Prime Minister; or
  • (b) causes harm to the Sovereign, the Governor-General or the Prime Minister resulting in the death of the Sovereign, the Governor-General or the Prime Minister; or
  • (c) causes harm to the Sovereign, the Governor-General or the Prime Minister, or imprisons or restrains the Sovereign, the Governor-General or the Prime Minister; or
  • (d) levies war, or does any act preparatory to levying war, against the Commonwealth; or

    that is engaged in armed hostilities against the Australian Defence Force; or
  • (g) instigates a person who is not an Australian citizen to make an armed invasion of the Commonwealth or a Territory of the Commonwealth; or
  • (h) forms an intention to do any act referred to in a preceding paragraph and manifests that intention by an overt act."[2]
  • A person is not guilty of treason under paragraphs (e), (f) or (h) if their assistance or intended assistance is purely humanitarian in nature.

    The penalty for treason is life imprisonment.

    Dr John Walsh of Brannagh - Barrister at Law.

    In the interest of Justice and Secure Property Rights Dr John Walsh appeared for Peter Spencer (pictured) and the Australian Farmers in proceedings in the Australian Federal Court today. Dr John Walsh will provide valuable counsel in relation to these ongoing proceedings in the CPPA "Carbon Trading" case. PJS V Commonwealth of Australia

    The Commonwealth Government failed it its attempt on Friday 22nd June 2007 to abort the proceedings by seeking security for costs and strike out the claim.

    The Honourable Justice Gyles rejected the possibility of security for costs, and ordered a Statement of Claim to be filed in the matter, and listed it again for the 19th July 2007.

    At that time the Court may consider a motion to strike out, but not before then.

    Dr John Walsh of Brannagh is listed in Who's Who Australia

    Dr Walsh's participation in the CPPA team provides a real legal heavy weight and additionally he brings a deep long held commitment to the principles of the Association. The associations principles regarding the spiritual, historic, legal and Constitutional standing of freehold land must be appreciated and respected by all who are incorporated into the struggle for the right to farm our land.

    His- Dr Walsh's, particular interest in Constitutional law had lead to a lifetime of experience in this field.

    Dr Walsh also represents the Commonwealth Property Protection Association in ongoing proceedings in the ACT Supreme Court involving NSW Council Rates, Farming land and the impact of the Native Vegetation Act. This is the CPPA "RATES" case. PJS V Cooma Monaro Shire Council

    The NSW Native Vegetation Act will face more scrutiny in the Australian Courts as this same team finalises the case for the "Judicial Review" with the application due to be filed on June 29 2007. The CPPA " Judicial Review" case. PJS v New South Wales Government.

    Professor Erryl Higgins:

    In addition to the above 3 Court proceedings the CPPA's focus on Secure property Rights and the Native Vegetation Acts across Australia continues with an in depth 6 day workshop.

    Commencing tomorrow, Friday June 22 the workshop is to research and prepare the final appeal on the Brereton J case - referred to as the "JUST TERMS" case, in the New South Wales Court of Appeal. - PJS V Australian Capital Territory Attorney General, New South Wales Attorney General and the Attorney General of The Commonwealth of Australia.

    This team effort is lead by another Constitutional expert - Professor Erryl Higgins.

    This Constitutional Scholar, recognised for his preparedness to defend issues in the public interest, with a strong recommendation and support from Victorian members of CAAP, the Professor, having already read the Judgement handed down by Brereton J, in regards to the matter bought before him by Peter Spencer, responded positively to an approach from the committee of CPPA, who travelled to Melbourne for meetings with him.

    Following the Melbourne meeting, the professors real passion, for the Australian Constitution, its correct interpretation and the rule of law was kindled and following a comprehensive review over the next 2 weeks, of the files pertaining to the proceedings, Professor Erryl Higgins agreed to take up the lead role, in the fight on behalf of farmers and land owners.

    Subsequently, Professor Erryl Higgins has offered CAAP his services in this matter, if necessary, all the way to the High Court. For this we are immensely great full to him and our in particular to our Victorian supporters who made all this possible, being entirely responsible for this initiative and ongoing support.

    ABC Radio AM 08.22 Thursday 21 2006 - Costello confirmed it was a Commonwealth initiative as per 7.30 Report. Professor of Public Law Suri Ratnapala of Queensland University Says the Commonwealth has to pay when they "Take" Barnaby Joyce says, if they do not pay, it is another word for Communism - if the Government takes it must pay. CPPA agrees

    Important announcement to all land owners.

    Metaphorically speaking, the "Chop a Tree Day" delivers a sharp response directly to Governments who usurp their Constitutional limited authority.

    Over recent times, the politically expedient have treacherously Tampa-d with the inherent and Constitutionally settled principles surrounding Crown LANDRIGHTS and have tossed overboard, the most basic and fundamental historical freehold land use known to civilised law.

    Currently, the Commonwealth Property Protection Association has four cases before jurisdiction in the New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Supreme and Federal Courts, where overall, Government defendants have, on each legitimate appeal, perpetually moved "to strike out" - [that the argument not be heard] no less than twenty times.

    In metaphorically "Chopping a Tree" what the CPPA is drawing attention to is, that clearly, the all powerful, tyrannical Governments have abused and misrepresented the Freehold System and appear equally determined to deny the common people the due process of providing them their day in COURT.

    If the apparent influence of contemporary governing tyranny is such, that the common people cannot be heard in the civilised area of the Court, then metaphorically speaking, we must reclaim our land rights from the fascist dictators and "chop" out all repugnant legislation, which now overrides the lawful Grown-registered approval constitutionally intended to remain with whoever holds the deeds.

    Unless freehold law is reclaimed the civilised society as we know it will disappear.

    Land rights belong to the people with the Private investment. Freehold is the greatest generator of wealth known to man. We need more freehold land then 14% - not less.

    Join this struggle against those who are trying to have freehold rights abolished see the papers produce by the Australia Institute - say no to this loss of your inherited rights.

    Freehold land has an 800 year old tradition, Freehold Crown system is the oldest land right law known in history, stand up and protect this fundamental part of our civilised society - demand more freehold land not less. Stop the States attempt to usurp our land.

    Despite their bluff, Parliament CANNOT legislate away the Crown-registered existing approval of that property investment right intended to provide a continuing use of whichever development the zoning of the freehold permits.

    The primary, unrestricted, none - discretionary Agricultural use of any Freehold ( as the singular parcel of Land is defined in the Real Property Act and transferred through conveyance to the Landowner ) is consistently identified in all Local Government Rural Zonings for Rate and Taxing purposes.

    We own our vegetation; it is ours to do with as we wish; and there is no other alternative now left to us.

    Support our National Chop a Tree day.

    Show the Nation, Democracy is alive and well, exercise your right do not let tyranny rule - join the civil disobedience program.

    Your freedom is only guaranteed by your preparedness for eternal vigilance.

    Demand more freehold lands form your member NOT LESS.

    SNOWY MOUNTAINS BUSH USERS GROUP INC.

    BRIEFING PAPER- RE KOSCIUSZKO NATIONAL PARK ("KNP") WILD HORSE (BRUMBY) DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN



    BACKGROUND

    National Parks and Wildlife Service ("NPWS") in 2002 introduced a Wild Horse Mgt. Plan to remove brumbies from the sensitive alpine area (above 1800 metres i.e. above the tree line) that represented basically the Main Range management Unit surrounding Mt. Kosciuszko. At that time there was much concern within the local community and horse riders throughout the state that this was a "nasty" precedent being established. To appease the public concern NPWS gave assurances that there would be no future expansion of the removal area.

    Also in 2002 NPWS commenced the review of the KNP Plan of Management 1982 and associated amendments (1988, 1994, 1999).

    As a result in May 2004 the Draft Plan of Management for KNP was placed on public exhibition for 90 days and comment was invited from the public and community interest groups

    SMBUG was formed in January 2004 (with an initial membership of 43 and now exceeds 1100) because of community concern that the impending Draft Plan of Management was going to expand the brumby culling programme and impose additional access restrictions on horse riders and other recreationalists who use KNP.

    On both counts our fears were proven correct. In relation to the brumbies they were to be excluded from not only the Main Range but also Yarrangobilly Mgt. Unit, Cooleman Plain Mgt Unit, Snowy Mountains Hwy, areas where horses have not been recorded, areas adjoining other Australian Alps national parks and feeder areas for all these parts of KNP. This in effect gives NPWS "open slather".

    In August 2004 (within the 90 day exhibition period) SMBUG submitted a detailed 44-page response to the Draft Plan. In relation to the brumbies we recommended that NPWS- " immediately cease the exclusion/reduction of brumbies from any area within KNP and NPWS make available-

    1. accurate brumby numbers
    2. information and independent scientific evidence as to the pros and cons of the brumby population
    3. and ensure adequate public debate and consensus of future action plans"
    In addition, and together with our formal response, SMBUG hand delivered 8,853 individually signed and addressed form letters and was responsible for a further 1500 mailed submissions from members and other individuals. Of the total responses that numbered 11,487, we can say 10,400 (90%)were anti brumby culling and additional access restrictions for recreationalists, approximately 400 (3%) were from the Polish Community and anti name change of Mt. Kosciusko. The extreme "green groups" like the Colong Foundation managed less than 400.

    Unfortunately, our efforts and those of the Australian Horse Alliance and other recreational horse groups (representing over 500,000 members and supporters) then and in the interim were to no avail.

    On 14 June 2006, the KNP Plan of Management was approved by the Minister for the Environment, Bob Debus and this has subsequently led to NPWS establishing a Community Steering Group ("CSG"), of which I am a member, to contribute to the preparation of a KNP Horse Management Plan.

    The CSG first met in September 2006 with four subsequent meetings.

    NPWS are now in the closing stages of completing a final draft of the KNP Horse Management Plan that they will release for public viewing in July/August 2007.

    CURRENT ISSUES

    ˇ Based on previous experience with the publicly released Draft Plan of Management for KNP the invited public submissions achieved no favourable results for the majority respondent groups.

    ˇ The CSG is "loaded" with 3 to 4 NPWS personnel, 2 members of the radical green National Parks Association, 2 NPWS supporters and one RSPCA representative who appears to be neutral. There are only 2 of us who are pro brumby.

    ˇ NPWS have a pre-set agenda to remove brumbies from all national parks in NSW as evidenced by the three most recent Horse Management Plans namely- Guy Fawkes NP, Oxley Wild Rivers NP and Blue Mountains (Warragamba Special Area) NP, which all state zero horse populations within 5 years.

    ˇ NPWS have driven the formulation of this Plan with indecent haste and a "heavy" bias against the brumby. They have not considered the "iconic status" of the Snowy Mountains Brumby and its unique position in our Australian heritage and culture.

    ˇ Please read the attached SMBUG responses to Draft Versions 4 and 6 of the Plan for more detail.

    THE BRUMBY HAS BEEN IN THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS FOR 177 YEARS.

    IN OUR VIEW THE AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE HAVE NOT GIVEN A CLEAR MANDATE, TO THE NSW GOVERNMENT OR THE NPWS, TO ERADICATE THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS BRUMBY.

    Letters To The Editor


    Hi Mal, Thanks for your response, the difficulty in sending emails from SOS-NEWS page probably stems from the security on my computer.

    The comments I had sent in response to SOS-NEWS Tues 15th May on Energy Saving Compact Fluoroscents, Brumbyy (with two Ys) covered some of them in the next article in his usual, excellent manner.

    The exceptions being :
    All fluorescent lamps contain mercury (sometimes it is visible as tiny beads), this includes 20watt, 40watt,circular tubes, UV sterilising lamps, black light lamps as well as now these stupid low efficiency CFL's.There has been hardly a murmur about the ecological damage all this mercury can cause. See you in Alice's Wonderland where all the other 'Mad Hatter's Disease' sufferers dwell. (Mercury poisoning)

    A point made on an American forum was the energy cost in making CFL's. The ceramic base requires a large quantity of energy to manufacture. The electronic ballast/inverter is vulnerable to damage from mains borne surge, impulse, lightning damage, resulting in the CFL having to be replaced.

    A side note about CFL's: Because the inverter operates around 36 - 40 KHz, they can disrupt the operation of your TV and video remote controls - which operate at a carrier frequency of 36 - 40 KHz, even though the signal medium is infra red, the light floods the receiver with false signals.

    Also, the current item you must have - large screen LCD TV's have a bank of linear CFL's as back lighting for the screen eg. a 30" LCD has a bank of 8x CFL's, and these items are looking like being disposable items in 2-3 years (too costly to repair).

    Geoff H.
