Exposing the lies of GEORGE HENRY BRANDIS, JOSHUA ANTHONY FRYDENBERG and MALCOLM BLIGH TURNBULL.
It makes me quite angry to see the shenanigans being carried out by the liars that infest OUR parliaments, namely the fe’ral parliament in Canberra.
GEORGE HENRY BRANDIS is a German citizen or at least is ENTITLED to the rights and privileges of a German citizen. The point being missed by all and sundry is that Section 44 of OUR constitution is THE paramount law of OUR land and is not there for anybody to breach and that it does not just mean being under acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience or adherence to a foreign power, but being otherwise ENTITLED to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power. Ergo, being entitled to a passport of a foreign power prohibits any person sitting in OUR fe’ral parliament.
BRANDIS IS A LIAR AND NOT ELIGIBLE TO SIT IN OUR PARLIAMENT.
The bedwetting snowflakes and job protectionists who whinge and whine saying that we should forget the problem and get on with more important things, and this includes many radio talk-back hosts do not understand there are no more important things than getting the liars, manipulators and connivers out of OUR parliament now. It is not a difficult thing to ascertain who is and who is not eligible.
It is the job of the Governor-General and the Australian Federal Police to sort out the mess, not the parliament.
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
(ii) is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer; or
(iii) is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent; or
(iv) holds any office of profit under the Crown, or any pension payable during the pleasure of the Crown out of any of the revenues of the Commonwealth; or
(v) has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company consisting of more than twenty‑five persons;
shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives.
But subsection (iv) does not apply to the office of any of the Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth, or of any of the Queen’s Ministers for a State, or to the receipt of pay, half pay, or a pension, by any person as an officer or member of the Queen’s navy or army, or to the receipt of pay as an officer or member of the naval or military forces of the Commonwealth by any person whose services are not wholly employed by the Commonwealth. Editor: Please note the Governor General according to the Constitution is still paid in pounds, shillings and pence.
to me it is a no-brainer that they have all aimed to bend the law to suit themselves as always is the case, with the attitude that they are holier than thou and the dumb middle-class won’t realise anything,They are the head of Australia where we put them and as such must pay the highest price!!
Why do we continue to insist that this is somehow an innocent mistake. The game has always been don’t ask , don’t tell. I say this from personal experience in the electoral game. Everyone knew their status but it was just ignored. It is only because some pesky journalists finally decided to do their job properly that the ‘game’ has come under scrutiny. It is not about reading or understanding the rules; it is about enforcing them.
Read the article.Ed
According to that it would depend weather he was born before 1975 doesn’t it?
This whole drama needs to stop check each and everyone and then all that have not came forward need to be sacked immediately
he also has an american Green card for working in the USA and a house in New york
isnt that Malcolm Turnbull as well then werent his parents or GrANDPArents 10\- poms
Surely the political party that is accepting the nomination would do a thorough check of the nominee. Yes, the nominee should, but the party should check it.
Is there a credible source for this aspersion about German parents please?
Those who fail or failed to adhere to constitutal requirement should never , or never again be allowed to run for the Australian Parliament or the Senate, or any state Government position .
They should have all benifits and privileges recindered or cancelled immediately..
The quickest way to sort this is to MANDATE that any person putting up for FERAL Parliament in the future must be a 2nd Generation Australian… It’s obvious that this Multicultural Crap is not working. Australians are being dictated to by FOREIGNERS
I’m curious as to George Brandis origins …
The article doesn’t state exactly how Brandis is entitled to German citizenship – though it’s obviously not by birth. So let’s please hear the story behind George’s origins …?
Thank you Phillip you are absolutely correct. If we didn’t have some rules to start with, albeit much of them are ignored, then where would we finish?Ed
Section 44 is quite clear. The word “ENTITLED” is the operative word. Being entitled to the rights and privileges of a citizen of a foreign power does not mean being a citizen and holding a passport of that foreign power. We are all “ENTITLED” to an aged pension from the date of birth ff you reach retirement age to collect it and fit the requirements at retirement age. You are entitled until you either collect it or fail to fit the criterion of not having too may assets. Entitlement to a passport of a foreign power whether or not you action that entitlement is irrelevant as entitlement prohibits you from being a member of the Commonwealth Parliament. End of story.
It’s not too much ask of those who wish to be our elected representatives, to perform basic due diligence on their own validity to seek such a position. If they are unable to do this most basic task what confidence do we have they will act in our interests once elected, seeing as they could not be bothered to respect the laws enabling their position to exist
I have lived all my long life believing that you are a citizen of any country that you are born in.. Your parents can come from Mars, but it you are born on Austrlian soil then you are an Australian. In actual fact my father came from Finland when he was 19 and died age 51. Are they trying to say that I have allegiance to Finland?? . I do NOT believe that this is how Section 44 should be interpreted. Those who were born here at Australians, regardless of where their parents came from. If they were not born on Australian soil, then that is a different matter altogether, and should have sought Australian citizenship before standing for parliament. All the articles I have read do not clearly say whether the person being investigated was atually born here. We need to know that. Our whole Constitution is built on the Queen, the United Kingdom and inherited laws, until such time that we change it in a Referendum.
As stated in the article “But subsection (iv) does not apply to the office of any of the Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth, or of any of the Queen’s Ministers for a State, ”
The Constitution – which courtesy of this dual citizenship, we now know is alive and well – states at
s7 …no Original State shall have less than six senators.
s24 But not withstanding anything in this section, five members at least [for the House of Reps] shall be chosen in each Original State.
Therefore my question for you and your readers is this:
WHO are the Queen’s Ministers of State for both the Commonwealth and the Original States?
The English language was given to this continent, trouble is it is not understood. The First Fleet should have learned the Aboriginal Language of the land!
Being ENTITLED to claim a citizenship does not mean one is a citizen. Might as well
demand all voters prove themselves only Australian citizens before they vote! Ridiculous!
