Australia's precarious position 
http://www.iahf.com/asia/20001029.html

We're witnessing the end stage of a centuries old push towards a global totalitarian state, but people such as the UPP in Australia, the APFN Network in the USA, the Canadian Action Party, IAHF and allied pro vitamin access, libertarian groups worldwide are sharing information to expose and counter this agenda to "harmonize" the laws world wide to suit the greed driven genocidal actions of the ruling elite, the UN and the multinational corporations that control the UN.

Please see the recommended reading section at http://www.iahf.com/ and especially take notice of the last book listed: MASS CONTROL Engineering Human Consciousness by Jim Keith which I strongly encourage people world wide to read.

PUBLIC NOTICE.  
www.iahf.com/asia/20001029.html 

I Joseph Richard Bryant attended a public meeting held at the Burwood RSL Club on Sunday 8 October 2000.

The meeting was called by The Institute of Taxation Research (ITR) and was addressed by a Mr John Lamont (M.D.) an Mr Wayne Levick (lawyer).

The speakers announced that:

The ITR and its co-organisation The Institution for Constitutional Education and Research has invited the United Nations into Australia to:

* Establish an interim military government in Australia.
* Install an interim Constitution filed with the UN by the ITR.
* Abolish the existing Federal, State and Local governments.
* Abolish all foundation and existing law.
* To give Australia a totally new start.
* That copies of the interim constitution filed with the UN are not available.
* That the speakers had not seen the interim constitution.
* That this was to be the last ITR public meeting due to the fact that they would be completely tied up with UN procedures from this point of time.
* That they expect the UN to take control within weeks.
* Two books of papers said to be the UN application were on display.
* On sale a book containing the papers as filed with the UN (not including the filed constitution) to bring about the above actions.

This is the first time I have been made aware of the proposal. I spoke against it at the meeting. The proposal is an act of treason of the highest order.

UPP Constitutional objectives 

* To involve the interests of all Australians in our Constitutional situation.
* To put in place a fresh Commonwealth of Australia Constitution via a referendum of all citizens who choose to vote at the referendum.
* The fresh Constitution is based on our inherited Constitutional Law including the system established by the 1901 Constitution.
* This fresh Constitution shall be drafted by the people, as opposed to an elite group consisting mainly of legally trained politicians. The objective is to re-establish what has been lost by the way of checks and balance in our governmental system, and
* To undeniably establish in the fresh Constitution the immutable principle whereby the people are sovereign and hold all political power, some only of which they delegate to others via the fresh Constitution, and
* To include in the fresh Constitution a method whereby all government officials swear allegiance to the Australian people and the constitution under sufferance of penalty.
* Include a responsible method by which the people can propose amendments to the Constitution and amend it by referendum, and
* Include a responsible method whereby the people can readily without personal expense enforce the Constitutional rules, and
* Include a responsible method by which the people can over-ride the parliament via referendum, to initiate an action or to veto an action or to recall any employee of government from duty, and
* To make, parliament, ministers and all other government positions responsible to the people for their actions
* To properly and responsibly limit the power of government and in so doing guarantee the peoples fundamental rights.

All this we undertake to accomplish with the help of active citizens.

Australia's Constitutional position today  

A chronology of events that had major effects on our constitutional position.

Where is Australia Constitutionally? 
What are our alternatives? 
Where to from here?

This paper lists items researched by United People Power leading to the introduction of the "Alternative Three" project.

Australia's progress from Constitutional Monarchy to "undefined republic", and on to a UN-controlled unconstitutional never-never land.

You are invited to check the information contained herein, and to fill in any gaps;

UPP will continue it's research. The research so far, has produced irrefutable proof that Australia is in a state of immense constitutional danger, as is the freedom and economic wellbeing of its people.

The following schedule of events is evidence that Australia has entered a constitutional never-never land. As a result a complete constitutional review is essential and a matter of great urgency. A review that must be carried out by the people and not by the establishment.

1897 to 1997, one hundred years of events that have influenced Australia.

How it was - The Monarch, The Crown, The Privy Council, Common Law - The Laws of England, six colonies under the Crown - Australia, subjects of and with allegiance to the Monarch -- Six States -- The Constitution - Federation - Independence - Republic - ????.

What is today: A centralist Government in Canberra implementing the UN's orders. A government fully prepared to keep all in the dark and trap them at every opportunity.

This paper sets out dates of events that lead to the never-never that Australia faces as we approach the turn of the new millennium. Certain logical and legal outcomes flow from the events listed.

THE TIME HAS ARRIVED for the people to re-assess Australia's position, and to decide on positive action is needed to address the unconstitutional position we have got ourselves into.

 * indicates material added to original document. Update of events in 1998 is not yet complete.

There must be another way. Summarised, the forgoing chronology establishes that Australia has been moved off course by world events, from a Constitutional Monarchy, to a defacto republic.

A nation in grave Constitutional danger. All this occurred as a result of lot of pushing by certain internationalists; Britain herself has cast Australia adrift and broken the chain of legal links it had with the Australian people.

With the help of the High Court, which can now be seen as little more than an agent for a foreign power---the United Nations, Australians have had stolen from them, their legal and rightful links with English Common Law, links that once guaranteed Australians their natural and fundamental rights under the law.

We at United People Power arrive at the forgoing conclusion from the chronology of events set out above. We believe the facts are beyond dispute, and with more delving we will find more evidence that will confirm Australia's situation as having entered a constitutional never-never land.

Australia stands at the crossroads, there is no way back, we are left with three choices, to the right a road to more of the same dictatorship, to the left a road to an unknown republican dictatorship, or straight ahead to build on the Constitutional foundation that we all have faith in.

The reality is this, Australians have not retained access to the rights of Englishmen via Magna Carta and The Bill of Rights and the other Great Charters of free men; the right to justice and mercy under Common Law is no longer a right in Australia, but a privilege very often denied as is the right to self defence. We are in a never-never land.

The Monarchists-cum-No-Republic people however well intentioned they may be, offer no solution to the dilemma facing all Australians. Any attempt to prevent our move from where we are constitutionally, is an attempt at national suicide.

The republicans are driven by one of two things, a hatred of the past and our heritage, or/and a burning desire to retain and increase elite/government control over people, and they will use every deception to accomplish their goal, many not realising the consequences of their actions. The planned referendum is one monstrous deception, where Australians may well be tricked into approving the existing dictatorial constitution that the people one hundred years ago rejected. Approval with or without a new name for the so called Head of State.

The road ahead is well set out in the "Alternative Three" proposals. All Australians should make themselves fully conversant with Alternative Three, and compare this with what the others have to offer.

The planned 1999 Constitutional referendum will either get Australia back on track or it will prove to be the end of Australia as we know it was and can be again; and as we all wish it to be again. The decision will be yours and mine. We need to make our decision early and convince all we come in contact with, that there is a road to prosperity; it is the Alternative Three road. The road bringing power to the people and real opportunity in our pursuit of happiness.

30 Key questions about the Australian taxation system  
©1998 ITR
The Institute of Taxation Research
http://casual.5u.com/ITR.html

1. Why does the Institute of Taxation Research exist? 
Most of the members of the Institute are old enough to remember when Australia's taxation system maintained some degree of fairness and ordinary Australian's could retain a significant proportion of the results of hard work.  Over the 15 years from 1983 to 1998 there has been a significant shift in taxation.  Even lowly paid workers are being taxed at rates which used to be reserved for managers and professionals, managers and professionals are being taxed at rates formerly reserved for the rich and most significantly the rich are hardly being taxed at all.

The official figures tell it all.  Companies which do 70% of Australia's business pay 10% of Australia's tax.  The small companies and individuals who do 30% of Australia's business pay 90% of the tax and the Australian Taxation Office is concentrating on making this 30% pay an even bigger percentage.

ITR's sole reason for existence is to bring this state of affairs to an end.  On the day Australia gets a fair taxation system the Institute will gladly close it's doors.


2. Will the Howard government's proposed changes with a GST and income tax adjustments create a fair taxation system?
Not even a slightly fairer system.  In fact ITR research suggests the major multinational companies will be able to reduce their tax payments even below today's meagre rates.

3. What are the major losses caused by the current taxation system?
There are three categories of losses created for the community by the current system.  Firstly, individual saving, either for normal family needs or for retirement, is penalised at every turn.  The result is that Australia has one of the lowest savings rates in the civilised world guaranteeing there is a shortage of capital for development of ideas, businesses and infrastructure.

Secondly, businesses are penalised for having employees.  High taxation means much higher total wages are needed to provide even basic living standards for the average worker.  The result is that many Australian companies now import their products rather than employing Australian workers either directly or indirectly to make them.  At ITR we have also seen many businesses forced to close by the ATO, putting the staff out of work.

Thirdly, large capital imports are needed to pay for capital works and the imported goods from countries which don't have punitive taxation systems.  This forces the value of the Australian dollar down, diverts the returns from Australian exports to overseas financiers in the form of interest and the interest charges plus devaluation forces the costs of imported goods up in relation to Australian incomes.

After 15 years of the current system Australians are measurably poorer than they were.  Most discretionary incomes have shrunk, large numbers are out of work, and our living standards have slipped tremendously in relation to the rest of the OECD nations.

4. Why haven't we previously heard about the Institute of Taxation Research?
The Institute itself is new and is focussed totally on taxation.  It was only formed in July 1998 after members witnessed a series of small businesses being closed and their workers sacked as the result of ATO activity rather than tough business conditions.  However, the members have been working at the research parts of the project for up to 25 years and key members of the legal profession have been applying the principles to battles with the ATO and other authorities for at least five years.  The Institute itself does not act as the lawyer for clients though there are legally qualified people on staff.

The support group for the Institute, which consists of over 400 highly qualified and successful Australians including some 20 senior counsel and 5 professors of constitutional law.  In addition, it has the support of the professionals of International Law at two prestigious overseas universities.

Despite being new, the Institute is recognised by the Government and the ATO as a major threat.  As a result, at government request, the media imposed a blackout on the constitutional issues.  Occasionally, the blackout leaks and the public gets a brief glimpse.  But no follow-up stories are ever allowed to see the light of day.  The self-interest of the major news proprietors and the government coincide.  Truth is the casualty - as usual in these matters.

5. Why is ITR a threat to the ATO and the Government?
Most Australian's believe the ATO is all-powerful and invulnerable.  They believe that it is backed by legislation and powers which can defeat all except the few super-rich members of the community who also can afford unlimited legal advice of the highest quality.  In its press releases the ATO is consistently threatening and intimidatory - not the least towards journalists.  ITR's research has shown this aggression and intimidation is based on bluff - and that the Commissioner of Taxation and those closest to him are very well aware of how shaky the legal ground is on which they stand but their response has been to increase the aggression.  But for the first time in Australia's history individual ATO officers are being cited before the courts, stripped of their legislative protection, and for the first time personally answerable for their actions.  Legally the ATO and the government are servants of the United Kingdom...and Australian sovereignty means they can't be.

DEALING WITH THE A.T.O.

19. Will I go onto an ATO hit list if I use this historical and legal knowledge?
*Anyone who has received an amended ATO notice is ALREADY on an ATO hit list.

In fact anyone in any reasonably well paid occupation is already on an ATO hit list. As the time of writing this document, the ATO had publicly attacked footballers, blitzed builders, wiped out a group of publishers, and was attacking people who invested in superannuation schemes, investments in film and television, investors in agriculture research projects, backers of stage shows etc, to name a few targets. About the only people the ATO doesn't have on a hit list are the major multinational companies who pay little or no tax in Australia.

20. But I do my taxation return carefully and absolutely honestly - aren't I safe?
* We wish you were. But the record shows, and every tax accountant knows, that if the ATO decides to audit your affairs they will not accept that you got everything right. In any case the tax laws are so complex and contradictory that if you get something right by one measure it can be made wrong by another tax measure if the ATO decides you have to be punished even if for no reason other than they don't like the way you look. horror stories abound of the various ways in which ATO officers invented faults in order to justify the audit taking place. The sad truth is that even the most honest citizens are not safe when dealing with the ATO.

21. But don't the ATO have incredible powers to investigate and punish?
* In a nutshell, NO! And what's more they never really had these powers. It didn't matter so much when the old Taxation Department was simply an arm of the government, strict but operating very carefully and correctly. However the transition from Taxation Department to Australian Tax Office introduced a new culture where bonuses are paid on the basis of the amount of tax collected. Not all ATO officers are on a bonus but enough are to make putting a return in no better than a lottery - but a lottery you can't win, you can only lose. AND THEY PUT PART OF YOUR LOSS IN THEIR OWN POCKET.

22. But don't they always win in court?
*Not any more. The court system may not be about truth, that disappeared long time ago from the British/Australian system. It is about procedure and precedent and the rules of court and these can be turned against the TO. It is a question of saying to the ATO "forget your rules and play according to ours where the dice aren't loaded your way."

23. Is it that simple as just writing a letter to the ATO and setting out the facts?
* We wish it was but the truth is the lower ranks of the 11,000 tax office employees are deliberately kept in the dark by their superiors otherwise the honest lower rankers would refuse to collect illegal taxes. So the ATO has produced a number of computer generated letters which are used to answer letters from taxpayers on constitutional matters. They are full of legal and historical errors but the bluff often works and if someone fights back they are referred to special sections who know a bit more.

A monster like the ATO doesn't just roll over and die but like all dragons it can be killed and its fire put out. It does take persistence and knowledge about how the dragon lives.

24. But don't people get sent to gaol for tax evasion?
*Tax evasion presumes two conditions

A. Legal taxes
B. Illegal manoeuvres used to escape the legal taxes

A. The taxes are totally illegal
B. The best manoeuvres to prevent their collection are 110% legal

25 Then why can't we go to our normal legal advisers for protection?
*If you have honest legal advisers you can. The difficulty is that the average solicitor is part of the legal system and their entire income and status depend on them continuing to support the status quo.
But there is another problem. When most of these lawyers were studying law, they simply accepted the validity of the Constitution without question and now they find it impossible to question the basic law on which their entire career depends. There are a few with intellectual honesty needed to examine the facts regardless of where that leads. If you have one of these lawyers value them highly.

26. What if my legal adviser wants a Q.C's opinion on this?
* Then your legal adviser has no confidence in his own ability to read history.

Opinions are about the meaning of laws but every Q.C's opinion in the world can't change the historical facts. Professor D.P.O'Connell, a world expert on international law explained in International Law Volume 1,. 1970 that at no matter what form a change of sovereignty takes there is a break in legal continuity. The law of one sovereign power comes to an end and the law of the new sovereign power begins.

Sovereignty is a fact which has its own imperatives. And the facts of sovereignty are there to read - in the parliamentary Hansard records of 10th September, 1919, in the Paris newspapers of 28th June and 29 June 1919, in the writings of Australia's official World War One historian Dr C.E.W Bean, in the declaration of the Inter Imperial Relations Committee of 1926, in the speech of King George V accepting the Diplomatic Credentials of Sir Joseph Cooke as Australia's High Commissioner to London and in the Report by the Senate Legal and Constitutional References Committee dated November 1995 on the Commonwealth Power to Make and Implement Treaties as well as major legal texts published 25 years or more ago.

The main concern that most Q.C's reveal in the discussions is that these facts will produce widespread chaos. We believe that most citizens' lives will be relatively unaffected in the short term. The chaos will principally affect lawyers - justice indeed since they've kept everyone else in the dark for years.

Unfortunately hiding the facts is no longer possible. After all the events which are the cause of these problems happened some 80 years ago.

27. What can the A.T.O. do to counter this?
* Nothing. For the first time in its existence the ATO has no defences except for a corrupt legal system. But don't count it simply melt away. There are still over 9 million Australians paying tax and the ATO will take as much from everyone as they can until the day no one will pay them anymore. 28 June 1919 was Australia's day of independence. The day the ATO finally gives up is the date of Australia's freedom.

29. Should I discuss this with my accountant?
* Yes of course. In general it can be presumed that accountants are fully on their client's side but with the position that if they are registered tax agents they will be very careful about their relations with the ATO.

The bottom line is that the constitutional issues will change the emphasis of the work accountants do, shifting away from the purely negative activity of dealing with the ATO into positive protection and promotion of your interest including less restricted advice about investments. They will probably also enjoy no longer having to be the bearers of bad news for their clients unless a business or individual is in trouble for reasons other than taxation.

30. Why should I believe everything in this booklet?
*Without checking you shouldn't. Blind faith is for fools and idiots. But each of the historical facts existed long before we uncovered them and international law wasn't formulated for the ITR's benefit. Use the internet and local libraries. You won't be able to uncover the range of material we have found over 25 years, but you will find enough to convince yourself of the truth. That's what this is all about - just the truth. And as a wise friend of ITR said "The truth eventually exposes itself. Facts can't be kept secret forever."
