What is interesting is that this big issue has been virtually overlooked by the media. Regrettably that is not the case. I suggest, sir, you are speaking about a system of parliamentary democracy which you trustingly believe exists in this country, and indeed may have existed once, but which no longer does. Any such system is only as good as the people who administer it. If they cease to play by its rules in order to achieve some ulterior purpose, no Constitution can stop them.
Constitutions are, after all, only words written on paper.
They depend for their effectiveness on the honesty and integrity of the people entrusted with their execution, and the people entrusted with their execution in this country are, unfortunately, no longer trustworthy. The recent signing of the FSIA without any debate in the Parliament might have alerted you to the fact that such treaties do not need to be ratified via the normal parliamentary processes . The signing of hundreds of other treaties with the United Nations which have effectively handed over the political sovereignty of the Australian people since 1983 without any debate in the Parliament, might have alerted you further, but apparently not. The approval of Parliament is not required for the conclusion of a treaty. The words Pursuant to the Constitution are a lie.
