While people were sleeping, two things were added to it before it was passed in fine print:

→ They gave themselves permission to turn forces against Australian citizens, including but not limited to protestors

→ They took away the right for citizens to charge any parliamentarian with treason.

BASTARDS—WHY the Government wants Foreign Interference Legislation

by concit admin|Published June 11, 2018

Hidden in the current Foreign Interference legislation before Parliament is additional legislation that should be of concern to all Australians. It changes Treason offences against our Country. It seeks to change the definition of treachery and “modernise it”. Politicians that undermine the Constitution of the Commonwealth by using illegal lawmaking will no longer able to be prosecuted by law after it is passed. The Attorney’s General Department is simply using Foreign Interference to rush this “modernised” treachery legislation through our Parliament.

According to the Department of Attorney General website under TREASON TREACHERY and OFFENCES against the GOVERNMENT new changes are being proposed to existing legislation.

“The existing offence of treason in the Criminal Code does not refer to modern international terminology relating to armed conflict. Existing offences for treachery and offences designed to protect the security and defence of the Commonwealth under Part II of the Crimes Act are archaic and outdated. Although rarely used, these offences are a critical part of Commonwealth criminal law and are being updated to appropriately reflect the modern Australian context.”

Have a look at what needs modernising. They have removed all references to overthrowing the Constitution of the Commonwealth by revolution or sabotage and modernised the overthrowing the Government by force.

EXISTING: CRIMES ACT 1914 – SECT 24AA – TREACHERY

(1) A person shall not: (a) do any act or thing with intent:

(i) to overthrow the Constitution of the Commonwealth by revolution or sabotage; or

(ii) to overthrow by force or violence the established government of the Commonwealth, of a State or of a proclaimed country; or (4)

NEW PROPOSED LEGISLATION – TREACHERY

9.25 The Bill proposes to replace the existing ‘Treachery’ offence in section 24AA of the Crimes Act with a modernised offence in section 80.1AC of the Criminal Code. The Explanatory Memorandum provides:

The new treachery offence will criminalise the use of force or violence intended to overthrow the Constitution, the Government of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory or the lawful authority of the government of the Commonwealth.20 (2)

(NOTE also the change of terms from government of the Commonwealth 1914 to Government of the Commonwealth. The Government now has a capital “G” meaning reflecting the new legal entity—a Company “Government of Australia” instead of a system of government encased in the Constitution of the Commonwealth. The Constitution of the Commonwealth has been altered to “the Constitution” of what exactly, the Australia Act or the Constitution of the Commonwealth, or are we getting ready for a Republic and a new Constitution?
