Why vote Alternative Three?

 THE REFERENDUM

Most Aussies would rather go to the footie than take an interest in the thing that most effects their lives - the Constitution.

The Government is more than happy with this attitude as it puts them in total control.

Whether you vote Yes or No, government WINS… you and I - LOSE.

The WORLD BANK rates Australia as, per capita, the asset-richest country in the world. Politicians are selling off all of our tax-purchased assets to foreigners. Still our foreign debt is exploding at $4m per hour*. The Commonwealth Mint is printing money at the rate of $2.7m per hour. Personal debt increases at 15% p.a. The real unemployment figure is around 25% and the true inflation rate is hidden by government in similar manner.

90% of industry is foreign owned as is 85% of the grocery trolley and yet 90% of our country’s Annual Budget comes from your PAYE Tax.(Foreign owned business pay virtually no tax.)

Health, aged care, education, police and defence budgets are being squeezed to death.

The ecology of our country and its people are basically being ignored. Youth suicides are per capita, highest in the world. There have been 500,000 Australian refugees, Australians from country to Cities and crime and drugs are out of control and increasing.

In July before the Federal Election, amendment 125 to the Electoral Act very quietly ensured you lost your direct choice and the demise of small parties and independents.

The Acts for the Preamble and Republic have already been prepared, - you have no say.

The Act presumes to give the Preamble no effect and yet you are being asked to vote on it, if it gets approval the high Court will have no option but to give the preamble effect. - Trickery?

The people who without flinching gave you all of the above, are saying things have never been better and are asking you to vote YES to give them even more power. A YES gives the government a blank cheque to change the Constitution to suit themselves, check out the Act.

The popular Media is responsible for the day to day information supplied to Australians and is supporting the YES vote. Discount this by the fact that the media's main source of income is from large multinational organisations, banks and government.

The Monarchists, it seems, are shut off to the fact that we have been a republic since 1920 and remain driven by misinformation and blind loyalty in the belief that somehow the monarch protects our rights, when this protection faded in 1920, then to be finally to be cancelled totally by the Australia Act 1986, which the Queen signed into law on the Royal Yacht in Sydney Harbour finally abdicating her role as protector of our liberty and justice (rights).

Some may not realise that when Australia became a foundation member of the League of Nations in 1920, under those terms, it became an Independent Sovereign Nation and again in 1945 upon joining the United Nations both times with the assent of Great Britain.

Queen Victoria’s Letters Patent 1900 established the power of the Governor General under the Constitution. These Letters Patent remain an essential part of the Constitution, cancelled in 1984 under the signature of RJ Hawk making our Constitution a lame duck. It is this lame duck that the government is looking to the people to approve in the November referendum. Just such an approval will flow from either YES or NO votes as both approve the lame duck either with a Governor-General or a President, - the main trick in a very tricky referendum.

You may have noticed High Court overruling our Constitutional rights and in fact reading rights into the constitution where none exist; and the Prime Minister despatching the armed forces (ie. declaring War) rather than the Governor General (Crown). Adding to the lame duck problems is the fact that the lame duck constitution has never received the peoples approval, the sole reason for the referendum.

Australia is not a Monarchy. A NO vote will give Monarchists exactly what they have been getting since 1920 and will legitimise the 80-year lie, which is fast approaching a Dictatorship.

Both a YES and a NO vote will have the same effect.

Alternative Three or A3, — under the Constitution and the Act, is formal as long as the voters intention is clear.

If you tick or mark either box, on either of the referendum papers you are voting for a lie and sealing Australia's fate as a dictatorship. If you mark your paper A3 you are voting to give the people the right to their own Constitution - a universally accepted right.

If 10% vote Alternative Three or A3, the YES or NO vote would then need 56% to gain a majority. - If A3 was to receive 20% the yes or no vote would then require 62.5% to win. If neither get the numbers then and only then will the status quo remain unchanged. Don’t be fooled, - every vote that is not a yes counts against the yes option.

The referendum needs a majority of all voters in four of the six states and nationally (double majority) to succeed and a hung result will leave us with the status quo still in place but without the establishment's much needed peoples' approval of their very deceptive lame duck. At worst it will be a forceful demand on politicians to listen.
