I have read the beginning of this post & I wanted to ask Josh why he was targeting areas where it is proposed for Coal Seam Gas Mining?

Has anyone on this thread even bothered to do any due diligence as to the detrimental effects of this process, not only to the environment (it poisons our very precious deep water table) but it is devastating lives in health issues (especially in children) also the poor farmers who have had their land stolen by these crooked corporations, aided & abetted by an equally corrupt government!!

Anyone with even a slight conscience should do their own research into this travesty that has been allowed into our country. A good place to start are these links:

We should be boycotting areas where these mines are being set up & the corporations who are responsible.

I do not have case law. I do know that there are cases testing this. I do not know how they have progressed. Maybe ask the website owner. I am only a citizen trying to do my own due dilligence, lol.

Whatever you may think of the website & the views on it & you are entitled to your opinion, as are we all, they are winning the battle & doing an excellent job at helping out the average struggling person. They do not get paid for this, it is all free.

Those letters may not be up to your standard but I do know they have won victories for people & in the end that is all that matters doesn't it?

I'm sorry, isn't this what you meant by this post?

Hope this answers one of your questions regarding constitutional law ruling over all.

In September 5th 2006 the Case of – Forge versus Australian Securities and Investments – all seven High Court Judges stated unanimously that the Constitution reigns supreme.

You didn't have to be sarcastic.

I said nothing about a court hearing constitutional matters. I said the High Court agreed with our constitution.

Common law can be used in any court because IT IS the law. The Commonwealth of Australia is a Common Law Jurisdiction and that all the Courts of Australia are Common Law Courts.

I didn't say that these threats came from the banks. You presumed that. I did not say where they came from.

I knew the barrister this happened to personally. This person was so scared that they left the law altogether, others have received threats too. It goes on all the time in certain circles.

The murders were as a result of a person claiming (in the supreme court) that another "certain" court was acting in an unconstitutional manner & also brought up allegations of lawyers taking bribes. It was in the news. It is all true. This evidence was presented by a retired police officer who was also well conversed in constitutional law & had been helping the murdered person in their case.

Many people have been led to believe that legislation takes precedence over common law but it does not. Do your own due diligence. Have you actually studied our constitution? It was put in place to protect the people.

The original Constitutional Commonwealth of Australia are still in operation and still exist for they can only be removed by a referendum of, for and by the people. The people of Australia have not voted in a referendum to have the Constitution of Australia removed. It still stands.

Just last year some citizen's in the UK arrested a judge for treason using common law. Their legislation was useless to prevent it.

People in Australia have successfully contested speeding fines, parking fines, paying council rates & charges using common law. Where was the legislation in these cases?

Some people do not want to believe this could be true because it would open up a pandora's box wouldn't it? Not to mention the revenue out of the window.

Having said that it must be done properly & in order & why these people have spent a huge amount of time doing their due dilligence. In the end the law (common law) prevailed.

Hi Terry

Thanks for the info & yes I do understand what you are saying. The problem I have is that there are now too many rules & regs, always with money attached, on the population instead of regulating the greedy coporations that need it the most.

The 'free people' & 'unconstitutiinal' statements come from the fact that I have been studying this a lot lately & found that many of the laws, acts & rules we have been made to live under (mostly for the financial benefit of governments & corporations like the banks) are in fact illegal under our constitution.

It is unfortunate that many citizens of this country do not know their rights under our constitution, especially since it was stopped from being taught in our schools in 1975.

Just my beef right now so just ignore it if you have no interest in it, lol.

Many people do not realise that variable interest rates charged by the banks are illegal, so are council by-laws (we voted that one out in a 1988 referendum) but now accept it as a fact of life without questioning it. So parking & speeding fines are all illegal too.

There is so much more & unfortunately people are totally clueless as to the erroding of their rights & why it is happening.

Not many people know that under our constitution our government has the power to restore the financial balance & not be indebted to the banks. We shouldn't have a deficit nor be so highly taxed. A majority of our taxes go to paying the government's debt to the banks.

There are laws in our constitution where our government can make it's own money for infrastructure but instead allows the banks to create money out of thin air instead where they then charge us interest on this fictitiously created wealth.

Thank you Paul for your quick & honest reply.

I did some more research last night & I like the way Dave & Julie present their seminars. I watched the hour long video on their website after a Google search & scrolling through a lot of other sites to find what I was looking for. I do realise that any business takes work, especially to get started.

Although I have not invested in RE before it is something I have always had a passion for so I have done much research in the past. Unfortunately due to circumstances outside of my control, I have not been in a position to invest in the usual ways. I do have my family home though so that is a start. I just need the guidance on how to go about vendor finance & the legal's etc as I feel that this modality is the way to go for me right now.

There are plenty of bargains of quality properties in my area right now, which is a fairly new estate with restrictive covenants & an extremely popular area as houses do not usually stay on the market as long as other areas.

Even though there is a lot of RE for sale in my city, it is still one of the fastest growing areas in WA with rentals in high demand & my estate is the choice to live in over other areas in the city. I know my city very well, which areas to buy in & where not to go. <moderator: delete advertising>
 
I do have some other ideas where I can save money once I get started, using SMSF, where taxes can be brought down to zero on any capital gains & some income, especially at my age, to help speed up the wealth building process, which would benefit me greatly right now, especially at retirement.
