Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I know that it is my duty to keep you informed of MY WILL on anything that comes before Parliament, or that should come before Parliament.

IT IS MY WILL that you provide me with evidence that the corporation registered in the United States of America as the Commonwealth of Australia (http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?...) is the same organisation as the Commonwealth of Australia, which is authorized in the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/c...) by the Queen of England and her successors.

IT IS MY WILL that you provide me with evidence that shows where the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution authorizes the Commonwealth of Australia to become a corporation registered in the United States of America.

IT IS MY Will that a referendum be held that gives the electors of Australia the opportunity to vote for or against the Commonwealth of Australia being a registered corporation in the United States of America. This request only applies if the Commonwealth of Australia, registered in the United States of America as a corporation, is the same organisation as the Commonwealth of Australia that is our Government.

Yours faithfully,
James Gray

Dear FOI,
The only response to my request that I can see here is, "The Department will write again when we have further information." How is it possible that the Federal Government cannot forward me documents demonstrating that the Commonwealth of Australia is a legal entity under the Australian Constitution? That is all I am asking for. If it is not, if the Commonwealth of Australia is an American company, surely the Commonwealth of Australia must cease operations immediately and a new Constitutional Government be established in Australia.

Am I missing something in the response that the Department of the Prime Minister has sent me?

Yours sincerely,

Jim Gray

I've found the US Securities and Exchange Commission documents for the Commonwealth of Australia - registered as a foreign government not a company - up to financial year end 2010. There is an annual report and loads of information (all open to public scrutiny): https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/...
I've been looking for annual reports from the past 4 years on the US SEC and Business Registry but can't find any but this requires more patience than I have. Perhaps a request to the Australian Treasury department asking if there are up-to-date annual reports for the SEC CofA registration as a foreigh government entity (able to apply for US loans and credit status) would be more apt than asking for information on the CofA as a US-registered company.

Perhaps a pertinent question would be as to what date the Commonwealth of Australia was listed firstly. as of 1972, Whitlam formed a duplicate Government called The Australian Government whereby the name Commonwealth was deleted out of his duplicate copy of the Constitution and has been running as a corporation until today. The new Government has liberties removed from the People through statutes they have passed. I would be keen to know if the dates coincide and if so we may then have legal standing to dismiss the Australian government and agencies thereof.

It is registered as a cooporation and yes it is ilegal this all started with Goth Whitlam when he ilegally changed the constitution in 1973 Royal Styles and Titles Act and also the Interpretations Act paving the first foot steps then Bob Hawk with his Act of treason know as The Australia Act 1986 however it was Paul Keating that did the registration in 1991 when he did the back door deal with America to devalue the Australian dollar to push up the value of the American dollar putting Australia in the recession Australia had to have its been along plan of treason.

Well its now 2021 in the middle of a covid-19 pandemic and I can see there has been no progress on this question. Under Law isn't no answer to a reasonable question with in a certain period of time that one can assume the answer is yes the Commonwealth of Australia is a company listed within United States of America and therefore anyone working for said company and identifies as an Australian is knowingly or not committing treason against her majesty Queen Elizabeth II?
