To
Dear Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General,
It is requested that you provide a copy of the original Australia Acts Request Act 1985 containing the Royal Coat of Arms used to Seal the document i.e. you provide a copy of the front and rear page of the certified copy, your office relied on for its valid creation.
I would also like to establish the current status of the Act, if the above Act has been Repealed, or is it "No Longer in force"?
For what reasons was it either repealed or the Act No Longer in Force, which ever might apply?
Yours faithfully,
Brett Wilson
