Bravo!
Someone had to bring up the Bill of Rights from the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
Trouble is, if people don't know something they tend to dismiss or ignore it.
But yes, the Bill of Rights is still in force.
It is indeed still in force, in fact we witnessed the AFP searching Labor party offices, even their Parliamentary chambers!! for the NBN co (stolen?) documents....
What was the Labor party response? they invoked PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OVER THE DOCUMENTS to absolve themselves of any legal repercussion...(a long bow pulling if ever I've seen one!)
YET we plebs/proles can not have arms for the defence of our families?
Those of you paying attention would realise they are both provisions of the 'fantasy of the Bill of Rights of 1688;
9. That the freedom of speech, and debates or proceedings in parliament, ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of parliament.With the BoR directly legislated or additional laws such as the Commonwealth PP Act which reinforces to above;
16 Parliamentary privilege in court proceedings (1) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared and enacted that
the provisions of article 9 of the Bill of Rights, 1688 apply in relation to the Parliament of the Commonwealth and....which only applies when it suits these trough feeders..... I'll bet a beer to anyone who questions their local MPs whether the BoR of 1688 applies.... that they'll scoff and laugh off the question - oh that an old irrelevant document....
