This is an open letter to the Governor of Queensland.

I find it necessary to write this letter through the newspapers because previous correspondence to the Governor, received only a curt acknowledgment by a staff member but no reply or acknowledgment from the Governor whatsoever.

I am appealing to the Governor who under the Constitution of Australia is the Representative of Her Majesty the Queen in the State of Queensland and as such the Guardian of our Constitutional and Democratic rights in this State. She is the Servant of the People, not the personal servant of the Government sitting there just to rubber stamp anything that the Government want.

I am appealing to the Governor, to call to order the Government of Queensland, dismiss the Parliament and call a fresh election and at the same time have the new “Constitution” that Peter Beattie created in 2001 put to a referendum of the people as required under the Constitution of Australia.

This Constitution was never allowed to be put to the people and totally removes almost all of our Constitutional and Democratic Rights. It was apparently given Royal Assent by a previous Governor in spite of the fact that the public were not allowed their legal, Constitutional and Democratic right to the Referendum.

These rights that have been taken away are allowed for in this unsanctioned “Constitution” include in part, the power for the Corporate Government of Queensland to seize private land for whatever purpose they see fit, the power to force Industries and Developments through without any consultation or information to the public if they see fit not to do so, and also the power to sell all of the Public Assets of the State without consultation with the public or Public approval to sell those Publicly owned assets, as well as many other actions.

It is the duty of the Governor to question and return to the Parliament and seek further advice on any matter that seems to not be in order or faulty.

The Governor will have to give Royal Assent to the Legislation to sell our Public assets and if she does so then she will be held negligent for not carrying out her duties to the People as required by law and under the Constitution of Australia and will be negligent in Giving Royal Assent to actions that allow the sale of public assets belonging to the People of the State without the approval of the sales by the People.

The present actions are in keeping with the previous Governor who stalled a reply to another very major matter that was drawn to her attention and the reply was held in abeyance for several months, thus allowing Beattie to “change the rules”

I encourage the People to take the time to write to the Governor and the Government and if they are not prepared to return the system of Elected Government and discard the Corporate Govt, Corporate Boards and Corporate Departments then Parliament should be dissolved and the People be given the right to decide on their own future.

There are a couple of questions that I wish to ask of the Government and the local “Boards” that do the dirty work for them.

In the case of the LNG industries being forced on to Curtis Island, has there really been a proper assessment of ALL sites on the Mainland or are we seeing the dreams of certain officials being carried out in spite of the impact on this beautiful island and the Environment?

Is there an element of punishment of the People of this Island and the Gladstone area because of obvious opposition to these forced proposals?

Have the Gas Companies really been given the real story and made aware that there may be other alternatives to curtis Island or are they told, the same as everybody else that this is where you will go and that is it? Perhaps there are other locations other than Gladstone that may even be better.
There is no opposition by the people to the industries, just the way that they are being forced onto Curtis Island without the people being involved.

The other worrying aspect of the whole gas and coal issue is that huge areas of prime food producing areas in the west of the State are being “stolen” from the owners to mine for coal and gas.

Is it not a fact that the Queensland Government have advised their Mining Comrades that they should claim as much of this farming land as they can now because the rules might be changed by the Federal Govt in the future?

Is it not a fact that they have been told that they should secure this farmland now so that far into the future if it is decided that more mining will be carried out, they will have the land and will not be bound to rules of the day because they will already have secured the land with the help of the Corporate Dictatorship of Queensland?

The new Re-vegetation and Land Clearing laws in this State will prevent Farmers from relocating to other sites and so our Domestic and Export Markets and opportunities will suffer and the food production being destroyed will have to be supplemented by imports from foreign countries such as Rudds beloved China where proper safety measures and proper growing practices are not always put in place.

All of this in the name of a massive number of huge LNG and coal industries being forced on to us by Govt Officials and others who seem to only be interested in their own agendas and self gratification.

The wellbeing and safety of the people is paramount. The utopian dreams of these people runs far behind this. These utopian dreamers will be long dead and gone while our Children and Grand Ghildren will have to contend with the legacy of stupidity and possible disastrouscircumstancethat was forced upon us in our time to feed inflated ego’s and self gratification.
