USA severed their Inalienable Natural Rights
All of the hard lessons learned in America were avoided by Australia’s Founding Fathers in the drafting of our Australian Constitution.
Australia’s Founding Fathers laboured over every word, every clause for a period of ten years.

Part 19 – Australia’s Founding Fathers learned from the American experience
Every Australian has access to the verbatim words of our Founding Fathers, captured in the Federation Debates and the later Constitutional Debates that took place over an intensive ten (10) year period commencing in 1890.

Our Founding Fathers, including Henry Parkes were mostly self-educated hard-working Men.
Mentoring by older and more experienced educated Men would often guide their academic studies.
They read the essential classic law books and devoted themselves to hard work and scholarly devoted study outside of their working hours. Their learning was largely self-directed study.

You have been told that your Australian Constitution was drafted by “Elites” and imposed on you. This is entirely false. Again it was a claim made by our enemies.
Our Founding Fathers were all chosen directly by Colonial Individuals who at times placed them under great pressure to do so. This was because initially those representatives served for long periods without financial compensation whatsoever.
Yes, the original Parliamentarians during Colonial times worked long hours for free, because it was an Honour to Serve their Colonies.

Australian Aboriginal Voting
So, what of the suggestion by our uninformed enemies that it also excluded Australian Aboriginal Men from voting, so is “discriminatory” and “racist”?
No doubt today, it would be.
However, again we need to understand the decisions made by our Founding Fathers in the appropriate historical context.
