Principality of Range View

Did you know?
The [63 & 64 VICT] Constitution of Australia [CH 12] Constitution Act is British Domestic Law, and as such has been invalid since 1919 when Australia became a nation (at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles).
Clause 8 of this Act reads: "After the passing of this Act the Colonial Boundaries Act, 1895, shall not apply to any colony which becomes a State of the Commonwealth; but the Commonwealth shall be taken to be a self-governing colony for the purposes of that Act".
The Constitution was never altered to allow for Australia as a nation, and so is invalid.
As such, Australia is operating under Britich domestic law, and all governments are therefore invalid.
Principalities, over which the invalid governmennts of the Commonwealth of Australia have no jurisdiction, are 'springing up' everywhere.

Did you know that Local Government and rates are illegal
- In a 'nut shell'-
It can be argued that the [63 & 64 VICT] Constitution of Australia [CH 12] Constitution Act could not relate to Australia since 1919, however this will not be discussed here.
The Constitution was created to combine the Australian colonies into a Commonwealth, and to set the rules by which the Commonwealth would be governed by the people as a self-governing federated colony ( not a nation as Australia became in 1919 ).

The Constitution can only be altered by a referendum. There are no other means by which our system of self-government can be altered.
Clause 9, S1 states: "The legislative power of the Commonwealth shall be vested in a Federal Parliament, which shall consist of the Queen, a Senate, and a House of Representatives, and which is herein-after called "The Parliament or, The Parliament of the Commonwealth."
Clause 9, S 106 states: "The Constitution of each State of the Commonwealth shall, subject to this Constitution, continue as at the establishment of the Commonwealth, or as at the admission or establishment of the State, as the case may be, until altered in accordance with the Constitution of the State."
Clause 9, S 107 states: "Every power of the Parliament of a Colony which has become or becomes a State, shall, unless it is by this Constitution exclusively vested in the parliament of the Commonwealth or withdrawn from the Parliament of the State, continue as at the establishment of the Commonwealth, or as at the admission or establishment of the State, as the case may be."
Clause 9, S 108 states: "Every law in force in a Colony which has become or becomes a State, and relating to any matter within the powers of the Parliament of the Commonwealth, shall, subject to this Constitution, continue in force in the State; and, until provision is made in that behalf by the Parliament of the Commonwealth, the Parliament of the State shall have such powers of alteration and of repeal in respect of any such law as the Parliament of the Colony had until the Colony became a State."

The entity known as Local Government did not exist at the time of the creation of the Commonwealth, therefore there can be no continuance of Local Government law.
In no section within the Australian Constitution is there provision for the Federal or State Parliaments to establish a third level of government without the permission of the people via a Federal Referendum. Entities known as 'local government' did not exist at the time of Federation and are therefore illegal, no matter how they were created. Councils at various times have been unable to prove their Head of Power and legality to numerous citizens.

Notwithstanding that rates are then illegal because Local Government is illegal, it can also be shown that rates are illegal under Australia's Constitution.
The Courts of Australia have long held that council rates are a tax.
The High Court ruled that State Governments couldn't raise any tax.
Local Government is subordinate to State Government.
Furthermore, John Howard, Peter Costello and Michael Carmody all stated before the introduction of the GST (Goods and Services Tax) "Local government Council Rates will attract no GST because Council Rates are a tax and we can't tax a tax." Under Australia's Constitution, the Parliaments of the States do not have the power of taxation. Under Australia's Constitution, rates, being a tax, are illegal as only the Federal Government can enforce taxation.

What about Fee Simple title?
Webster's Legal Dictionary, 1889, defines Fee Simple Title: "Fee Simple is a Contractual Agreement between the present owner and the previous owner, involving neither a third nor other parties. Fee Simple permits an owner to do with his property as he might wish. It is the highest form of land ownership available. Third party interference is prohibited to a property held in Fee Simple Title." The Fee Simple (freehold) Title is a contract with a Government seal, subject only to the conditions therein, meaning that any other charges arising from other acts including Local Government acts etc, that are area or title based, if challenged, can not be enforced as compulsory charges.
Since private property is held in Fee Simple Title, and no third party can become involved, and citizens have never entered into an agreement with Councils for services provided in lieu of annual rate tax payments, then citizens cannot involuntarily incur a debt against their property.

By virtue of the application of the Bill of Rights 1688, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966, the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination 1965, and the British High Court judgement (25 June 2004) that there is no 'Queen of Australia', I, Lyall-Lindsay (Sempf)Ó, on 19th July 2004, declared all land in my possession as the Principality of Range View. (Refer below to land tenure)
Entry to the Principality of Range View is by invitation or Visa only.

Regarding land tenure (tenure = the right to hold property; part of an ancient hierarchical system of holding lands)
Under International, and purported Australian law, the Crown in the right of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland no longer has any jurisdiction within Australia. ........ There is no 'Queen of Australia'.
In 1971 the United Kingdom Parliament passed the 'Immigration and Asylum Act (amended in 1972 and 1973) which deprived Australians of British citizenship thereby making them 'aliens'.
The Crown, in the name of the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland cannot rule over 'alien' Australians.
Since the Crown in the right of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland no longer has any jurisdiction within the territories of Australia, I, Lyall-Lindsay (Sempf)Ó own my land under fee simple title under no tenure to any crown. Radical title in Australia by the Crown does not exist.

Quick & Garran's Commentary - Constitution

Of interest:
A number of people wrongly believe that Australia became a nation in 1901.

It is unfortunate that some 'experts' on law go around spreading this nonsense.
One such person, who is without excuse, is the Chief Justice of the purported High Court of Australia, Mr Anthony Murray Gleeson. (Gleeson was appointed Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia in May 1998. He graduated in Arts and Law from the University of Sydney)
In one of Gleeson's 'Boyer Lecture series' ‘The Rule of Law and the Constitution’ he stated the following:
“The Australian nation came into existence on 1st January 1901 when the Constitution came into legal effect.”
As mentioned further above, Clause 8 of the [63 & 64 VICT] Constitution of Australia [CH 12] Constitution Act reads, “After the passing of this Act the Colonial Boundaries Act, 1895, shall not apply to any colony which becomes a State of the Commonwealth; but the Commonwealth shall be a self-governing colony for the purposes of the Act.”
And Clause 2 of the Act reads:“The provisions of this Act referring to the Queen shall extend to Her Majesty’s heirs and successors in the sovereignty of the United Kingdom”.

Now refer to the book 'The Annotated Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia', by Quick and Garran. See on web at http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/ozlit/pdf/fed0014.pdf
(Quick and Garran were involved in the creation of the Constitution Act. Their book is one which students and practitioners of law know as the 'bible' of constitutional commentary)
"Commonwealth"
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TERM - The term "Commonwealth," to designate the Australian colonies, united in a Federal Constitution, was first proposed by the Constitutional Committee of the Federal Convention held in Sydney in 1891. ........
.... In both Conventions other names were submitted for consideration, such as "United Australia", "Federated Australia", "The Australian Dominion", "The Federated States of Australia", &c., but the Comonwealth was generally accepted, .......
.... In this Act the word is used to describe the new political community created by the union of people and of the colonies of Australia. Although it is capable of conveying the idea of a nation like the American Commonwealth, it does not, in its application to Australia, aspire to convey that meaning except in a restricted and potential sense. At the same time it is distinctly intended to signify that the newly-organised political society, forming a conspicuously integral part of the British empire, is entitled to a more dignified status and recognition in the international arena than that assigned to the most distinguished of the colonies or the most powerful of the provinces out of which it has been construed.

Did you also know that the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA and STATE OF QUEENSLAND
AUSTRALIA are listed as companies with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission? (See below.)
As such they are not de jure (lawful) governments representing the suveran people of Australia.
They are de facto (see definition below) governments, and in reality are political-subdivisions of the
UNITED STATES corporation, which was registered in England as a corporation by (Presidential)
Legislative Act in 1871 - 41st Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, page 419.

Blacks Law Dictionary 4th :-
De Facto. In fact, deed actually this phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of
affairs which must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. In this sense it is the contrary
of de jure, which means rightful, legitimate, just, or constitutional. Thus, an officer, king, or government de facto is
one who actual possession of the office or supreme power, but by usurpation, or without lawful title; while an officer,
king, or governor de jure is one who has just claim and rightful title to the office or power, but has never had plenary
possession of it, or is not in actual possession. 4Bl.comm.. 77,78. Macload v. United States, 229 U.S. 416 33 S.Ct. 955, 57
L.Ed. 1260; Wheatley v. Consolidated Lumber Co., 167 Cal. 441, 139 P. 1057, 1059. So a wife de facto is one whose
marriage is voidable by decree, as distinguished from a wife de jure, or lawful wife. 3 Kent, Comm. 36. But the term is
also frequently used independently of any distinction from a mere paper blockage. 1 Kent, 44. As to de facto
Corporation, court, Domicile, Government, and Officer, see those titles.
