On 1st July 2004, Lyall Sempf seceded from the Commonwealth of Australia

If a government contravenes the fundamental rights of its citizens, it abdicates government. The citizens are then absolved of their allegiance to that government.

This has happened to all Australian governments by virtue of the application of the Bill of Rights, 1688.
The Bill of Rights cannot be dispensed with by a parliament (refer Statute of Monopolies, 1623), nor by the executive (refer Petition of Rights, 1628), nor by the judiciary (refer Habeous Corpus Act, 1640).
Section 118 of the purported Australian Constitution reads: Full faith and credit shall be given, throughout the Commonwealth to the laws, the public Acts and records, and the judicial proceedings of every State.

The citizens have the right to secede and come out from under the usurped jurisdiction of the abdicated government, by virtue of Article 1.1 of the Internationl Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 1966, which is the law of Australia by virtue of the application of Sections 3 and 6 of the purported Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act, 1986.

Once seceded, citizens have the right to form a new nation, or join a new nation, by the virtue of the application of Article 5 (d) (iii) of the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination, 1965, which is the law of Australia by virtue of the application of Section 3, 6 and 7 of the purported Racial Discrimination Act, 1975.

However, as documents used to appoint Australia’s purported Governor General have been illegally issued, (refer web page << Invalid Governors-General ), this means that the purported Governor General has held no valid executive legal power whatsoever, to swear in elected members of parliament, members of the judiciary, or to appoint any Commissioners.
A citizen has every right to form a new nation, or join a new nation.

Lyall Sempf has seceded from the invalid Commonwealth of Australia.
