Local Councils - Referendum 1988

Question 3 from the referendum was: A Proposed Law; 'To alter the Constitution to recognise local government.' Do you approve of this alteration?

The SPECIFIC (federal Referendum) proposal was:

(3) Constitution Alteration (Local Government) 1988…. 119A, "Each state shall provide for the ESTABLISHMENT AND CONTINUANCE of a system of local government, with local government bodies elected in accordance with the laws of the state, and empowered to administer, and MAKE BY-LAWS FOR, their respective areas IN ACCORDANCE with the laws of the state" (emphasis added).

The 1988 referendum was not carried. It obtained a majority in no State and an overall minority of 3,084,678 votes.

Thus - Local Councils cannot make ANY laws or by-laws without a Referendum.

No other conclusion can be derived from this result other than that Local government was not lawfully recognised by the people of Australia, who are the Government of Australia through their agents the Parliaments.

People are taking on local councils
with unfair laws. How do they do it? Read more...
