equal rights administration

next Saturday

Enough people support equal rights between women and men a referendum on a republic governed by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees would succeed next Saturday.

guarantee

The only guarantee a Constitution which provides by original intent for governance conducted by men's legislatures only which admit women under supervision inclusive of leadership can give that women will enjoy equal rights with men, is that it won't happen.

customary, common and statute law

First Australian customary law recognises a women's jurisdiction and a men's jurisdiction. 'The men never used to boss over the women, the women were their own bosses'. Common and Statute law recognises a men's jurisdiction only. All women in all fifteen legislatures which govern Australia can be removed, including the Prime Minister, two state Premiers and all first Australian women as with Linda Burney, Marion Scrymgour and Carol Martin, simply with majorities suspending or rescinding legislation which granted women franchise in the first place. All women, including all first Australian women, would also be prohibited the vote under the terms of Australia's shameful Constitution and its state counterparts. Men can't be removed in the same way, or in any other way, since legislation which enabled all fifteen legislatures assumes male privilege. First Australians could do all Australians a favour by asserting tradition rather than bedding down with the whitefella's blatantly sexist rule of law. The remedy is reform of the Constitution to provide for governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees. Anything less is codswallop.

medal

Men deserve a medal and everlasting world peace and sustainable prosperity for skills in modern governance women achieve.

It's not rocket science it can't be done alone.

life experience

Women and men undergo different life experience.

Genuine leadership recognises difference, leadership in denial of difference obstructs.

rule of law

The politicians who occupy Australia's federal and state legislatures can remove all women members including the current Prime Minister and two state Premiers and prohibit all women the vote by rescinding legislation which granted women franchise. Men can't be removed or prohibited the vote in the same way, or in all probability with regard to original intent, in any other way.

The rule of law in Australia is very specific, men are privileged to govern by public consent and women are second-class citizens.

re-balance

Men support the empowerment of women because an imbalance of male power brought life on Earth to the brink and it's perfectly obvious the imbalance is self-correcting.

A referendum on governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees re-balances power, a certainty with hardly anyone left who doesn't support equal rights between women and men.

discuss this item

equal

Equal means women have the same right to legislatures, a jurisdiction at law and corporate committees men granted themselves.

genius

Male genius has transformed the governance of family groups to that of the entire world, but there's unfinished business.

A women's legislature is a vote next Saturday away.

environment

An imbalance of male power has caused irreparable harm to the environment.

The remedy is governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees.

nurture

If nurture is the only difference between women and men there would never have been reason to exclude women from governance.

Men's genes did, best remedied with governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees.

unconditional

Equal rights contingent upon allegience to ideology is fake, equality with women is unconditional.

reform agenda

"The recognition of Aborigines in the Constitution is a fundamental step, but it must be linked to a reform agenda that is understood by the Australian public and that has the support of Aborigines." Galarrwuy Yunupingu

Recognition through governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees matches the criteria.

acknowledge

If women are the same as men to the extent the two are interchangeable there would never have been a need to include women in parliament.

Acknowledgement of difference culminates with governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees.

two nil

The most telling statistic on equality between women and men, the statistic which goes to the source of power, is that by the doctrine of original intent, Australia's Constitution provides the nation with two men's legislatures, a Senate and a House of Representatives, to which inclusive of leadership women are admitted under male supervision, and no women's legislatures. No further proof is required than the knowledge that a majority of the parliament can rescind, with corresponding state legislation, The Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 with the effect of removing all women members including a woman Prime Minister and preventing most women from voting on grounds of their gender, such is the blatant and irreconcilably sexist nature of Australia's primary instrument of governance. All state legislatures are also men's legislatures. There are no women's legislatures anywhere in the nation, not even a women's caucus which a majority of modern democracies convene to advise their parliaments. Men rule, that's the law, and the consequence in terms of personal safety, opportunity and equity is pervasive. Australia urgently needs to become a republic governed by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees to achieve equality between women and men as well as between demographics comprised of women and men.

inclusion

Australia's Federal and State constitutions will need to be amended to recognise a women's jurisdiction as first Australians have always done if they are also to be amended to acknowledge first Australian women as well as the men.

Men's legislatures and leadership to which women are admitted under supervision as these constitutions currently require, is just plain sexist.

moved on

Australia has moved on from male privilege with a Julia Gillard victory by popular vote.

Next up is a referendum to recognise a women's jurisdiction.

 

critical mass

In the global transition from patriarchy to equal rights some forty women have held high political office over the past half century while a third of seats occupied by women in a legislature is considered critical mass.

Governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees completes the transition.

fair go

A male culture stonewalled government, collapsed the global economy, prosecutes war globally, obstructs women from senior management and is polluting the environment irrecoverably.

Men led the fight for freedom but don't practice what they preach.

Fair go means a fair go for women also.

fair inclusion

The United States has passed a law requiring fair inclusion of women in the finance industry as Australians go to an election with a choice.

The incumbent introduced fair inclusion in party representation years ago which has produced the nation's first woman Prime Minister now seeking confirmation by public vote, the challenger has no policy on fair inclusion.

Is 2010 a fair inclusion election or will male privilege prevail?

men did it

In the boardroom of the corporation responsible for the oil catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico the Chairman and Chief Executive are men, the four Executive Directors are men, six of the eight non-executive Directors are men and eight of the nine members of the Executive Management Team are men.

If BP or any other corporation wants to do business in Australia or anywhere else the boardroom should be comprised of equal numbers of women and men appointed by stockholder majorities of women and men.

The world is fed up with having to clean up the mess men who need to control women create.

uranium

The High Court of Australia conceded first peoples native title providing sufficient attachment survives after Torres Strait Island man Eddie Mabo took the government to court and won.

Only the men's jurisdiction conceded ownership because there's no women's legislature with Australia's constitution.

Australia's first peoples are just as concerned about what's done with their uranium as everybody else and should be able to negotiate in the women's jurisdiction as well as the men's as they've always done.

prism

Every economic system distorts through the prism of male privilege, whether it be capitalism in the USA, socialism in Stalinist Russia or communism in Kampuchea.

The optimum economic system is the one to which women's and men's corporate committees agree.

a visitor

A visitor to the parliament of an equal rights republic takes a seat in the public gallery of the women's legislature to bear witness to democracy.

The legislature is debating a proposal from a cabinet of equal numbers of women and men which with a majority with the men's legislature becomes law.

peace on Earth

Australia has welcomed the establishment of the new United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, to be known as 'UN Women'.

Global governance conducted by agreement between UN Women and the already assembled UN Men will bring sustainable prosperity and everlasting world peace.

recognition

The Hindmarsh Island controversy proved the Commonwealth of Australia could not distinguish a women's jurisdiction when the High Court recognised a men's jurisdiction with the Mabo decision granting native title.

A republic governed by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees recognises a women's jurisdiction.

 

ingenuous

Men discriminate against women because women are different then claim because women can do what men do women are the same.

A republic governed by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees is genuine same.

integrity

A majority of the parliament can rescind, with corresponding state legislation, the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 with the effect of removing all women members including a woman Prime Minister.

A Prime Minister should have greater security of tenure than removal by reason of her gender.

The solution is governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees with conjoint male and female Prime Ministers.

well-being

The intervention most urgently required to safeguard Australia's first peoples is with government to recognise a women's jurisdiction.

Government conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees secures the future for all Australians.

ready

The men who established Australia's legislatures never intended they would be anything other than men's legislatures to which women are admitted under male supervision.

Women would have to wait until they gained sufficient experience before they could have legislatures of their own.

Sufficient is the present.

catch up

Apart from power and pay all Australian women have the opportunity to experience equality with men the women of the nation's first peoples command in tradition.

All that remains is to reform the instruments of governance to include women's legislatures, courts and corporate committees.

excellence

The collective genius men once delivered is dissolving in competition for female attention.

Parliaments stall and corporations struggle while militant groups hold the world to ransom.

Equal rights governance recovers male sensibilities in men's legislatures and committees prior to negotiation with women in cabinets and on boards of directors.

Both women and men perform at a premium when ideas are workshopped independently before conferencing together.

 

now

Enough people in Australia support equality between women and men to achieve the declaration of a Republic of Australia with the consent of a referendum conducted this weekend.

An equal rights republic governed by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and corporate committees is the only genuine basis from which a treaty with Australia's First Peoples can proceed.

 

closing the gap

Closing the gap with Australia's first peoples is about updating governance.

The magic bullet is women's rights from which all else proceeds while readiness and attendance is achieved with parliament and corporate management conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures and committees.

'Men never used to boss over the women, the women are their own bosses.'

customary law

Australia's first peoples celebrate a tradition of secret and non-secret women's and men's business in which women exclude men from some ceremonies as do the men with women.

Secrecy preserves the integrity of law and mixed ceremony maintains harmony while penalties may be harsh in marginal ecologies to safeguard survival.

Confidentiality remains with penalties less severe when tradition is practiced in the contemporary context of parliament and corporate governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, courts and committees.

posturing

With increasing numbers of women in parliament men have become emboldened to oppose with macho displays of willful obstruction.

Stonewalling would cease if women had their own legislature.

the real deal

A majority of the world’s democracies have a women's caucus to offer advice.

A parliament enacting law by agreement between women's and men's legislatures converts advice to authority.

quotas

A quota of women improves parliament and corporate management.

Governance conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures and committees achieves equity.

all aboard

When men gave women the vote in 1902 and allowed women to enter Australia's parliament the inclusion of women was considered an improvement.

The trial worked, governance has improved, its come time to consolidate with a legislature.

a better place

If men spent less time explaining to women how women should behave and more time concerned with their own behaviour the world would be a better place.

A parliament enacting law by agreement between a women's legislature and a men's legislature focuses men's minds on mutual benefit.

fair dinkum democracy

Australian men insult women by claiming expertise over women's life experience and by requiring women to claim expertise over men's life experience as a condition of admission to parliament.

Democracy would be better served if insult was replaced with a women's legislature.

easy peasy

If, as a comments contributor claims, "Traumatised refugees who have lost their land, culture and extended relationships and who have no choice but to move into a new culture with which they have little or no acquaintance and no language ability have been able to make a fresh start, come to terms with the new reality, become successful and make a contribution to the host society within a matter of a generation or so", why has the Crown had so much trouble assimilating with Aborigines?

A parliament enacting law by agreement between women's and men's committees can't be all that difficult to achieve.

 

power

Australia's Constitution gives a majority of men in Parliament the power, with corresponding state legislation, to ban women from voting and replace all women members with men.

Without a women's legislature all power in Australia is ultimately exercised by men.

short circuit

Commonwealth assistance to Aborigines short circuits because Australia's Constitution doesn't recognise a women's jurisdiction, sidelining the entire middle management of women's and men's committees.

A Constitution with provision for a women's legislature would reconcile assistance to all Australians.

nature

A balance of power between women and men achieves a balance of power with nature.

A parliament enacting law by agreement between a women's legislature and a men's legislature achieves a balanced response with climate change.

 

the boardroom

The inclusion of women in the boardroom raises the status of all women in the workforce just as the inclusion of women in parliament raises the status of all women in the nation.

The true measure of equality is autonomy, enabled with law enacted by agreement between a women's legislature and a men's legislature governing boardroom decisions achieved by agreement between a women's committee and a men's committee.

The most disenfranchised women will no longer endure the indignity of men having the final say in their supervision.

opposition obsolete

The Parliament of Australia is entering a new decade with a Shadow Cabinet comprised of twenty men and two women, an absurd disproportion in the wake of the male generated global economic collapse.

Australia's first Parliament didn't legislate to admit women to have a Shadow Cabinet sideline women a century later.
