1961 Yale University USA psychology professor Stanley Milgram is undoubtedly the best friend of every reasonable “free thinking” person on this planet today and for all time. He and his colleagues proved irrefutably that the vast majority of humans are “followers” or “team players” or “narcissistic psychopaths” who simply can't be trusted to be humane. I'm proud to say I'm a free thinker. This website proves that being a reasonable free thinker in our time has illegally been deemed “politically illegal”. see 1962 Full Documentary at https://youtu.be/rdrKCilEhC0 -44 min.

Government's
ICCPR Double Entendre
International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights
A) Found on Australian Parliament House webpage headed 'International Human Rights Law'.
QUOTE: "Despite signing the ICCPR in 1972 and ratifying it in 1980, Australia has never adopted it into domestic law."
COMMENT:
if its not been adopted into domestic law then why its content in part noted and referenced as offences in Australia's federal Criminal Code, being Australia's federal criminal law?
Answer is that this claim by parliament public officers is both false and misleading. The entire COVENANT was not absorbed by law "as is" but many articles were if they weren't already part of Australian law.
The only exception was the reference to religion.
B) Found on Australian federal government webpage and being official copy of Australian federal 'domestic law' titled 'Criminal Code Act 1995'
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2020C00245
B PART I
QUOTE: "Criminal Code Act 1995 Section 3 The Criminal Code,
(1) The Schedule has effect as a law of the Commonwealth.
(2) The Schedule may be cited as the Criminal Code."
B PART II
'Criminal Code Act 1995' in section titled "Dictionary."
QUOTE: "Covenant means the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, a copy of the English text of which is set out in Schedule 2 to the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986."
My Layperson's Research.
There is a very distinct difference between legal “advice” its legal “information” often a government public officer will refuse to give you legal “information” and justify their refusal by calling it legal “advice”. You have a natural right to legal information from your government, and the right to have it explained until YOU understand.
From my first hand experience after State police illegally assaulted and arrested then assaulted me again, is that the government (Parliament Executive and Judiciary) use the ICCPR DOUBLE ENTENRE with premeditated indent to criminally rob you of your legal rights, on political grounds. Under federal law if you're seriously harmed or intimidate by their “political cause” actions, that's an act of terrorism. Only don't expect their political party's polices and political party's department of public prosecutions to prosecute their own boss, the government.
Here's what it looks like:
Say you have a case of politically motivated human rights breach perpetrated by government public officers (State or Federal) that's not covered by our inadequate anti-discrimination laws, the toothless Australian Human Rights Commission/er (State and Federal) will legally refuse to accept it for investigation. Instead you must pursue it in Federal Court. Why?
Because its only a crime to politically discriminate in federal criminal law. That discrimination is titled “terrorist act”.
If the matter involved a consumer transaction (State or Federal) for "goods or services" you can pursue it under the federal Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA). Some transactions where there was no payment are still deemed a consumer transaction. Before the CCA the federal Trade Practices Act 1974 had many of the same consumer protections. A business buying for resale reselling is not a consumer under CCA.
An example of non (payment) gratuity goods or services might be:
Any medical service paid in full by Medicare, and goods obtained as a result of a medical service which probably includes those free samples doctors give out.
Matters linked to your driving licence not the licence payment itself but any Fitness to Drive request made by State and subsequent decisions after you've obtained your licence may be a fee free “service”.
An application for court services where there is generally a payment for a service defined as 'access to justice' or 'due process of law'.
If the matter involves a crime perpetrated by a (State or Federal) government public officer or any other person, then you are entitled to pursue a federal court criminal prosecution. Additionally, refusal by police to prosecute a crime is almost always a political decision.
Any political based decision of any government public officer (State or Federal) not supported by Australian law or is in direct breach of Australian law is unconstitutional; as the Australian Constitution gives no allowances for any government to act based on their political platform; and no allowance to act contrary to Australian law for any political party or personal career purpose. If it did we'd openly have acts of terrorism aimed to protect the "good of the Party" as they have in Communist China.
Such decisions may additionally be described as indirect bias or direct bias (research it yourself).
