Dear Customer Service,
Hello Mike, thank you for your reply.
I am of the understanding that there is only one lawful Constitution that Australian Courts can operate under which is:
a. The Constitution of the Australian Commonwealth as contained in Covering Clause 9 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) as a Chap III Court.
Can you confirm if the ''Australian Constitution'' of which the Federal Circuit Court operates under, is the same Constitution that sits within Covering Clause 9 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK)?
If the Australian Constitution is a different Constitution to the Constitution of the Australian Commonwealth which sits under Covering Clause 9, can you provide a copy of the following:
a. the instrument that might have authorised the creation of the Australian Constitution ; and
b. a document detailing the date a Referendum was conducted that might have authorised the introduction of a second Constitution called ''The Australian Constitution'' of which the Federal Circuit Court Justices are appointed under?''
Yours sincerely,
Brett Wilson

Hello Mike, it seems you have not answered my question or your answer has been misinterpreted.
Can you confirm if the ''Australian Constitution'' of which the Federal Circuit Court operates under, is the same Constitution that sits within Covering Clause 9 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK)?
Does your Federal circuit court operate under either:

Can you please confirm which one Constitution your court operates under?

Dear Customer Service Mike,
Hi Mike. The ''Australian Constitution'' is not the same as the ''Constitution of the Australian Commonwealth'' or sometimes referred to as ''The Commonwealth Constitution''. The Australian Constitution has a different naming convention as it has dropped the important definition being the ''Commonwealth'' which = we the people.
So does your Federal Circuit Court operate under the Constitution that sits within Covering Clause 9 of The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK). YES or No? All I require is an answer of YES or NO to this relevant question?
Kind regards
Brett
Yours sincerely,
Brett Wilson
UNCLASSIFIED
Dear Mr Wilson
I apologise if my response was not clear. The answer is yes, the Federal
Circuit Court, and all Australian federal courts, operate under the
Constitution that was enacted in Clause 9 of The Commonwealth of Australia
Constitution Act 1900. While the Constitution is also frequently cited as
the Australian Constitution, the Commonwealth Constitution or simply the
Constitution – the enacting legislation’s full citation is the
Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp).
