Dear Queensland Department of Premier and Cabinet,

My FOI & RTI request for the results of the Referendums held in Queensland

1) Qld Referendum results of consent by Her Majesty British Subjects of the Colony of Queensland, to become a Federation prior to commencement Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act UK 1900.
Again, Queen Victoria was informed the people had agreed (UNLAWFUL WITHOUT REFERENDUM) to unite into a Federation, was not factually correct. Western Australia wasn't included Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act UK 1900, Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 at commencement.

2) Evidence of a Qld Referendum results between 1984-1986 whereas, total yes votes defeated no votes, giving consent by the people to severe ties.
Former Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke, statement to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II "The people had agreed"

3) Evidence from the Constitution of Queensland 1867, and Referendum, that Lawfully & Constitutionally gave Authority for Peter Beattie, to grant himself Commonwealth powers. Whereas High Court of Australia court records in Brisbane 2000, it was explained to His Honour, the Officer of Governor of Queensland RECONSTITUTED UNDER THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM 1986, remains in force.

3) FOI & RTN - the Crowns documents, matters giving lawful consent, Assent, Royal Assent, Letters Patents for the Governor to replace Great Seal of the United Kingdom with a corporate Public Seal of the Office of Governor for use 2000/2001 - present (Gold - Emu & Kangaroo). Stark contrast to the High Court of Australia cases factual evidence, Great Seal of the UK, on the public record.

Yours faithfully,

Dean Miles
