Lieutenant Governor request

Lieutenant Governor
Chief Justice Marilyn Warren
210 William Street
Melbourne 3000 15 March 2010

Dear Lieutenant Governor, Marilyn Warren

I write to bring to your attention the following:- , The Pacific Islanders Protection Act 1875 came in to beings, s. 6. Power for Her Majesty to exercise jurisdiction over British subjects in islands of the pacific ocean. to erect a court of justice for British subjects in the islands of the pacific to make ordinances.

"It shall be lawful for Her Majesty to exercise power and jurisdiction over her subjects within any islands and places in the Pacific Ocean not being within Her Majesty's dominions, nor within the jurisdiction of any civilized power, ...to make regulations for the Government of her subjects in such islands and places, and to impose penalties, forfeitures, or imprisonment's for the breach of such regulations"

"It shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by order in council to create a court of justice and civil, criminal and Admiralty jurisdiction over Her Majesty's subjects within islands and places to which the authority of the said High Commissioner shall extend, and with power to take cognizance of all crimes and offences committed by Her Majesty's subjects within any of the said islands and places, or upon the sea, or in any haven, river, creek, or place within jurisdiction of the Admiralty. and Her Majesty..."

Considering that the above Act, which is still valid and adhered to by the Courts of Victoria only relates to Her Majesty Courts jurisdiction over Her Majesty's subjects, and does not include the natives, Aboriginal people of this land. being a civilisation that had it own rule of Lore to guide, direct, protect and control their society at that time.

It is now open to question if the Australian Courts Act 1928 covers the Aboriginal people of Australia, considering the English meaning of Terra Nullus. As the Pacific Islanders Protection Act 1875 "to erect a court of justice for British subjects in the islands of the pacific. to make ordinances" .. "It shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by order in council to create a court of justice and civil, criminal and Admiralty jurisdiction over Her Majesty's subjects"

However the Aboriginal People are not yet British subjects., Therefore the Australian Courts have no Jurisdiction.

I humbly ask, if you could forward the Act or any other document that Her Majesty Courts jurisdiction includes the Aboriginal people of Australia that are not British subjects .

Yours faithfully
Les McDonald
Chief Lore Officer
