Do our governments and their agencies want you dead so they can import non-white migrants to do the “chores”? Then they can become a Republic, own all the land and resources, worship Satan in public, conduct SRA, become millionaires off mining royalties and property sales and join forces with China to corner the Rare Earth Elements world market. The secret societies run Australia. You have to be “lodged” to gain any influential position in the Corporate Governments or their Service Providers (including Police and Military Forces). The freemasons, fabians, knights of malta, jesuits and other “secret” societies are converting Australia to communism.

‘Republicanism by stealth’: Australia’s Great Seal redesign ditches reference to monarch.

Australia’s formal symbol of sovereignty, its Great Seal, has been redesigned without a reference to the monarch, breaking with more than 120 years of tradition and triggering criticisms of “republicanism by stealth”.

The new version of the Great Seal of Australia – a ceremonial stamp authorised by the monarch and used on key documents exercising royal powers in Australia – was authorised via royal warrants signed by the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and King Charles III during his visit to Canberra’s Government House in October 2024.

This new Seal replaced a design that featured the words “Elizabeth the Second Queen of Australia” encircling Australia’s coat of arms, first authorised for use by royal warrant in 1973. That version was overseen by the Whitlam government, which pushed to drop historic references to Britain in the modernised design. The seal had previously been relatively unchanged since its introduction by Queen Victoria in 1900 and use from federation the following year.

Anne Twomey, constitutional lawyer and professor emerita at the University of Sydney, said the change “seems to be consistent” with the Crown References Amendment Bill 2023 – passed by the lower house in November and currently in the Senate – which replaces references to the queen with “SOVEREIGN”.

“However, they haven’t put the term ‘sovereign’ on it, either. They put nothing in relation to the monarch, which is surprising, given that this is actually, from a legal point of view, a symbol of royal authority.

“It’s a bit peculiar. It is one step further than what they’re doing in the legislation.”

The Liberal National party senator James McGrath, the shadow assistant minister to the leader of the opposition, criticized what he called the “secrecy” of the design change.

McGrath said: “The Albanese Labor government like to hide from the public.

“Albanese’s removal of any reference to the monarch is republicanism by stealth.”

Does this invalidate our 1901 Constitution? Is that why the PM talks about a “constitutional Convention”??
