COAG – Council of Australian Government
In May 1992, COAG was established to debate and co-ordinate government activities between the Federal, state and local governments.
It is the peak intergovernmental forum in Australia.
COAG is the "modern" restoration of the 1855 Federal Council of Australasia, wherein the independent colonies had a trade agreement.
Members are not voted in by the people.
They are the Prime Minister, the Premiers of each state and territory and the President of the Australian Local Government Association.
Some activities have included a review of Government Services.
Reform packages for early childhood
Nation building and jobs partnerships
Intergovernmental agreements on Federal Financial Relations
Bushfire inquiry
Economic Implications of an ageing Australia
National Water Initiative
Foot and Mouth Disease
Corporations & Government
Subsequently all states who have turned corporate in their own right, are outside the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) and inside the Australia Act and can reprint all acts back to statutory legislation.
This allows the Australia Act to be the definitive constitution for a republic in all but name.
According to Law Alert, during the last week – 1 week only, the following 76 act & bills were brought in to be discussed, amended and passed
ACT: 8 including Rates & Land Taxes
Cth: 30 including Water Appropriation & Federal Magistrate Courts Amendments
NSW: 3 including Criminal Assets Recovery
QLD: 2 including Constitution Preamble Amendment
SA: 7 including Constitution Appointments
TAS: 5 including Police Offences Amendment
VIC: 13 including Local govt Act, Planning Legislation, water Amendment
WA: 8 including Mining, Environment, Crown Land & Planning Amendments
All together for 2009, the Federal and State Parliaments have passed or amended 2,313 new Bills, Acts and Regulations.
All are statutory laws of the new corporations protected by the Queen of Australia, sealed to the Great Seal of Australia and/the State Seals & inside the Australia Act 1986.

State Governments of Australia in 2009
The Constitution refers to a State. That being “a State” of the Commonwealth of Australia (Chapter 5).
The reference to “the State” is to the State of the Commonwealth of Australia and its external territories.
To clarify the term “the State” and its effect within today’s laws. The best way to explain this is take the meaning of “the State” from the South Australian Acts Interpretation Act 1919 (SA) at s4A, where it says this about the State:
Acts Interpretation Act 1915 (SA)
Section 4A headed, Date of establishment of the State “For the purposes of the law of the State, the State will be taken to have been established on the twenty-eighth day of December, 1836.”
Therefore, in each government, The State is the entity created at its inception as a colony, prior to the Federation when that state became A State. The State being an independent entity, A State being a confederated entity.
In other words, the Constitutional states are still in existence, the govts of those states have simply returned to operating under their original colonial constitutions.
Have we returned to being prisoners under military rule then?
Now as a consequence of holding (keeping) Chapter 2 and the reading down (ignoring) of Chapters 1 and 3 specifically, the Executive Government of the Commonwealth and the Executive Governments of “the States” are exercising extraordinary powers through the process known as COAG which is based on a process of Statutory agreements alienated (separate) from the Constitution.
What is now created? –

What is now created? –
- An independent jurisdiction without limit, or restriction,
- that was in existence before Federation (Colonies)
- with the exception, that British Law no longer applies by virtue of the Australia Act.
- Therefore; there is no applicable jurisprudence obtainable from within Chapters 1 or 3 of the Constitution.
- The jurisprudence is now held solely within the Statutory Instrument (govt legislation) and again is alienated from the Constitution.
So, the Crown now resides in the “hands” of the Governor, who is under the advisement of the Federal Executive.
The Executive has assumed the role of Governor, therefore the Crown now resides in the hands of the Executive.
Therefore all state legislation made by the
executive=governor=crown is binding.
