		It follows that, a fortiori, the intent of the Australia Act, given it’s meticulous anfractuosity in avoidance of proper constitutional provisions, is to overthrow, overturn the powers of the executive government of the States as by law established, readily apparent from a reading of it’s provisions, especially Section 7.
		The legislature of Queensland remains subject to the various acts of the Imperial Parliament cited in the preamble to the Constitution Act 1867 in regard to the giving and withholding of Her Majesty’s pleasure and the instructions to be conveyed to Governors, as constating instruments.
		Further the Australia Act has no binding force, for, not being a constating instrument, it is subject to the principle that no parliament can bind its successor, and further still, it bears the hallmarks of a piece of delegated legislation or an ordinance for having by-passed the due process of primary enactment.
