Yeah, the success rate on referendums is something like 6 out of 42. Australian's don't like to change anything! :D

Gee, that link is like first year law!

I think all Skyline owners, and anyone who's into cars and cruising around, should get some basic legal knowledge, so you know what cops can and can't do. They abuse their powers so often it's not funny...

But yeah, I am a lawyer. B)

OK, will do. I did a course on police power a couple years ago, should (hopefully) have it all lying around somewhere...

As for our rights and freedoms under the Australian Constitution, things like freedom of speech and privacy are not specifically outlined or recognized, but are implied by the courts. It kind of gets hairy from here, but you have to understand that if these things were outlined in bold in the Constitution, there wouldn't be much room for argument.

The reality is, the Constitution would not have any force if it was not a document of democracy and due government. As such, it draws its strength from these energies, and uses these underlying notions to remain in force.

An example of this is section 51 of the Constitution (the one that lets Parliament make law). It states that:

The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth...

The bit about 'peace, order and good government' is not defined in the Act, but refers to these notions that found our Country and its legal justice system.

Hope it helps...

So what you're saying is that your original assertion about our right to privacy being protected "by the Constitution" is actually wrong; this "right" to privacy is actually provided under common law instead.

They say lawyers are always precise with their choice of words, since interpretations and thus judgements can hinge on how something is phrased. Hence why reading contracts tend to do the average person's head in, since its worded in such a way that brooks no misinterpretation.

The link to the actual Australian Constitution is first year law, as you said, yet here you are, throwing two disparate concepts around as if they were interchangable.

Here we go...

Common law is different again - it's more of a leftover from English law and something that acts as a backup where established law (e.g. Australian) doesn't seem to cut it.

Bear in mind, I didn't want to write up an essay on Skylines forums about the law and how it works - best to state things in a way most people can understand.

And as for your statement that I'm throwing two disparate concepts around, I'm actually juggling about a million different legal concepts and notions of justice, but that's why a law degree takes 6-odd years.

However, you are right on the point that personal liberties (such as that to privacy) reside under common law, as they are not expressly outlined in the Constitution document itself. However, without the construction of the Constitution, there would be no activation of common law in this country.

The design of the Constitution necessitated a reference to English law, as we were unable to cover everything in our own legal documents. This feature of our Constitution is evident in its design, as it relies on such operation to be effective.

Lawyers are always precise in their choice of words, but (as anyone and everyone on this site can appreciate) do not want to bore an un-interested audience with long-winded legal concepts - this is a SKYLINES forum, after all!

My point was to say that our right to privacy, as any of our fundamental rights, are basic liberties, all guarded by notions of democracy and freedom, and that these concepts are those which gave rise to the constitution of our country, and that as such, these concepts are protected therein. That said, if your battle is with regards to express wording in the Constitution, you win.

...and if the law was that easy, we'd all be lawyers... :rofl:

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well

      Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well.

      Need help/advice with bearing taper clearance, eccentricity and arp studs.

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard

      Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
