What ACT are attempting to do is to establish principles of the constitution. But a bill and select committee through the house is not the appropriate process for this. However, once we understand that, then we would have to say that the 1975 ToW Act and the 1987 Lands case that supposedly established 'principles of the Treaty' were also inappropriate processes for establishing the constitution of the country.....???
I think that a select committee process that is rigorous and open followed by a debate in the house and a referendum is actually a very good way to define constitutional principles.
