Dear Minister, Philip Ruddock

Re: The Act, To Protect The People of Australia

I acknowledge you letter of 13 April 2007, being in response to our letter 5th February 2007, we appreciate the effort you have gone to in explaining the system parliamentary democracy,established by the Australian Constitution, which embodies the principle of responsible Government. We realise the Defence Act 1903 and understand that we would be protected by our National defence in war and terrorism. However it appears that you may have overlooked the main thrust of our previous correspondence.

Due to the growing unrest in our community, concerning, David Hicks and more recently the Bali Nine death sentence, raised the question as to-

1. whose duty, it is to protect the Australian People from harm.
2. the role and duty Australian Federal Police
3. the Act that clearly obligates the Australian Government to protect the People.

Considering the contents of your letter of reply, Which emerges that Australian Government is not committed by legislation or under the Australian Constitution 1901, to Protect the Australian People. Which we feel, with the best interest and welfare of the people of the nation in mind, should be rectified by Parliament with in the very near future.

The Cause and Reason

The Federal Police were notified by concerned parents of the Bali Nine, that their son was getting in to illegal activities, "drugs" Like many parents in Australia, The parents were of the understanding that the Police would apprehend and arrest their son, Unfortunately for their own reasons that Police failed to act in a proper manner.

Many parents claim "That if there son or daughter was caught with or dealings drugs they would put him in to the police, and if he goes to jail so be it, teach him lesson or two" Considering, that some members of the Bali Nine have now been sentence to death, leaves open to question the role that the Federal Police played, and why the Australian Government is not obligated by legislation to protect it people... Something is wrong?

We trust that you will recommend to Parliament that the Laws need to be reviewed, as to remove any doubt whatsoever over the Government ability to act as a good and responsible Government for all the people of Australia. Notice of your intention would also be appreciated
