IN SUMMARY

LOBBYCO.org and my twitter blog at @lobbycoorg were created as part of my art practice to encourage fundamental legal human rights principles into fruition via lobbying for new effective and caring 'direct' Australian laws.

Currently i have an appeal before the Supreme Court of South Australia of national importance regarding my CEDAW human rights to equality to in "all forms" to men, which as The CEDAW Treaty has been incorporated in Australian Law for over 40 years since 1984, i therefore before the law should be lawfully entitled as much as my brothers to 1 & 2 following...

#HERITAGEandEQUITY4ALL is important hashtag i have created to raise awareness about every child's right and woman's right to:

1. Not lose their/her connection to priceless family homes and their ancestral collection if homes are being kept and not sold for all children's financial benefit, and -

2. Not lose their/her reconciled net independent equal and non coercible financial equity rights also.

This is based on Australian Law:

(a) Australia ratified the important United Nation's international women's human rights treaty called CEDAW: the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (#CEDAWtreaty) on 28 July 1983.

(b) The CEDAW Treaty in its entirety was incorporated into Australian Law more than 40 years ago as the only Schedule in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (SDA84) when passed by both national houses of parliament on 1 August 1984.

(c) Based on the Interpretations Act (1901-present) Part 5, Sections 12, 13 & 15AA it can be lawfully concluded that The CEDAW Treaty as the only Schedule in the SDA84 is as "substantive" as any other part of the SDA84, and as CEDAW is Section 4 of the Act, to quote Section 12 "Every section of an Act shall have effect as a substantive enactment without introductiory words." And Section 13 "All material from and including the first section of an Act to the end of ... the last Schedule to the Act; is part of the Act".

(d) Since 1984 under Australian Law CEDAW lawfully means all Australian women are equal to men in "ALL FORMS" under Australian law both publicly and privately in all matters and therefore must not be discriminated against in any way, and all "State Parties" (meaning all national, state and territory governements) each have had the duty for the last 40 years to lawfully protect and enforce all Australian women's (including mine) equallity to men in everywhere and in every way; to quote directly for a start from a few Articles and clauses, from The CEDAW Treaty (Articles 1-30):

(d1) Article 2: State Parties condemn discrimination against women in all its forms, agree to pursue by all appropriate means and without deleay a policy of eliminating discrimination against women and, to this end, undertake:

(d2) Article 2(e) State Parties: "To take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women by any person, organisation or enterprise";

(d3) Article 2(a) State Parties: "To embody the principle of the equality of men and women in their national constitutions or other appropriate legislation if not yet incorporated therein and to ensure, through law and other appropriate means, the practical realisation of this principle;
- all of Article 2's 7 clauses (a) thru (f) are relevant to this anti-discrimination case and appeal, plus specifically Articles 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24 -

(d4) Article 24, "State Parties undertake to adopt all necessary measures at the national level aimed at achieving the full realisation of the rights recognised in the present Convention."
