    “Tests based on genetics that lead to different rights”. Again, that sounds alot like the constitutional rights granted to just one family line as head of state. And that genetic line didn’t come from Australia. So which race of humans have primacy in australian law?

      It’s possible to hold both of these beliefs simultaneously:

      • The constitution conferring special rights and privileges on the royal family and their delegates is a bad idea.
      • The constitution conferring special rights and privileges to a subset of people within the country based on race is a bad idea.

        Sure but then we must acknowledge one of those unacceptable things is reality, and the other which could have added some equality and balance was rejected, leaving the constitution favoured to one group of people, as society has been structured.

          Fuck, that’s an awful take. All laws based on race or genetics are always a bad idea.
