The politicians & courts are legally obliged to acknowledge people labelled adopted have always been legally entitled to make our own decisions as adults without needing to return to Australia, or pay money to & have the permission of any court, because the true legal reality is it should always have been admitted, we should have automatically aged out of draconian adoption legislation at adulthood that could not possibly be legally imposed on an adult.
The widespread deeply disrespectful, rude, and offensive attitude of too many politicians and public officials who have so openly discriminated against me as an adopted person in the knowledge they have no legal standing/authority to say I could be treated differently as an adult to them because I am adopted is unconscionable. They could not have and did not genuinely believe it was legally possible to continue to impose draconian adoption legislation on an adult. The draconian adoption legislation discriminates against an adopted person and the peace and harmony of the rule of law. It was clearly never enacted with good intentions because it is at such odds with basic norms like the rule of law and national and international law.
What politicians and public officials including courts did know is their social construct of adoption used on vulnerable children, relied on unlawfully claiming draconian adoption legislation could continue to be imposed on an adult against our will. There is no legal point in politicians and ‘groups’ arguing over who can adopt vulnerable children because it is unlawful to use draconian adoption legislation against anyone.
There is never going to be a convenient time for politicians to acknowledge draconian adoption legislation is unlawful, but people labelled adopted by draconian adoption legislation need all the time we can get, so those who want to can unscramble the unwelcome back to front world of draconian adoption legislation in our lives. The fact there have never been agreed accurate or contemporaneous records kept by courts about adoptions means there can be all sorts of false and fraudulent information recorded by the state using an adoption that needs to be corrected. It is seriously illegal that the State of Victoria fraudulently claimed in government records that I “own property” in Australia that is clearly untrue. (I only recently found out politicians have been illegally circulating the I own “property in Australia” lie behind my back. The real truth is politicians are legally obliged to pay me compensation including for all my accommodation costs in Australia.
The chaos in my own life is draconian adoption legislation that has always stopped me being able to live my life how I choose that includes being able to freely fulfil my own potential, because I have always been unlawfully burdened with the lie that is draconian adoption legislation. My own parents automatically aged out of now defunct legislation used against them that resulted in the government hastily having me adopted, instead of being returned to my parents, while it is claimed I could never automatically age out of adoption as an adult. This also meant the anguish of being raised separately from my little sister who suddenly died four years to the day after I found her. The draconian adoption legislation is punishment without law and a form of collective punishment, because unlike all other family law cases, an adoption case is not based on the particular facts of a case or any legal rationale for adoption because there are simply no circumstances where draconian adoption legislation could be legal. The draconian adoption legislation is a political, rather than legal policy.
It is clearly entirely normal and not at all unreasonable that as an adult I expect to have a free replacement Australian passport in my own identity (the State of Victoria should pay for the replacement costs of all documents) to live in peace in my own home in Breizh, France. It is clearly absolutely unlawful for the politicians to use draconian adoption legislation to try and stop me having a free replacement Australian passport in my own identity to travel and live wherever I choose.
A kinder evolution is possible.
This statement is true.
