Hullo,
Matters provided in the Australian Constitution such as appeals to Privy Council require majority of all electors with majority in States for altering the Constitution. s128. Removing the highest appellate judicial body is surely more than a "matter provided" in s 51 xxxvi as the body becomes then un-provided, non-existent. Removing the Senate House by MPs vote alone is, for example, going beyond a matter provided.
The protection of s 128 allows Acts to limit but not impair the Queen in Council s 74. So the Australia Acts 1986 may be void ab initio. Thus s 74 stands today in the Constitution as it has not been legally deleted.
If one part of the democratic system can be crudely cut away, is Duterte in the Philippines so wrong to have kill-squads?
