Now old mate - I've spent an hour or so writing this. So please come at it with an open mind.
Hey, so I did post on youtube that I saw about your missus passing away. Must be tough... Sorry to hear. Mostly I post on the family law forum with a bit of an emphasis on helping blokes fight the family law system. Respectfully, parking fines and local council is nothing in comparison to fighting to see your kids in the family law courts.
Nope not a troll either - Mate I just disagree with you and I'm gonna have another go at trying to explain why you are wrong... So lets start.
You had a go at me for assuming you have a tow ball.

"old mate going to hit my towball, oh under your Assumption that i even have one in my story is hilarious. "
You do have a tow ball.
Google Maps
I did my research. It has a tow bar. Still hilarious?
And I reckon it is illegally parked. You disagree. I'll get back to this later.
ok so some thinking for you. BTW I'm not a fan of local councils - I found a youtube clip of a guy getting fined for riding a bicycle on a beach in Stirling? wow. Can't ride a bike? what harm is that causing anyone... Anyways - why do you think they gave up on the defamation threat? I'm gonna hazard a guess or two and let you be assured Dan is well upset about this too. See the defamation laws in AU are pretty weak. Council would have to spend thousands of $$$ taking this to court. (I do think you'd almost agree with me that you owe Dan an apology - you came pretty close to saying the same in the second video). So council take you to court over this wasting all that $$$. Rate payer's money. Not their money. It is a bad look. Even if they win they lose. So they made the call not to pursue it. Dan of course can pursue it himself at his own expense. So Dan has been screwed over here too.

"BUT BEFORE I could do THAT I wanted more information. Like times and dates when all the rangers have come out and spoke to me regarding my truck parked the way it was.
And would you believe they refused to give that to me?"
Of course they refused. Why should they provide you with information they've already given you? The dates are on the tickets. The other visits, where someone came out to explain. They don't wanna go tracing back through all their records. To help you? Maybe (I doubt it) but maybe they'd do it for someone else as a favour. BUT not for you. Not after what you've posted on youtube. And they don't have to.
"So I pretty much said, if you won't respond to my request, I won't either."
Here is my problem with this one. They have the legal authority according to law to give you a due date with which to pay the fine / seek an appeal. You don't have the legal authority to demand they give you dates.
They have the legal authority to issue the fines. God bless this country, you had an opportunity to appeal. God BLESS THIS COUNTRY.
YOU could have had your day in court.
YOU could have walked into a court shown the judge the photo of the car - like the one on the google map that I linked. That also shows the wall in-front of the house and the tow ball hanging onto the road. The judge could have made a call and YOU would have had your day in court. BUT YOU chose not to. HELL YOU could have gone to court and asked for an adjournment and an order from the judge for council to supply the dates. Maybe the judge would have granted it... Maybe not. But YOU didn't try.
So let's move on to the legal authority argument.

MY 1901 COMMONWEATH CONSTITUTION "
So let's look at the 1901 constitution. The Constitution which came into effect in 1901 contained two provisions explicitly relating to Aborigines. First, s. 51(xxvi), the 'race power', gave the Commonwealth Parliament power to make laws with respect to 'the people of any race, other than the aboriginal race in any State, for whom it was deemed necessary to make special laws'.
So the 1901 constitution gave the states the right to make their own decisions about indigenous Australians. It gave the federal govt the right to make laws about other races. One of the very first pieces of legislation the Federal govt passed was the White Australia Act of 1901. That law got revoked – hence we now have people from every country on the planet living on our island. Effectively the federal govt considered indigenous Australians as nothing to do with them. That got changed in the 1967 referendum.
So the 1901 version has been updated via a referendum. So that is how the constitution has been changed.
But section 51 of the constitution outlines the responsibilities of the federal govt and the states. It hasn't been changed.. Let me summarise a few bits:
Federal law over-rides state law / local council law… There isn’t a federal law in relation to how you park your car.
The states can make their own laws, so long as they don’t conflict with the laws of the federal gov.
The state govt according to section 51 are within their rights to pass laws. Each state has passed a law called the local govt act. An act of state parliament the devolves some of their responsibilities to local councils. So according to section 51 of the constitution the states can pass laws. They passed a law giving authority for some stuff to local councils. Local councils make rules about stuff like bin night, parking etc etc. All good. All inline with the constitution.
Your questions on notice - Question details
Why didn’t the original constitution mention local councils? With a population of less than 4 million 2 tiers of govt seemed enough. As the population grew and times changed it became apparent that a third tier of govt was required. So let’s think back to 1901. Council bin night wasn’t a thing. People burnt their rubbish in their back yards or inside. As population grew (and we became a hugely wasteful society) we needed bin nights. More people using the roads in cars. More land divided for housing development. All got LAWFULLY delegated by the states to local councils. Leaving the states to deal with bigger issues like education and hospitals. And the Federal govt to deal with the really big issues like defence, immigration, international affairs.
You should read this:
Local government and the Commonwealth: an evolving relationship – Parliament of Australia
Now every once in a while a politician or two has suggested a referendum to include a reference to local council in the constitution. Stupid really because the end result is nutters like Wayne Glue among others making outlandish claims which have never ever been established as fact. A few have tried taking this crap to court and they have all failed. Nice fellas like you get caught up in this because you feel aggrieved about the fines. BTW I kinda understand. The thing is parked out front of your house. Is it really harming anyone?
But I do think it is technically illegally parked and council is entitled to write up tickets. You have the right to challenge that in court. I reckon, maybe, a decent judge would have thrown it out because of this thing called common sense. But we will never know because you decided against taking it to court. Now whose fault is that??? YOUR'S.
I wish you well.
Final thing.

I disagree. Over all Australian’s are a pretty apathetic lot. The Captain of the cricket team is more important that our PM…. That is a good thing. It means the system is working pretty well. People are not inciting revolution. WHY? Because it is a good country, the laws are fair. The judges are legitimate and we are not enslaved. Let me prove it to you… You have freedom of speech. You can post on youtube. I can disagree with you. You can appeal the parking fine. You have rights.
Pay the fines. For god sake, don’t lose your licence / car registration only to wait for the cops to do you for driving unregistered because you’re not gonna win.
