We've approached knowledgeable people in the academia that do know about the constitution [/highlight]and what we propose is one of the very few legal and peaceful ways to correct mistakes of an election in Australia. In fact our constitution, by providing the Governor General, ironically, makes the change possible.
We are not here to debate the fact that the constitution provides with a change lever, this is already known.
We are just letting people know, and not only on this forum, that there is a tool available to be used should they wish to use it (as opposed of sending dead-end messages around the internet or standing on the streets obstructing traffic) and we are here ready to administer and coordinate.
Section 70: Certain powers of Governors to vest in Governor-General
In respect of matters which, under this Constitution, pass to the Executive Government of the Commonwealth, all powers and functions which at the establishment of the Commonwealth are vested in the Governor of a Colony, or in the Governor of a Colony with the advice of his Executive Council, or in any authority of a Colony, shall vest in the Governor‑General, or in the Governor‑General in Council, or in the authority exercising similar powers under the Commonwealth, as the case requires.
