Constitutional Expert Debunks Youtube Comments with Professor Anne Twomey

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

Not everyone understands the Constitution, but not all misunderstandings of the Constitution are equal. Over the years I've gotten a lot of very bizarre comments that make outlandishly wrong and even conspiracy theory level claims about what is actually in the Constitution, or what has become of it. Is the Australian Government actually a corporation registered in Washington DC? Are Australians secretly classified as cargo under maritime law? Is Western Australia non-existent? Did Gough Whitlam secretly replace the Constitution with a different colour? Of course not. None of these claims make any sense. So to debunk them I've got Professor Anne Twomey, constitutional expert, to explain how it actually works and to encourage people to do the most basic fact checking exercise of all: actually reading things. Enjoy!
