Many a person may have had communications with Australia's
Rupert Murdoch's media empire with regards to certain aspects of law where there
is an eerie silence.
Not to worry though, one could not accuse the corporate
media of a conspiracy, as they may show up to court matters and portray people
as nutters, tin foil hatters or even conspiracy theorists with regards to certain
'theories' or interpretations about law.
The corporate media has gone to the trouble of publishing an
article about how an insurance company has accepted a new title assignment an
Mx.
This is literally useless information, as people need to
know what their title designations are meant at law.
What's worse is that it's not rocket science to find.
The assignment of Mr, Ms, Mrs or Miss can be found on page
516 of an Australian Government published book called the Style Manual (Sixth
Edition), under the paragraph titled Armed Services.
The text reads as follows:
In formal correspondence, officers in the armed services are
addressed by their rank, given name or initials, family name and any
postnominals; thus, Rear Adminal Felix Liou, AO. In formal correspondence,
officers of the rank army lieutenant, navy sub lieutenant and air force flying
officer and below are given conventional titles of (Mr, Ms, Mrs or Miss)
Officers of the rank of colonel and above can be addressed by their rank alone
without their name. Non-commissioned officers and other ranks are addressed by
their rank and family name, not by their given name - thus Private
Fotheringham.
While some people may argue that there is an interpretation
attached to that paragraph, the real question could be put to the High Court of
Australia (regarding the nature of law installed on the people of this land arising
from a hostile takeover of land from the original inhabitants), whose function
is to interpret the law in accordance to a document called the 'Australian
Constitution'.
Should you choose to read the corporate media's totally
pointless article you can find it in the following link:
