i tried to fight this shit in court once... dug up some choice old grandfathered laws that had been ignored mostly subsequently by the british parliament and then the queensland parliament, relating to crown granted monopolies

i was subjected to 45 minutes of irrelevant case law citations and then guilty anyway

but it was kinda cool to make this dude sweat because he obviously didn't have great familiarity with the precedence of british law to australian (i read the whole constitution through to figure this out, but i don't expect a local magistrate would have spent much time so far outside his juris my diction.
