Chapter 629 Legal Systems of Western Australian States

Half an hour later, in front of a dilapidated house.

"Did this guy plan everything out? He will run away and hide after blackmailing people?" Yuan Shuai pressed the doorbell for a long time but there was no response, and no one answered the phone.

"You see, the garage door is open. It seems that no one has lived here recently. The house is probably arranged by someone." Chen Xi walked to the garage and checked it carefully.

It was full of dust and there were no signs of recent parking.

"What should I do?"

"I'll go find the lawyer who fought the case for us last time and ask him to come forward to resolve it... Because I suddenly remembered something. George seemed to have said before that he had received reports from many parties, but currently we only know that this foreigner reported us..." Chen Xi thought of Chris, and the information that George might have accidentally let slip.

Melbourne Town Hall stands in the central square between William Street and Swanston Street, where Victorian leaders meet and make decisions.

"Other states have started operations. This time our main targets are large companies owned by Asians in Australia, especially Chinese companies. For small and medium-sized enterprises, we use frequent investigations to deter these people.

Australia has always been a white territory. Over the years, more and more yellow-skinned people have come to this land, and some of the business methods we use have disrupted the harmonious market balance. In order for us locals to maintain a happy and fulfilling life in the disharmonious competition, the government must make controls.

Previously, a case was filed in Kansas City to restrict Asians from buying home loans, but they actually countered the move. As we all can see, Asians continued to drive up housing prices, making it impossible for young Australians to buy homes. Bank mortgage interest rates also continued to rise. This is not a good phenomenon.

Some people say that the booming real estate market can drive the development of the country's economy, which is not wrong. However, Australia is a multi-party democracy, and we are all from different parties. As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad, and each represents the interests of different people. I won't say more, everyone understands...

The targets of this attack are mainly groups that can control the economic lifeline of the country, such as mines, logistics, education, etc. Wheel Group was originally a large logistics company with a long history in Australia.

"During the financial crisis, someone took advantage of us and took away our control. This is a very dangerous signal. We have negotiated with Huayuan Group before, but they didn't buy it. So we can only adopt a new method..." In the conference room, a middle-aged woman was talking with a microphone.

What's surprising is that she talks about bashing Asians, but it turns out that she is actually an Asian herself.

Penny was born in Malaysia. Both of her parents are overseas Chinese. She immigrated to Australia with her family in her early years. She graduated from Ah Chuan University and is a member of the team. After graduation, she has worked in many jobs and is now a leader in the Ministry of Finance.

Similar to other Australian politicians, her thoughts are constantly changing. Sometimes she stands up for Asians and encourages Australia to live in peace with Asian countries, and sometimes she clings to other Western countries. Her approach is really somewhat without stance.

The other white people in the meeting room were not shocked by Penny's comments against Asians, because there are many people like her in Western countries.

There are many Asians among many Western politicians. They don’t consider themselves Asians at all, but instead want to show their loyalty to white people.

"I have a question. If you drive all the Asians away, what will happen to the group's investment? We said before that we would give them some money to buy back their shares, but most Asian groups didn't buy it. Now if you force them out, the capital chain of these big groups in Turkey and Australia will be cut off. Isn't that a loss without gain?" A foreigner with a golden beard raised his hand and asked.

What he said makes sense. If all Asians withdraw their capital, it will be just like the stock market. If no one plays anymore, won't the market collapse?

Then someone must be found to take over. If Australia drives away the previous investor, the next investor will definitely have concerns about whether he will be abandoned in the future. This is not conducive to the development of Australia.

"What you said is correct, but there are pros and cons. I have already thought of a solution to this problem, which is to open up the door to business investment immigration and let more people invest! Use their money to fill these gaps. There are many Asians who want to immigrate now. Even if we increase the cost of investment immigration to 20 million, they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money. We just need to lower other standards, such as the English threshold. Because some nouveau riche only have money in their hands, and their cultural level is not high..." Penny smiled and looked at everyone.

"This is a good idea. Since someone is giving us money for free, just give them an identity."

"Yes, once they immigrate here, their deposits in other countries will definitely be transferred here, and we can just scrape them off layer by layer."

"Okay, okay, it turns out that Asians understand Asians best."

"Ahem, keep your voice down. These Asians hate it most when someone says they are Asian."

The foreigners in the conference room were discussing.

Penny's face turned pale and blue as she sat there listening.

Indeed, many Asians want to dye their skin white. They have been looked down upon by people around them since childhood, just like a sheep of a different color entering a flock of white sheep. The result is that a group of white sheep will bully the different sheep.

Asians have a characteristic, that is, they think they are white, but white people do not regard them as their own. How to put it, they are like a special existence between Asians and whites.

"It doesn't seem to be a good idea to do this in the long run. Although Australia has a small population now, as more and more immigrants come, it will become like Australia. The welfare benefits of citizens will become worse and worse, and the finances will be tight. We can hardly even pay relief to the homeless. If the welfare gets worse, the locals will definitely clamor and make trouble..." A worker frowned.

The Gongdang is now in power, so naturally he has to consider his own faction.

"Australia has always given priority to accepting skilled workers as immigrants. Recently, the real estate market has become increasingly hot, and there are not enough workers. Last year, we opened up a new immigration policy and introduced a number of construction workers from abroad. But think about it, Australia is so large, but how many people are there? These real estate developers have built so many houses, and all of them are idle. The market emphasizes supply and demand. If the market is saturated in the later stage, and fewer and fewer people buy houses without deliberate speculation, the growth rate of houses will slow down, and the original immigrant construction workers will lose their jobs, which will become a big problem..." Another member of the work team also spoke.

"Australia has always given priority to doctors, accountants, engineers and other professions in its skilled immigration... I think the rules should be changed, that is, to extend the immigration process, and then observe what professions Australia is short of, and then retain useful people. This way, there will not be a problem of too many single professions." Penny began to express her opinions again.

"I have something to say. I am a representative of businessmen. My company has suffered from unfair competition from Asians before. We were originally the largest industry leader in Australia, but we were taken over by a newly emerging company..." A foreigner with strong limbs raised his hand and shouted.

CAIC Manager's Office.

"Chris, what's the situation now? Are the higher-ups preparing to take collective action against our Chinese company?" Chen Xi and A Lin were no longer as lazy as before, and they all looked at the big lawyer in front of them.

"I guess so, so you should prepare a way out." Although Chris is an Australian lawyer, he knows that it is useless to forcefully bring out any legal regulations to speak in front of the authorities.

Many people probably don’t know much about the Western legal system and think that as long as they follow the laws, they will definitely win the case. In fact, Western laws are very different from ours. It can be said that laws are just a reference in actual application.

Historically, the Western legal system has evolved from customary law to written law, and has gradually formed the prototype of the modern legal system, which is divided into various legal departments such as constitution, administrative law, and civil law.

As social conditions change, the law continues to adapt to new social needs, and there has been a trend of privatization of public law and publicization of private law.

Western countries usually adopt a separate code or a mixed embedded model in legislation. The separate code model, such as the Australian and American, stipulates the principles, procedures and measures of compulsory execution in the form of a separate code. The mixed embedded model, such as the German and American, embeds the relevant content of compulsory execution into codes such as the Civil Procedure Law.

The jury system is an important feature of the judicial system of federal countries. It refers to a jury composed of a number of ordinary citizens with good reputations selected from the community according to certain rules to review the facts of the case. Jury members usually do not need to have a profound legal education background to review the facts of the case. Instead, they rely on their basic conscience, morality, and social experience, and make their own logical judgments by listening to the debates of the lawyers on both sides in court.

As one of the federal member states, Australia is a typical common law country that is deeply influenced by the legal traditions and legal principles of the United Kingdom.

Australian law is mainly composed of statutory law and case law. In terms of statutory law, there is a formal constitution at the federal level, the Commonwealth Constitution of Australia 1900, referred to as the "Federal Constitution". Case law is the substantive and procedural principles summarized by courts at all levels in many years of case trial practice.

The federal constitution provides the most basic political framework and legal system of the federal government and establishes the relationship between the federal government and other state governments.

In addition to the federal constitution, Australia's main sources of law (in order of effectiveness) include other federal legislation, judicial interpretations of the constitution and federal legislation by the Australian High Court and the Federal Court, state constitutions, other state legislation and judicial interpretations. International treaties are also one of Australia's important sources of law, but before a treaty is converted into domestic law, each state has the right to refuse to apply the treaty.

Each state in Australia has its own unique court system. For example, in Victoria, the state supreme court is the highest court of jurisdiction in the state, handling major criminal and civil cases in the state, as well as appeals from courts at all levels in the state. The district court is the intermediate court of jurisdiction in each state, handling most important civil and commercial litigation cases. Under the district court, each state also established a primary court, which mainly handles small economic, civil and minor criminal cases.

In short, when Westerners open a court, they will pay attention to "human feelings" when trying a case, that is, the final trial result will be decided according to the ideas of the judge and the jury.

For example, if someone is speeding, according to Australian law, if they exceed the speed limit by more than 50%, they will be brought to court if they are caught.

According to the explicit provisions of the law, if you exceed the speed limit by 50%, you will definitely go to jail.

But that’s not actually the case.

Many international students exceed the speed limit by more than 100%. Chen Xi once drove at a speed of over 240 kilometers per hour.

If you get caught, even if you go to court, you will just be fined and banned from the road.

As for going to jail, that won’t happen.

But if this kind of thing happened in China, it would definitely be judged according to the Basic Law.

What Chris meant when he said this is actually what he wanted to express.

If the higher-ups really want to get you, even if you go to court, the judge and jury will help the Australians to suppress the Asians.

If you use legal provisions to argue, even if you are right, the judge will find some reasons to favor the white people on the other side.

This kind of thing is common in real life, for example, a black person ate peanuts, but a white person was acquitted.

If you bring up things like democracy, law, or racial discrimination, it's simply a waste of words and your ideas are too naive.

Some Western countries even ignore media opinion because they know that white people definitely make up the majority in their own territory.

Will white people help people of other skin colors speak up?

Even if there are, they are only a minority.

Therefore, as long as the emotions of the majority of people can be stabilized, public opinion will be eliminated sooner or later.

"Oh, I thought before that after I became a citizen, they would treat me as one of their own, which would make it easier to do business with me. Now they've started to discriminate based on skin color, which is really abominable." Alin slammed the table angrily.

In fact, it was indeed convenient for him to do business after becoming a naturalized citizen, for example, he went to Da Piaoliang to invest in Yingwei.

Now it has become very funny. Foreigners think he is an Australian, while Australians think he is not their compatriot.

This is a bit like outsiders from China settling down in Shanghai, but the locals in Shanghai think they are rural residents.

"Now is not the time to complain. Think of a good solution." Chen Xi poked A Lin's arm with his hand, then looked at Chris.

"I can use legal means to delay time and minimize the losses. But the final result, I think, depends on the change in the attitude of the Australian authorities.

Although I am a lawyer, I serve major companies. In my opinion, this incident is nothing more than a conflict of interest between Asians and local Australians in business. If the Australians get the benefits they want, they will better stop, because Asians have made a lot of contributions to Australia's economic development. If they lose these people, Australia's economy will probably regress for many years, which is not what they want to see. "Chris straightened his suit and took a sip of coffee and explained.

"We at Real-Car have been framed. The ACCC investigator will definitely come again next time. He said he wants to take the data away. How can I agree to such a thing? Do you have any good ideas?" Chen Xi lit a cigarette.

"Taking away data involves a lot of procedures, and it takes a long time to get the documents, because the characterization is more complicated. Generally, unless the company intentionally leaks user information for commercial purposes, or it constitutes a threat to national security, it will basically not be approved. I don't think you need to worry too much." Chris waved his hand. He felt that Chen Xi was making a fuss over nothing.

"I mean if..." Chen Xi always had a bad feeling in his heart. (End of this chapter)
