I was looking at this:

Financial Administration Act Part III Public Disbursements 29. (1) Where a guarantee has been given under the authority of Parliament by or on behalf of Her Majesty for the payment of any debt or obligation, any amount required to be paid by the terms of the guarantee may, subject to the Act authorizing the guarantee, be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

And thinking, if WE are the GUARANTEE... where IS this Act authorizing this guarantee?

It looks like it could tie in with this one from the UK:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/51-52/41 Local Government Act 1888 c.41 (Regnal . 51 & 52 VICT)- Part V- Proceedings of Councils and Committees: Section 79: Incorporation of County Council Subsection(2)-

(2)All duties and liabilities of the inhabitants of a county shall become and be duties and liabilities of the council of such county.

The expression �liabilities� includes liability to any proceeding for enforcing any duty or for punishing the breach of any duty, and includes all debts and liabilities to which any authority are or would but for this Act be liable or subject to, whether accrued due at the date of the transfer or subsequently accruing, and includes any obligation to carry or apply any money to any sinking fund or to any particular purpose:

The expression �powers, duties, and liabilities,� includes all powers, duties, and liabilities conferred or imposed by or arising under any local and personal Act

The UK Act appears to acknowledge responsibility to the inhabitants/people for their liabilities...this suggests to me a possible link to the government (county council in this example) accepting liability as compensation for selling of the nation's resources/inhabitants' collective birthright.

For me it's just one piece of the puzzle...

The details seem to be hidden all over the place...I'm having a look through Australian 'Public Trust' clubhouse rules at the moment to see if/how that ties into the CRF

Section 79(2) was the only relevant section I could find...this video seems to explain some of the specifics (New Zealand, ie: from the Commonwealth), I'm just trying to find the equivalent clubhouse rules that apply to where I am:
