This rule is without prejudice to article 46."
The State of Australia ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women on 28 July 1983.
Pursuant to CEDAW Article 4.1 – you have your basic female human rights to be heard under International Law at the domestic level in the Courts in the State of Australia. Thus the combination of these two INTERNATIONAL LAWS, you have the right to proceed to state your case with the observance of these two treaties, being a subject of International Law CEDAW.
