First Nations as equal founding peoples, not subordinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The Naturalised Crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A federal Head of State model ensuring continuity if current Crown arrangements change. States retain their constitutions; Commonwealth provides coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2192<\/strong> <a href=\"link\">Submission 2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
