Well - they do have a point - as much point as the Secessionist States seceding from the Union.... a Union entered into voluntarily can be broken...... and one entered into by one side involuntarily from birth is open to discussion at the very least......


Actually it can't. The Australian Constitution was written at a time the American Civil war was within the living memory of those involved in its writing and the preamble contains the words "...one Indissoluble Federal Commonwealth..."  to make perfectly clear that once a colony joined it was permanent with no legal option to leave.  This was probably one reason new Zealand opted to remain apart.

As for these 'sovereign citizens' the best way to deal with them is to give them what they want. Total separation from political and civil involvement. Of course this means that as they are not citizens they cannot access our welfare, education or healthcare services, have no call on our police and emergency services, cannot drive on our roads etc....they can be non citizens and enjoy all the perks that comes with it Grin 



Good post.....but  poor old graps  will likely be content to say "you have made no argument", and disappear back into his sovereign citizen, 'voluntary agreement'  fantasy. 



You have made no argument - a union entered into voluntarily may be broken at the will of a party.  If I join a club I can resign from it  - if I join a political party - I can quit.


Your error: national constitutions are  established to institute rule of law - of necessity to avoid chaos among self-interested citizens (which we all are).

National constitutions are NOT promulgated  "voluntarily" by any or each individual of a nation, they are agreed to by chosen delegates on behalf of the citizens, in order to establish rule of law and (hopefully) serve the nation's (collective) well-being.

You CANNOT "resign" from rule of law established  under the sovereignty of the Oz nation.

Quote:
At least you agree that OUR self-proclaimed 'sovereign citizens' who say they are not part of Australia should be given their own separate space, as a courtesy and a nod to their having been the First Invaders.


"At least"?  But you (and I) DON'T agree with the absurd concept of separate 1st nations'sovereignty within the Oz nation's sovereignty which establishes rule of law in Oz.

Those who have never surrendered sovereignty to another or former 'power' cannot be citizens of this state unless they accept citizenship of this state.  As long as they claim suzereignty under any other state exclusively they can receive no benefits from Australia.

Backpackers just wandering through do not receive benefits... ergo - those who claim to belong to some former empire equally hold no right to receive benefits.

Two errors, the 2nd arising from the first:

1.  American Indians and Oz blacks were FORCED to accept the sovereignty imposed on them by the invaders.

2. Oz blacks DO receive  "welfare benefits"  from the Oz government.

More GIGO: indeed, travellers to other countries aren't entitled to benefits from those countries; as opposed to those who claim 'sovereignty by citizenship' aka 'sovereign citizens' - who imagine they aren't subject to the sovereignty of the nation whose passport they hold -  are deluding themselves.

That's brilliant

There's someone I know I'd love to show it to

but I'm afraid they're so far down that rabbit hole that it would be a waste of time

and I'd be in for a monumental rant and abuse.

None the less it's sort of like what I've told them before about this nonsense.

Do Sovereign Citizens Dream Of Artificial Votes?

Just keep in mind that the rejection of an unfair or unjust law is not an exercise in sovereign citizenship.... such an extreme can only be reached by entering into a civil war and literally enforcing the 'right' to go one's own way... we all know of laws that we refuse to abide by.... some silly law about treading on the toes of some snake if we climb our own national park mountain are not laws that are legally binding - they are silly laws - non-existent other than in the phantom realms of someone's mind... same as trannyism and Aboriginalism (Black Supremacism) ... "I feel therefore it must be or I'll prosecute you" is not a basis for a valid government..... and expecially it can never be the basis for the imposition of legalised violence on any individual or group...... (FCS keep up on 'lawfare', dorks - surely you can think for yourselves 5% of the time - I haven't got all day to hold your hands every step of the way....)


“Some failed herpetological experiment is no basis on which to form a valid argument to develop a multi-layered government by changing the Constitution!  True government comes from a mandate of the masses, willingly given and fully informed! We're a semi-autonomous, quasi-anarchic egalitarian assemblage of rules-bound free individuals who vote every three years on our elected representatives, who then sit down and natter out the best way forward, and if we disagree with them we can write to them or vote them out next time around, or even refuse to abide by their dictates under the guiding principle that 'an unjust law – (or decision or policy for that matter) – is no law - (or decision or policy for that matter) - at all'!  We don't need no Voices in our heads telling us what to do!!”

Yes, once they've gone down the rabbit hole there's no coming back.

They would just say that everything in the video is wrong. The lawyers are wrong.

You can't reason with these people.


"I'm not driving, I'm travelling".     Grin

I'd like one of these cops to ask these morons to look at the gear lever in their car and ask them what position they put it in when they want to travel - 'Drive' or 'Travel'?

Morons.

You mean a law which advantages a particular (minority) group at the expense of others, requiring a majority in an election to overturn the "unjust"  law.   

Quote:

A civil war to walk on Ayres Rock is a bit extreme; a political party to achieve it might be a better way to go if you are passionate enough about it.

But indeed apparently  Trudeau is preparing for the possibility of a civil war in his Southern neighbour after Nov 5th....

Quote:
True government comes from a mandate of the masses, willingly given and fully informed!


I've exposed the error in that proposition  before; people ("the masses") have different opinions, and the 'experts' (supposedly fully informed)  are divided, so you won't necessarily be able to rely on an appeal to "the people" to get your way.

I was ignoring you, not replying to you, MR Strauss *- following the crowd, you see - not 'refuting' anything you say - not worth the trouble when people make nonsensical points' over and over by simply refusing reality.

Did it occur to you that they were talking about something more important than you?

I'm well aware your intellectual (sic) blindness renders you incapable of addressing the issue of " the people" ...each of whom has his own opinion, and therefore the concept of the 'sovereign citizen' is absurd since  sovereignty can only reside in government and rule of law.   Even King John recognised that when he was forced to sign the Magna Carta back in the day. 

Do try to keep up (access your brain).

You are confused as usual - by yourself - I say people as sovereign - in that sense each individual is sovereign .... it has nothing to do with THIS 'sovereign citizen' thing at all..... it just says that in our form of democracy the people SHOULD properly hold the power - must I refer you once more to Gilbert and Sullivan?

Even back then smart people realised the reality of power and the chicanery of politics -and how the real power in the land, rather than residing with the voting public - actually resides with those who determine who they get to vote for.... pals on the inside...

... make connections..... get elected to some tiny seat by 100 votes ..... next thing you know you are appointed First Lord Of The Admiralty without ever having set foot on a ship... we get that here with 'magistrates' and 'judges' and such as well as politicians and now top rank APPOINTED 'public servants', who are mates of parties in reality and do as they are told and want to do anyway.... same agenda.....

That's how we got Robodebt ....  that's how we get all this Aboriginal activism trouble endless ..... that's how we get all the division and poor law-making and poor court decisions over and over ... that's how we get neo-Feudalism, the belief in the divine right of elected government to do as it pleases, creeping into elected politics.... that's how we get the belief in 'judges' etc that rather than being servants of the law with obligations, they simply have absolute power (and we all know where that leads) ... and that leads us to the situation where people with the ear of government can go about creating trouble after trouble out of thin air and just keep pushing the envelopes/the boundaries, like the children they are in reality ........

I'm not the only one who sees these things clearly.... but we tend to forgive the autistic like you.... we're a kind lot, we Realists.
