Editor’s picks
“Another indicator of the corrosion of trust in the system of government has been the rise of sovereign citizens. Courts have recorded a significant rise in litigants who reject the authority of the government or the rule of law and see themselves as falling outside of their jurisdiction. In the absence of a basic understanding of the system of government and law, people are vulnerable to being drawn in by these pseudo-legal arguments and are unable to discern the difference between genuine legal issues and legal quackery. As a constitutional expert, I receive a lot of communications from people alleging all kinds of constitutional conspiracies and legal ‘errors’ (usually relating to seals, oaths, appointments, corporations, currency or treaties), which magically cause all law to be invalid in Australia and all courts to have no authority. I also receive many requests from fact-checkers to explain why these conspiracy theories are wrong.”
