About this listen
An extreme movement of Australians who reject the authority of our government and believe they’re exempt from laws, taxes and the values of mainstream society has snowballed over the past five years.
Known as “sovereign citizens”, they’re most visible at anti-government protests and came under the glare of national spotlight during the COVID pandemic. While some sympathise with the notion the government has over-reached into our lives and personal freedoms, sovereign citizen ideology is built on conspiracy and misinformation. So what happens when the ideology comes into the family home?
In this exclusive episode of The Briefing, Tom Tilley brings you the story of an ordinary Australian dad whose ex-partner transformed from a suburban mum into a sovereign citizen, turning their family life into a “living nightmare”.
