Groups spring up on social media, claiming to hold secret knowledge the Australian government is holding back from regular citizens: the Australian Taxation Office "isn't real".

The sovereign citizen movement rejects the legitimacy of the government. Its fast-growing popularity has had authorities scrambling to get a handle on how far its tentacles have reached.

Unfortunately, Mr Oxby was persuaded by this theory during the seminar, which I infer from his evidence, was presented in a persuasive and charismatic manner."

    Why don’t they believe they need to pay tax? Because they don’t want to and some scam artist told them they didn’t have to, and they are fucking idiots.

    You have to wonder where this idiocy comes from; it is people who don’t want to pay taxes so make up some Bullshit and share it online?, is it people who want to scam other people and feed them bullshit so they can make money off the gulliable?, is it people who spread disinformation because they want to see the world burn?
