Although many of the following matters ran concurrently and on the same subject, I have divided them into their particular series as: (1) Corica v … Continue reading The Corica’s
You should be hung for treason
I see a sense of frustration frequently on social media, that the courts are “corrupt” because they are not upholding the “true law”, and following the fantastical script the OPCA adherent has in their head. This is often followed with calls of "treason" and threats that all politician, police and lawyers should be “hung for … Continue reading You should be hung for treason
United Kingdom of Australia
The United Kingdom of Australia is an OPCA cult headed by the "King of Australia" Steven Spiers, founded on the flawed concepts he expressed in his papers “Realm and Commonwealth” and “Realm and Man”. The basic storyline is that Australia achieved sovereignty following WWI, by virtue of the sacrifice made by the ANZAC's, it had … Continue reading United Kingdom of Australia
Mick Arnup

Like many other failed constitutional theorists, James Rech has styled himself as a "Commonwealth Public Official" which he claims endows him with powers over the judiciary and government.

Brian Shaw
Brian Shaw argues with a non-existent court One of my favourite passages from Brian Shaw's cases, that really highlights the paradox and internal inconsistency that OPCA litigants in general create for themselves, was stated by Maxwell P in Shaw v Attorney-General for the State of Victoria [2011] VSCA 63 (at 25): "If the Constitution Act … Continue reading Brian Shaw
