What The FUQ? - Frequently Unanswered Questions of the "Australian Government" - Documentary

 

I watched this today and thought I would share.

 

What are your thoughts?

though not a constitutional lawyer I suspect he has identified an administrative oversight rather than criminal conspiracy.  I also note no reference to the Act interpretation Act which may well contain the answer to his question around the names being different. Well reasoned and grounded argument none the less. 

 

I wonder how long he will wait before paying to retrieve his corvette?  While they may determine there is no public interest in chasing a few hundred dollars from the projector, they will chase large amounts or a case that will set an unpalatable precedent.

Good points Wayne I was thinking the same thing. The hassle of the projector is not worth the collected GST.

 

The car well that is another story. I do admire his tenacity though..

So if its an administrative oversight, would it still not be possible to trace back the change of name? As he claimed he tried?

And also, if again it was simply an oversight,  then would the 'government dept.' still apparently have such difficulty in showing evidence that it is actually the same government that was established during federation?

 

It was a very interesting doco, it definitely raises a few questions for me.

It does make me wonder how far down the rabbit hole do you go?

Eg, lets just say that hes right and therefore all the 'government' as we know it actually has no legal power when challenged.

Obviously challenging them in a court or with a judicial system that they dont own/control would be impossible, but you wouldnt have to pay land rates, government charges, medicare, taxes, obey police, pay rego ect ect.

Could definately have some benefits there, but on the other hand, when your house was on fire, or your car was stolen, someone assaulted, gone to hospital for a procedure ect ect you wouldnt be entitled to the benefits that come along with this corporation called govenrment.

You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

 

Neo: What truth?

 

Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.
