The Wayne Glew December 2018

Believing his local government was unconstitutional, in legal costs and council $300000 were owned by Wayne Kenneth Glew, lives in Geraldine. He believes that all the money he has is his own and the civil laws of the Australian government are useless. He is a believe that Australian society laws only applied to citizens if you are Australian. Wayne Kenneth Glew, from Geraldton, owed his council $300,000 in rates and legal prices, that he refused to pay as a result of he believed native governments were unconstitutional.

 Mr. Glew is one among a casual movement of 'freemen' or 'sovereign citizens', UN agency believed Australian legislative laws solely applied if you consented to them. City of bigger Geraldton civil authority Shane Van Styn aforesaid adult male Glew's actions was an injustice to those doing the proper issue by paying their yearly rates.

"[He has] some crazy misconception that the laws do not apply to him, and regrettably we have been forced to take action to seize his property to cover costs that rightfully belong to the ratepayers of Greater Geraldton, Mr. Van Styn said.”

Mr. Glew, a former officer, has appealed a writ from the council to get rid of his possessions from the property. It is not the primary time he has taken his fight to the court of charm. In 2014 he was declared a "vexatious litigant" by the Supreme Court of Washington, together with his position being represented as "nonsensical and incoherent".  Mr. Glew claimed the town of bigger Geraldton couldn't lawfully build constituents pay rates, as a result of native governments weren't written in Australia's constitution.

Constitutional law professional faculty member Anne Twomey aforesaid the council's actions were legal. "The State of Washington has the ability to enact legislation that sets up a system of government, which incorporates the town of bigger Geraldton and alternative places," she aforesaid. Mr. Glew aforesaid the town couldn't seize his land as a result of the claimed it beneath royal charter. "It isn't obtaining oversubscribed as a result of I’ve got it command beneath clause sixty-one of a royal charter," he aforesaid.

"They cannot touch it, they fenced it — I threw the gates away, they put concrete blocks there — I threw them away, I blocked it.”

I own it and that I bought it." Magna Carta was originally issued by John of England in 1215 as an answer to a political crisis. Since then it's been the muse of constitutional and parliamentary government for Britain and Commonwealth countries. Professor Twomey aforesaid Magna Charta was a crucial historic statute however had a very little connotation in today's society. "You have gotten that under British law, their constitution is that the system of parliamentary sovereignty which suggests that parliament itself will invariably amendment its own laws," she aforesaid.

"There is very little left of Magna Carta in the United Kingdom because many later laws have overridden and changed it from time to time”

The same issue arises in Australia — Magna Charta became a part of Australian law as a received British law … it'd are a far cut-down version of Magna Carta. "Only the limited dribs and drabs that were left, and even those dribs and drabs they're not entrenched as a part of our law they are simply part of the normal statute which will be modified by later statute."

Mr. Glew is simply one amongst many that have taken an immediate stance against paying rates or taxes.

A white and red sign reading 'Border Hutt stream Province' stands next to a gravel road underneath a blue cloudy sky. In 1970, Middle West farmer writer Casey declared his land the princedom of Hutt stream and claimed to be a sovereign state once a stout with the government over wheat production quotas. The alleged micronation wasn't wrongfully recognized by the Australian Government and in 2017 the Supreme Court of WA ordered the family pay quite $3 million in taxes owed. M. Van Styn aforesaid seizing mister Glew's property was a final resort. "Everyone is needed to pay the prices of living in a very community," he aforesaid. "We don't have roads and civic services out of obscurity. "We need rates to run a town that functions with all the services that everybody desires from day to day”

"If people think they are above contributing to that under lawful direction from the state then regrettably we must take such severe action."

Professor Twomey aforesaid despite what folks believed, the law would prevail."If you notice, all of those folks [who] object to paying taxes or rates and everything else says that the laws are invalid," she said.

"The curious thing is I have never heard any single one of them ever complain that the law is invalid if it gives them unemployment benefits or if it gives them an advantage"

"Nor does one ever see them refusing to use a hospital or a college or a road as a result of it's been purchased by others underneath invalid taxes or rates. "People tend to only wish to require the advantages and not want to pay or contribute."
