In response to an article published in the Sunday Herald Sun on *7 September 2025, titled “Mad, Bad and Dangerous”, I, Dawn Michelle Kelly, issue the following counter-narrative.
The original piece sought to ridicule, delegitimize, and criminalize Australians who are peacefully asserting their lawful rights and questioning state overreach. It relied on sensational headlines, selective omission, and character attacks.
The ripple effect of mainstream media controlling the narrative is profound: public perception is tainted, communities are divided, and those who dare to stand up for justice are vilified. By silencing legitimate grievances and framing truth-seekers as threats, the media shields the powerful while disempowering ordinary people.
What follows is my line-by-line response, restoring context, truth, and lawful foundation to the matters dismissed in that article.
Peaceful Australians Rising Against Unlawful Overreach
But across the country, ordinary men and women are awakening. They are studying historical documents like the Magna Carta, the 1836 Letters Patent, and UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) to challenge corporate overreach masquerading as government authority.
Photos of passionate community educators are splashed across pages to make them look eccentric or untrustworthy. Headlines scream danger, but what’s really dangerous is an unaccountable state profiting from unlawful statutes.
What is shared in seminars and workshops is not fantasy. It is lawful remedy — practical tools for defending oneself in court, protecting property, and asserting constitutional rights.
The Letters Patent of 1836 — still active — confirm that original and inherent jurisdiction has not been extinguished. Sovereign men and women invoking these instruments are not delusional. They are standing on unbroken foundations.
By contrast, the state rakes in billions in fines and fees:
$597 to retrieve your own driver’s licence.
$247 for a basic booklet explaining “rights you already have.”
$500+ for minor parking or red-light infractions.
If profit is the test, the government is the greatest profiteer of all.
Why? Because their arguments cannot be easily dismissed in court. When lawful challenges expose contradictions in the system, the state attacks the messenger instead of answering the message.
For decades, Australian courts have relied on rubber-stamp convictions, unchallenged certificates, and a conveyor-belt justice model. Self-represented litigants demanding due process disrupt this machine — and that disruption is framed as “nuisance.”
When Australians learn they can lawfully question police authority, refuse unlawful directions, and demand identification, the bluff collapses.
Knowledge spreads fast. That is why the system ridicules it.
What you are not told:
The constitutional foundations still binding Australia.
The human rights obligations under UNDRIP and international law.
The reality that justice must be accessible, fair, and open.
Australians are awakening. That awakening cannot be stopped by headlines, ridicule, or fear.

AWAKE, AWARE AND COURAGEOUS
Peaceful Australians Rising Against Unlawful Overreach
Huge dollars drive State profiteering
The Australian government extracts billions each year through speed cameras, parking fines, registrations, and unlawful taxes. This massive revenue stream depends on the public’s blind compliance — and silence.But across the country, ordinary men and women are awakening. They are studying historical documents like the Magna Carta, the 1836 Letters Patent, and UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) to challenge corporate overreach masquerading as government authority.
The Media Frame: Mad, Bad and Dangerous?
Mainstream outlets paint this movement as “mad, bad and dangerous.” In reality, it is peaceful, principled, and courageous.Photos of passionate community educators are splashed across pages to make them look eccentric or untrustworthy. Headlines scream danger, but what’s really dangerous is an unaccountable state profiting from unlawful statutes.
Knowledge Is Not Snake Oil
Professors and academics are wheeled out to dismiss sovereignty teachings as “snake oil.” Yet those same academics draw their salaries from institutions that rely on maintaining the status quo.What is shared in seminars and workshops is not fantasy. It is lawful remedy — practical tools for defending oneself in court, protecting property, and asserting constitutional rights.
Magna Carta and Historical Law
The Magna Carta is mocked as irrelevant. But it is a cornerstone of Western law, enshrining due process, trial by jury, and the principle that rulers are bound by law.The Letters Patent of 1836 — still active — confirm that original and inherent jurisdiction has not been extinguished. Sovereign men and women invoking these instruments are not delusional. They are standing on unbroken foundations.
Who Really Profits?
Media insists that sovereignty educators “make money.” In truth, workshop fees barely cover costs of venues, travel, and resource materials.By contrast, the state rakes in billions in fines and fees:
$597 to retrieve your own driver’s licence.
$247 for a basic booklet explaining “rights you already have.”
$500+ for minor parking or red-light infractions.
If profit is the test, the government is the greatest profiteer of all.
Character Assassination
Community leaders are smeared as “frauds,” “witches,” or “treasonous.” These are medieval accusations designed to ridicule.Why? Because their arguments cannot be easily dismissed in court. When lawful challenges expose contradictions in the system, the state attacks the messenger instead of answering the message.
Justice System Exposed
Media claims courts are “clogged with sovereign citizens.” The truth: courts are being forced to slow down and actually address procedural fairness.For decades, Australian courts have relied on rubber-stamp convictions, unchallenged certificates, and a conveyor-belt justice model. Self-represented litigants demanding due process disrupt this machine — and that disruption is framed as “nuisance.”
Police Fear Accountability
Police bulletins warn of “copycats.” What they fear is not violence — this movement is non-violent — but accountability.When Australians learn they can lawfully question police authority, refuse unlawful directions, and demand identification, the bluff collapses.
Knowledge spreads fast. That is why the system ridicules it.
Conclusion: Narrative Management
This article is not “investigative journalism.” It is narrative management: ridicule, fear, omission, and deflection.What you are not told:
The constitutional foundations still binding Australia.
The human rights obligations under UNDRIP and international law.
The reality that justice must be accessible, fair, and open.
Australians are awakening. That awakening cannot be stopped by headlines, ridicule, or fear.
