123-2023.pdf SOV CITS - STEVE DAMETTO AFP REPORT.pdf
THE SOVEREIGN CITIZEN MOVEMENT IN AUSTRALIA.
Stephen Dametto.
Acting Assistant Commissioner
Counter Terrorism & Special Investigations
Australian Federal Police (A.F.P).
[UNCLASSIFIED]
Traditionally, SovCits sought to
dissociate from society and refuse to
engage with societal requirements
like paying tax.
Characteristics of the new movement
• Organised
• Recruiting & evangelising
• Co-opting or overlapping with
other movements (anti-vax,
conspiracy, far-right)
• Use of technology to connect
globally with other SovCit
movements.
Example: “Freedom Convoy” in Canada which inspired a number of
movements globally, including in Australia.
"While different to other extremist groups, the potential for violence, fixation and
harassment exists within these groups".
(p.9) "As a concept, the sovereign citizen movement and individuals identifying as sovereign
citizens, or similar..."
