Over the past six months members have filmed themselves entering or attempting to enter court houses, police stations, local council chambers and commercial offices across the country.
During these interactions, an NDA “sheriff” typically approaches a polite, but often confused, front desk worker to proclaim Australia is now a “demilitarised zone” and that all government authority has been dissolved before handing them a written notice.
The notice warns “failure to be fully compliant” with NDA’s rules “will certainly place you at severe risk of possible persecution, imprisonment or financial ruin”.
Over time, these interactions have become more confrontational.
Video seen by ABC Investigations showed police forcefully ejecting members of the group from Gympie Court House in May.
What in tarnation?
I guess it’s a little bit like religion and a true belief in a god.
If you truly believe it, then you are in a circle of faith, so to speak, and it doesn’t matter what anybody says, that is true to you in your heart, and you will live that life.
So I guess for these people, if that is how they really are, they truly believe that the system is completely broken, and probably illegal, and they are trying to set up a new one I presume?
I know some people that are in this kind of world, but different.
Same, same, very different I guess you could say. And they are completely disenfranchised with the current political system and the corruption within it.
That leads you to look elsewhere, and I guess like a church, when people are down and they go looking for help, the church will bring you in and the indoctrination begins.
Well this is a brand new level of crazy. I’m almost impressed.

Start giving front line workers tasers.
Hell just do that in general, we may as well have fun with the apocalypse
And get into a fight with ten lunatics?
Rather give them a silent alarm button to call in people to show them how demilitarized Australia actually is.
These clowns build their own world of made up laws while rejecting any they don’t like. And it’s the public servants that have to put up with it.
And get into a fight with ten lunatics?
Ten tasers!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NDA was co-founded by Mr Murrin’s former partner Helen Delaney, who attracted national attention last year when a video went viral showing a NSW Police officer ripping out her car window to arrest her, as she voiced baseless claims about why she and her companion were exempt from the law.
Ms Delaney lost custody of her children in 2022 and Mr Murrin says NDA is her latest attempt to take back their two sons by force, accusing her and her anti-government allies of making his family’s life “pure hell”.
In May, during a recruitment drive in the Gold Coast hinterland town of Nerang that was led by Ms Delaney, NDA members were seen wearing uniforms — khaki pants, Akubra hats, and light beige shirts with the word “sheriff” on the breast pocket.
Mr Avati, battling driving offence charges, has sent an email to a magistrate in the Sydney suburb of Burwood demanding they pay $100,000 into his account or face a “full investigation by the first nations Nmdaka Dalai Australis Court”.
Extremism researcher Kaz Ross says NDA is the “logical conclusion” of an anti-government movement that sincerely views the country’s political and legal institutions as an active threat to the public and sees its own actions as protecting children.
Property records show the Queensland house that Mr Murrin was summoned to belonged to Jeffrey Cranston, a sovereign citizen who local media reported had threatened to burn down both the courthouse and council chambers in Gympie.
