Re-Issue: Why should we care about conspiracy theorists and so-called sovereign citizens?

Yesterday, (August 26th, 2025), two police officers were shot and killed in the Victorian town of Porepunkah.

The suspected gunman, Dezi Freeman, is still on the run.

Dezi is an alleged "Sovereign Citizen", so today we are re-issuing our episode from 2023 "Ep #305: Why should we care about conspiracy theorists and so-called sovereign citizens?"
