Lawfare
A growing anti-government movement in Australia is challenging the authority of the courts, councils and cops. Some call themselves sovereign citizens, others freedom fighters. Supercharged during the COVID lockdowns, the movement's rising influence and resolve has made it one of the judiciary's primary concerns. They're flooding the legal system with pseudolaw claims, staging their own "trials" and targeting officials with campaigns of harassment and intimidation. While they claim to be peaceful, many express the desire for an armed population, ready to act against what they see as an oppressive government. This week on Four Corners, reporter Mahmood Fazal embeds with key figures inside the movement to see how it operates. From "sheriffs" serving their own court orders to government departments, to local council meetings overrun by anti-vax activists. Lawfare traces how the movement is trying to exert influence across Australia. Legal experts explain how this seemingly victimless civil disobedience can sometimes escalate into intimidation, violence and serious risks to public safety. The investigation exposes a movement that's testing the limits of Australian law and the institutions meant to uphold it. It examines the human and institutional impact of the movement and the danger to our democracy if it's not taken seriously. Lawfare, reported by Mahmood Fazal and produced by Amy Donaldson, goes to air August 18 at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.

A deer wreaking havoc on Melbourne roads during Thursday rush hour has been hit by a vehicle and killed. A deer wreaking havoc on Melbourne roads during Thursday rush hour has been killed. The deer was reported to authorities as it walked along the Eastern Freeway at Kew about 4am, a police spokeswoman said. By 7am the animal was in the area of a major intersection at Doncaster Rd and Burke Rd in Kew East. The animal was then hit and killed by a motorist. At 9.30am, workers were removing the large carcass. Police at the scene told NewsWire it was not uncommon for deer to walk out of Darebin Parklands into the surrounding suburbs. Images show the animal laying dead on Doncaster Rd. There are more than 50,000 licenced deer hunters in Victoria, and there are no bag limits or off-season for most of the invasive species.
