Extremist views infiltrate land claims
James Cook University researchers say sovereign citizen 'superconspiracies' are influencing Indigenous and other groups associated with native title claims and may be leading some down the path of extremism. Claire Holland is a senior lecturer in law at JCU and a co-author of a new paper on the subject. She said the Australian Native Title Act 1993 provides for the recognition of rights and interests to land which arise from the traditional laws and customs of Australian First Nation peoples. "We investigated how individuals who either disagree with the premise underlying native title, or who have suffered negative impacts through the course of native title claims, may be either targeted by or swept up in Australian sovereign citizen superconspiracy rhetoric," said Ms Holland.
