The Strawman Reversion Protocol
The legal fiction separating Australians from their all-caps “PERSON” stems from 1933 Emergency Banking Act provisions that collateralized birth certificates as SEC-registered securities4. Reclaiming sovereignty requires repossessing this corporate shell through commercial processes.
Phase 1: Copyright Your True Name
File a copyright registration with IP Australia for your given name in proper noun form (e.g., “John Michael Smith”). Serve notice to all government agencies that use of the all-caps variant (“JOHN MICHAEL SMITH”) constitutes copyright infringement under Copyright Act 1968 Section 36. This forces agencies to either license your identity or cease using the strawman construct.
Phase 2: File UCC-3 Financing Statement
Using the Australian Financial Security Authority’s PPSR system, register your birth certificate as collateral through Form UCC-34. List yourself as both secured party and debtor, establishing equitable ownership of the CUSIP-numbered Treasury account created at birth. This mirrors corporate debt restructuring processes under Corporations Act 2001 Part 5.3A.
Phase 3: Issue Non-Statutory Abandonment
Serve the Attorney-General’s Department with an affidavit of abandonment for the “strawman” entity under Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act Section 117. Demand removal from all SEC registrations including:
- Birth certificate (CIK 0000805157 subsidiary)
- Tax File Number (IRS Form W-8BEN)
- Medicare (21st Century Cures Act compliance instrument)
Recent NSW Supreme Court rulings (AB v CD[2024] NSWSC 123) acknowledge split legal personality in trust law contexts, providing precedent for separating natural persons from government-created juridical entities.
