Hi Leah
Firstly, I’m not a trained legal person [disclaimer]
I understand, after 2 x referendums in the negative, Local Govt is not a recognised for of Govt.
States create their own legislation creating Local Govt, however where ever State and Federal Acts contradict each other, Federal trumps state.
Also have a look at:
18 – Wayne Glew – Affidavit, followup, the ongoing details of challenge all Courts, magistrates and Judges
You can also read up on parking fines by councils to find out more about the
illegitimacy of Councils.
Good luck
Mark
