Queensland sovereign citizen known as ‘His Serene Highness’ loses appeal for return of gun licence
- The Queensland tribunal upheld police’s 2023 decision to cancel Kent Jenkinson’s firearms licence.
- Tribunal cited a strong public interest in denying Jenkinson a gun licence despite no evidence of violence.
- "Sovereignty is the way I choose to live" and he dissociated from some associates, tribunal heard.
- Jenkinson was questioned about a homemade licence plate bearing the inscription CPO – 01HSH.
- Jenkinson argued he was non-violent and entitled to his political beliefs in court.
- Public safety concerns outweighed individual rights in the tribunal’s ruling.
- Jenkinson had prior associations with groups linked to anti-corruption ideologies.
- Jenkinson said he had since dissociated from those views but remained a sovereign citizen.
- The decision cited a past adult caution for unlawful disposal of a firearm.
- Authorities argued sovereign citizen ideologies undermine state authority and trust.
- Jenkinson referred to a broad list of organisations in his remarks to police.
