Driver who declared independence from society loses legal battle over unpaid parking fine

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-06/driver-loses-parking-ticket-appeal-in-supreme-court/12220574

so just how far has this self-declared "free spirit man" taken it?

does he pay taxes?

is his home getting electricity and water/sewrage?

does he pay rates?

when he shops does he demand a reduction of 10% in price as he doesnt pay GST?

the list goes on n on.

i'm all for cutting yourself off from the rest of society, as long as you go 'all the way' and become self reliant for everything.

If he is independent from society then he can stop using our roads and parking in our spaces.

Can't have your cake & eat it too.

I do hate it when all this independence is one sided.

I'm thinking that the man is (possibly) suffering some kind of mental health illness that extends into that kind of behaviour where he genuinely believes what he says about his non relationship with society as a whole is real?
