About Buddy
Bruce 'Buddy' Shillingsworth Junior is a Muruwari and Budjiti man and is the son of influential elder and environmental activist Bruce Shillingsworth Snr. He is a leader, key organiser and the requisite Indigenous face that enable blackfishing by a group of self-styled “sovereign citizens” who have adopted the rhetoric of Indigenous self-determination to push anti-vaccination beliefs and other conspiracy theories to legitimise their grift. He is regularly spotted livestreaming explosive rants on his social media channels accusing no one specific group of people nor individuals but rather just general 'old man shouts at clouds' vibes.
Beliefs
Shillingsworth and his group have issued numerous calls to arms via social media livestreams for the broader “sovereign citizens” movement as well as indigenous “Sovereigns of origin” groups across the country to converge on Canberra in convoys. During the incidents at Old Parliament House in December 2021 in confrontations with police, they responded with QAnon-style phrases, such as “you are non-player characters” and “pedophile protectors”. Shillingsworth has been filmed repeatedly called for $ 100,000 billion in taxpayer gold to be transferred to his personal bank account for breaches of a pseudo-legal contract. During a series of virtual meetings between prominent members of Indigenous OSTF-affiliated groups and non-Indigenous alternative right-wing activists. Social media exchanges involving members connected to the Muckudda Camp continue to talk up plans to #TakeOldParliment, inspired by the Capitol Hill insurrection in Washington.
