Jobless, friendless, broke, she volunteers as a carer on an isolated rural property. She won't be paid for looking after dementia sufferer Nell, but at least she'll have a place to stay. Bronte's host is Nell's daughter Veda, who runs spiritual rebirthing retreats. She also claims the rights of a sovereign citizen and rejects the authority of the state, refusing even to register her car. She has acquired a small but devoted following of the like-minded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre they harmless cranks, with their conspiracy theories and outrage at government overreach?
