Solange ‘Soli’ Ellen Goodes faces court for role in Sandy Creek siege

A woman arrested over a siege near Gawler said she told police they might get shot – now she says she wants them to attend her own “sovereign court”.

A woman arrested for her alleged part in a high-risk standoff near Gawler said she told police they were at risk of being shot – but says she did nothing wrong.

Now, after missing court datesfor months, she wants to call police and administrators to her own “sovereign court” to face “real justice”.

Solange “Soli” Ellen Goodes, 42, was charged in September with threats to cause harm, assaulting a prescribed emergency worker and hindering police over the standoff at her Sandy Creek home.

On Wednesday the charges she faced had been downgraded to assault a police officer and hinder/resist police as well as driving charges laid against her in January this year when she did not stop for police when allegedly caught travelling over the speed limit.

A trial date was set for November, but Ms Goodes, flanked by supporters outside of the Elizabeth Magistrates Court, told The Messenger she would consider issuing summons to the courts and police to her own trial.

“We might get out own sovereign court formed and summons them to actually come and have some real justice,” she said.

Ms Goodes said, during the siege, she told police officers she did not respect their authority and if they were to enter the property they could be shot at.

“I was super assertive in my telling them the truth and saying ‘you have no jurisdiction here’, but that was my honest and natural response to fearing for my life in that situation,” she said.

“They were all there with guns and masks at my home first thing in the morning and I don’t know any of them.”

Following the standoff, Ms Goodes was released on bail and scheduled to appear in court but, after repeatedly missing dates, released a YouTube video saying she was under “no obligation” to appear in court.

“We ask that this court … leave us in peace now and in perpetuity,” she said.

But Ms Goodes emailed the court on Monday saying she would attend the “fraud court against my free will and under the most extreme duress”.

Outside of court, Ms Goodes repeated claims made in the video she had been targeted for being a “whistleblower” against “state-run child trafficking” and the “Luciferian fraud law satanic slave system”.

No pleas were made to any of the charges as Ms Goodes awaits the Magistrates Court trial.
