'Bankers' flog notes on eBay

Queensland separatists Don Cameron and 'brother' Darryl Wheeley clearly aren't concerned about trifling matters like a ban from the banking regulator.


Queensland separatists Don Cameron and 'brother' Darryl Wheeley clearly aren't concerned about trifling matters like a ban from the banking regulator.

Last month, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority restrained the pair from calling themselves bankers and issuing fake notes from the Federal State Bank of Australia, an institution of the Brisbane-based Independent Sovereign State of Australia.

Cameron and Wheeley are now flogging the fake currency on auction website eBay in a bid for religious and political freedom from pesky lawmakers. The starting bid for a set of $10, $20 and $50 notes is US$66.50 and lucky buyers receive a certificate of authenticity with each purchase. A quantity of $5 million notes are reported to have been printed for the second series.

Cameron, who is the 'state's' attorney-general, chief justice and archbishop of the Church of Love and Peace, has a string of offences to his name. Most notoriously, he is alleged to have posed as a doctor under a false name and performed cancer surgery in 1979.
