An indigenous man who renounced his Australian citizenship to head a self-declared sovereign nation has been remanded in custody after refusing to acknowledge his former name.
Murrumu Walubara Yidindji - formerly press gallery journalist Jeremy Geia - was charged in May after police caught him using number plates and a licence issued by the Yidinji government, which he created.
When asked whether he was the man known as Jeremy Geia at Cairns local court on Monday, he replied: "I am Murrumu in the appropriate persona".
