Geia was born in Cairns in 1974 to an Aboriginal mother and Croatian Jewish father.[2] In 1999, he won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award.[3] In 2001 Geia symbolically declared the "Peoples Democratic Republic of Palm Island" independent from Australia.[4]
Geia was an NITV and SBS journalist,[5] who was part of the Canberra Press Gallery.[6] In 2012 he became the first western journalist to obtain an interview with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.[7] He left his job when he renounced Australian citizenship.
Geia was charged by police in May 2015 after being caught driving a car with a license and registration plates issued by the Yidindji government.[6]
