Almost 1000 items collected by Queensland Health fraudster Joel Morehu
The disgraced former highflying socialite's personal treasure trove also includes designer clothing, jewellery, furniture, alcohol, art and collectables.
Hohepa Hikairo "Joel" MorehuBarlow, 36, is set to plead guilty and be sentenced in Brisbane District Court on March 19 for defrauding the State Government of more than $16 million while working as a middle manager for Queensland Health. He had explained his lavish lifestyle by claiming to be a Tahitian prince.
The auction for the Public Trustee of Queensland on March 10 is expected to raise more than $300,[url=http://www.sport.fr/business/louisvuitton.html]louis vuitton femmes[/url],000, with most items unreserved and many expected to sell for bargain prices.

The most valuable item up for grabs is a new $95,000 Bang and Olufsen television, which the auctioneers expect to sell for $15,000 to $20,000.
A Hermes saddle valued at up to $10,000 could go for around $2000.
There is also a bottle of French cognac valued at $25,000, a sixlitre bottle of Dom Perignon, a $15,000 Breitling watch and Ping golf clubs. There also are paintings by Brett Whiteley, John Olsen and Arthur Boyd.
John D'Agata, head of jewellery at Leonard Joel, which is conducting the auction with Brisbane's Antique and Fine Art Auctions at Woolloongabba, described the collection as "eclectic and quite extravagant".
A central theme is hundreds of Louis Vuitton items, including a surfboard, golf club bag, blowup travel pillow and eye mask, luggage, scarves, ties and suits.
"It's sort of like someone got really carried away and liked one Louis Vuitton item and bought the whole range," Mr D'Agata said.
"I also think he went through a guilt phase because there are about 50 strands of rosary beads."
MorehuBarlow also had a 19th century naval hat and a silver statue of Chairman Mao.
The public can view the MorehuBarlow collection at Antique and Fine Art Auctions in Logan Rd, Woolloongabba on March 7, 8 and 9.
Phone bids will be accepted for items over $1000.
The Public Trustee has been busily disposing of MorehuBarlow's assets in recent months.
Several luxury cars have been sold, along with the twostorey riverfront New Farm apartment that MorehuBarlow paid $5.65 million for in 2010.
A separate auction of his two most valuable paintings Jeffrey Smart's Study for the Terrace, Variations on a Theme and Tim Storrier's Starlight over the plain (night coals) will be held at Melbourne's Deutscher and Hackett on April 24.
