“Not now, you banana bender! The Commencement Speech takes place at the dinner tonight.”
“Banana bender! I'm not from Queenland, I'll ‘ave you know. And I needs to test out the mike in advance. Always have trouble with those things.”

2003, Rosemary Patterson, Journey Great Barrier Reef: An Adventure Novel Set in Australia, page 17:

If Billy Lane hadn't given him such a firm handshake, Henry reckons he'd be wondering if all the Banana-benders shook like a girl.

2007, Pip Wilson, Faces in the Street: Louisa and Henry Lawson and the Castlereagh Street Push, page 137:

In comparison with other Australians, they were considered an odder sort of people – the banana-benders of Banana-land – a heat-stroked and skin-cancered people, dogged, ‘unimaginably tough and undeniably brittle’.

2007, Raymond Evans, A History of Queensland, page 219:

Terry nodded. “Yes, you don't have too many cars to contend with here, and we banana benders are rather courteous, especially once we realize you're a tourist. Just be careful on the curves, especially where the road goes along the bluffs.”

2011, Reynold Conger, Chased Across Australia, page 180:

(Australia, humorous) An inhabitant of Queensland.

From Queensland + -er (suffix attached to placename proper nouns denoting inhabitants or residents of those places).

"An' what about your Queenslander?" the Australian asked.

1926, Rudyard Kipling, “A Friend of the Family”, in Debits and Credits, Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, Page & Company, →OCLC, page 268:

In view of the rapid development of Queensland, our prosperity and our major contribution to the nation and to world trade, I believe it is significant that a Queenslander should be honoured with such a high position in Rotary.

1977, Joh[annes] Bjelke-Petersen, “Messages to the Convention and to the President, Incoming President, and President-Elect of Rotary International”, in 1977 Proceedings: Sixty-eighth Annual Convention of Rotary International: San Francisco, California, U.S.A.: 5–9 June, 1977, [Evanston, Ill.]: Rotary International, →OCLC, page 198:

In reality the selectors' decision was between [Rod] Marsh and John Maclean and the Queenslander got the nod.

2004, Mark Browning, Rod Marsh: A Life in Cricket, Dural, N.S.W.: Rosenberg Publishing, →ISBN:

Takada had the added advantage of being a Queenslander, although from the other end of the state. But to a native north Queenslander, that was better than being from Melbourne.
