ya know, the guy is so fucking nuts I kind of dig him. Needs more hats though. He doesn't need to look like JR Ewing, really.

Yeah, I reckon you should see how you feel about that comment in about 12 months time.

Nay, 6 months time.

about 2 months time.

next couple of weeks.

you get sarcasm, right?

he is a good talker, needs to improve his listening skills. He had this to say to Jose:
For us to give the gong to somebody and give them a blank cheque, no way, Jose!
– INDEPENDENT MP BOB ‘YOUR FORCE FROM THE NORTH’ KATTER TALKS TOUGH ON ABC LATELINE

Tony Abbott: “loves the bush” but prefers some coast involved ;
Bob Katter: “We’ve got ready access to the beach - big crocodiles and stingers”.

see, that's funny.

i reckon katter's schtick is gonna wear really thin over the next 3 years.

the perfect antidote to all the stage managed PR-speak pompadoured politicians and good for rural australia. i'm now off to go shoot some fish

over the next 3 weeks i reckon

when he does finally cave and make Abbott PM, I doubt his standing on M+N will be as lofty as it is right now.

yay finally..this thread exists.

the mad katter. ahhh

THIS is the perfect antidote to stage managed PR speak politicians

bah, he's just as image conscious and sound bite focused as the rest of them.

it's just that having it served up red-neck flavour seems a novelty.

if i had a dollar each time i've hear him say ''new paradigm'' or how ''after 12 years of tony's mob there was a farmer committing suicide every 4 weeks''...

suicide every four days i thought

HE STARTS YELLING AND SHIT. and it's a little scary. it's like the 1970s or something

sorry. you're right.

see, i've already turned off...

as everyone did in the cities.

According to the Age, he doesn't think climate change is caused by humans. He also claims that no homosexuals live in his electorate, so he is opposed to gay marriage.

AGREED! Collective action to stop offshore toture of our animals - and give Australians more jobs at the same time.

Two weeks ago he went fucking mental on QandA about the NT intervention, right in Garrett's big stupid fucking face.

Bob Katter says his new party would kill all flying foxes in urban areas to help stop the spread of the deadly Hendra virus and other diseases.

HA. Good Luck Katter

He'd personally shoot them himself.

what a fucking scumfuck

''Truly this proposition deserves to be laughed at and ridiculed. It doesn't serve any serious treatment,'' he said to cheers and thunderous applause.

isn't he a Christian, isn't this against the whole ''turn the other cheek'' - ''do unto others'' thing?

What would you expect? He threw eggs at The Beatles once. HE WAS THE EGG MAN.

''During their 1964 Australian tour, The Beatles were pelted by eggs from some unknown assailants. Katter, then a university student, later came forward and admitted his involvement, in what he explained was an ''intellectual reaction against Beatlemania.''[6]''

I find it very hard to believe Katter has an intellectual reaction to anything.

What a horrible human

I'm glad this affection for the crazy uncle is wearing off - Katter is a hateful cunt of the highest order and is in no way quaint and amusing

fkn word K2

Katter's new party name rejected

''The Electoral Commission has refused to register independent MP Bob Katter's new political party. Mr Katter says his party would be called Katter's Australian Party and be abbreviated to The Australian Party. But the commission says it received an objection on the basis that the shortened form of the name could be too easily confused with other groups that use the word Australian. It says there are too few other words in the name for people to tell which one it refers to.''

Too bloody right. Typical of him to think his values are self-evidently equivalent to Australian Values. k2 is right, just because he's midly amusing sometimes doesn't obscure the fact that he's a nasty piece of work.

*mildly amusing

A pig of a man!

Bob's half brother is gay: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-23/bob-katter27s-gay-brother-speaks-out/2852364

Sometimes the biggest cliches are the most apt.

Yep. Too true. Simple and understandable. Bob Katter is a bastard.

Gay half brother! This is fantastic. It all makes more sense now, Bob hates it so much because it's so close to home. Carl's GetUp spot. Good on him for coming out into the spotlight (pun sort of unavoidable).

Katter calls for 2% interest rate
February 6, 2012 - 4:00PM

Queensland independent MP Bob Katter has launched an attack on the Reserve Bank of Australia, saying legislative reform is needed to bring down interest rates.

Pauline eat your heart out.

Great footage on Insiders of Katter rambling on to a room full of rednecks about the merits of being able to shoot as many animals as he bloody well likes.
