A special edition of the ABC’s 7.30 Report saw Kerry O’Brien ask Queensland independent Bob Katter what issues were on his mind.
His reply was startling: “There’s a freedom issue here, you can’t shoot or fish anywhere and the terrible problem with the deadly flying foxes, they are going to kill more people than the taipan snake do here in Australia, you can’t even boil a billy where you want.”
It’s not Katter’s politics we should be concerned about.
