Back to topKattertonia: The Wit and Wisdom of Bob Katter (Paperback)
Description
You've seen him wearing Top Gun sunnies, bringing a billy to boil, leaning on a bunch of bananas and addressing the 'Don't Meddle with Marriage' rally.
But what's going on under that hat?
In these pages we lift the brim and uncover the words of a true-blue Aussie who shoots from the hip.
Bob Katter doesn't hold back when it comes to himself: 'There is a rage in my soul, a hatred in my soul.'
Far-north Queensland: 'It is a magic land and we could support ... a population of 80 million people in the Gulf Country alone.'
Women: 'He said that I considered women second-class citizens. If they were staying at home and not working then I would not consider them second-class; I would consider them first-class citizens.'
Environmental activists: '... not a race of people that I like in any way, shape or form.'
The information age: 'I have long since given up reading journals and newspapers and watching the television, because the flow of information is so erroneous and misleading.'
Gay rights: 'If homosexuality is a fashion statement, it is a very dangerous fashion statement ...'
The live cattle trade industry: 'They're people that love their animals, sort of.'
And that's just a taste of Kattertonia ...
