Bob Katter has spent more than 40 years in state and federal parliament. He was a long serving minister in Queensland’s notorious Bjelke-Peterson government. He was one of the three independent MPs who held the fate of the Australian government in his hands during the 2010 hung parliament. Bob Katter has styled himself as one of the most colourful, opinionated, passionate and controversial members of Australian public life. His opinions are loathed by many and loved by just enough people to get him re-elected – at every single election since 1974. This conversation is jam packed with passionate opinion and intimate stories about some of our country’s most controversial and colourful characters. Bob speaks candidly about the leaders he admires and the philosophies that guide his thinking. Depending on who you listen to, Bob is either a heroic defender of Australian tradition and values – or he’s a case study in cognitive bias gone wild. You be the judge.
