Katter Brings Australian Party Chatter Show to the Big City

Bob Katter should have taught Queensland history when we were at school.
It would have been passionate, loud and abrupt, opinionated, fun, full of laughs, facts, fantasy, shouting matches, the odd anecdote or so, and it would have been something to come in through the classroom door each and every day.
Friday’s speech at the Queensland Media luncheon at the Sofitel Hotel was more of the same.
He switched the volume up on the issues important to him.
‘‘The people of Queen Street!’’ ‘‘Mining companies walking over landowners!’’
And switched down the volume down on issues - like poker machines, or coal seam gas mining - until, he said, he will say more at a later date.
Pinning the 66-year-old MP for Kennedy to an issue is like trying to herd cats, milk wild bees, or tie down a swirling billy in a coffee shop.
You know it is just not going to happen.
You know he has got it in for Coles and Woolworths. You know he hates the way Australian steel companies are going broke as they battle cheaper imports.
