Bob Katter at Canberra Airport 24/8/2010

[bigbadnewman]

Bob has shown he's a TRUE independent and not a stalking horse for the Liberals.

[Dutchy1965]

the bigger the hat - the bigger the idiot.....he's got the biggest hat I've ever seen

[swiftyXify]

at first i thought this guy was a complete idiot but now i dont think hes all that bad, makes some good points and is funny as

[reesa33]

ON YA BOB! good to see a politician representing the opinion and needs of the people who vote him in, a VERY rare quality in the politicians of today!

[immortalwillie]

he will get my vote thru and thru ..... he,s straighter than Labors Union corruption and mismanagement

[sapientersisincere]

i love him

[Rafdaganga]

although I adore him. He's mathematically challenged.

"I've told you 400 times, so for the 400th time"

you can't repeat the 400th time twice.

[gazket]

bloody great . Always liked Bob.

[aarontsmall1975]

Git up'm, gar'n git'rnd,gar'n sool'em Bob

[1arryboy]

[stewart0312]

This guy is true blue. He recognises the media is crooked

[MrRomanstefan]

no such thing as free market you lying bean counters

[Nebelwerfer89]

1:29 hahaha '' quiet please, you had your chance ! ''

[Nebelwerfer89]

Why does bob katter sound like he is going to cry when he talks ?

[Individualism101]

@Nebelwerfer89 Lost his voice from too much blasting I think.

[stewart0312]

@Nebelwerfer89 Do you prefer emotionless robot like Gillard and Abbott?

[ihaveairlockers]

@Nebelwerfer89

It's called passion and caring.

He's a man of action, not a party-line panderer. And he does what's right and speaks his mind. Just a pity more "professional politicians" aren't like him, OZ would be a better country and still have an identity both in the city and the bush.

Every person needs a farmer !

Where does your milk and bread come from ?

"if you stand for nothing you will fall for anything"

[the330driver]

On ya Bob, totally support your stance for rural Australia!

[aussiescottyf1]

bob katter the 'mad hatter'. We are in trouble if this clown has any say

[wj07]

It's a fair question ALP or Coalition? Side with the ALP and you will be gone.

[attilamerryweather]

@wj07 Pfft.

[gregrudd]

@wj07

Nice to see that you are still welded to the two party system. Fact is that both the bush and the cities have been sold out by the Coalition and the ALP respectively in their worship for the free market. (You know that giant sucking sound of jobs going overseas) I see Bob is more of an agrarian than then anything else. And should be doing deals with who ever is going to further the cause that he represents. This is how politics is done in mainland Europe.

[wj07]

@gregrudd Thanks foir the response. The free market is simply not welfare like you are suggesting. This is why Europe (Greece, Spain, France etc) are in free fall. I'm not sure how many jobs are os since we have almost full employment.

Mr Katter panders to the gullible and now it is crunch time for him to make a decision.

I notice the cane gowers don't want Mr Katter's policies because they are efficient (not on welfare) and don't want to jepodise their sugar sales.

Tariffs = welfare.

[attilamerryweather]

@wj07 Yep, a bit like how the US economy has been performing so swimmingly after 30 years of tariff reduction.

I haven't heard Katter talk about the sugar industry nearly as much as dairy deregulation, I'm not sure the hinterland farmers who are getting less per litre of milk than what it costs them to produce it are singing the same paeans to the hidden hand.

[aarontsmall1975]

@wj07 Katter doesn't pander to the gullible, He is ONLY interested in His Electorate, they are the only people who matter to Him - that is what the democratic process is about. If more people actually tried to get things done for their electorate and pandered less to Political Power Brokers, He wouldn't have so much say right now. Think about it.

[HENJAM48]

@wj07 I vote Labor, but I respect Bob Because he is one of the Few Pollies who works for his electorate. He IS North Queensland. He knows & listens to Everyone and they respect him. All TRUST him. Southern Politics don't count. He will Drive 500 klms to discuss whatever is dear to them, NOT him. When Gillard is Ambassador to Wales, and Abbott finally makes the cover of Gay-Lifesaver Weekly, Bob will still be there; sitting on the Rail of a Roundyard in Camooweal listening to his people.

[HENJAM48]

@HENJAM48 BTW.. I vote on basic party Philosophy.

[ihaveairlockers]

@HENJAM48

Thanks for a great comment. Well said. Cheers !

[bigbadnewman]

@HENJAM48 Well said, mate. I'm an old union man and I support Bob Katter. He's the ONLY politician who'll look after the regular folk and not pander to big business or the leftist elites.

[DuketonRoberts]

@wj07 Spot on. He's just being a wanker.

[Rari98]

BOB KATTER FOR PRIME MINISTER

[rabjambo]

I don't agree with everything he says, but I like him. :)

[HENJAM48]

@rabjambo Zactly.. And by like, I take it you mean respect.

[rabjambo]

@HENJAM48

I agree with your sentiments.

He's a man of principle, and I do respect that. I also vote labour, but this guy is a good guy, no matter where he lies on the political spectrum.

[slowerthanjordans]

WHAT A HERO! He just tells it like it is! Now we're probably gonna see a media attack against him

[HENJAM48]

@slowerthanjordans They wouldn't dare. He is a formidable interviewee.
