In the latest instalment of our Forget the Frontbench series, columnist Rachel Withers lands an impromptu interview with Bob Katter. It begins with being invited to pull up a chair at Katter’s pub dinner with Monique Ryan, and ends with a lift home in his Comcar. Throughout, Withers searches for the answer to one question: after almost 50 years in politics, what keeps Katter in it?
Withers’ profile — which you should read here, if you haven’t already — is a wildly entertaining insight into how Katter views Australian politics, and his role in it.
