This is disgraceful behaviour by anyone, let alone an MP. You don't get a free pass for being perceived as an eccentric old dingbat www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

He should be charged with Aggravated Assault He admitted last violent crimes to convince the journalists he was capable (he claimed to have punched many people) And the crimes he admitted to should be investigated He defines #FlagShagger It's not HIS country btw, it belongs to us all

Great that Josh Bavas held his ground, and at least one other journo backed him. Katter’s a nasty loon

"It's alright, it's only Bob, everyone knows Bob can do & say whatever he likes in amongst North & Far North Queenslanders" Trouble comes when the fool wanders south & attends Nazi gatherings He may be still among friends but he has to watch his stupid mouth & fists My member, so proud #auspol

I am first generation Aussie, born here 63 years ago. Perhaps Bob Katter needs to make clear just how many years or just how many generations make you an ‘Australian’. Ps. unacceptable for a politician to reply to any question with threats of violence.

I'm third generation, but I can't see any point in denying my Anglo/Irish 'heritage'. Which was the word used by the press guy.

Any individual who conducts themself in any engagement in a public forum, large or small, to any audience, in such a threatening, abusive manner should be discharged from their role. This moment captures the very real harm we know as customary for centuries & the ugliness of those who embody it.

He’s been getting away with it for decades and spurred on by………the media.

The 'media' can't be held responsible for electing him; his peers do. I have a (dodgy) theory that politicians of his ilk are voted for because of their amusement value to idle minds. (See Hansen, Pauline)

I don't get it. I'd be proud if I had Lebanese heritage. Bob's Dad was driving down a street once and a woman shouted "PIG!" so he shouted back "BITCH!" and then crashed into a wild boar that was lying in the road.

Am I reading this right? Katter called a journo racist because the journalist said Katter has Lebanese heritage, which he does?

Media should press charges

Wind him up and watch the fireworks. Pathetic that some will think this is an OK way to use the powers of our voting privileges

MP Bob Katter's grandfather came from Lebanon on the late 1890s & he'll punch you if he hears you say that! He's going to the anti immigration rally.

Mine came here in the 1860's and that still makes our family fresh off the boat compared to our Indigenous Aussies - which Katter is *not*

Yet another Inigo Montoya moment: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” It’s pretty clear that’s it’s the same racist in each of those interactions 🙄
