Here is the naturalisation form of #CarlyleAssadKhittar - #BobKatter's Grandfather. After rejection of 1st attempt due to the #WhiteAustraliaPolicy he anglicised his name & changed residence from #Assyria to #Turkey #BobKhittar #AUSPOL #Katter #Katters #KAP #CarlKatter #Racism #MarchForAustralia

Interestingly, one of the early naturalisations after the Act of 1903.

Again, so what if he has Lebanese heritage. My grandparents were also naturalised ex Italian citizens, from part of Sicily- and I’m proud of my heritage.

Bob Katter will punch you in the face if you mention his heritage.... because somehow it's ... racist? My guess is he sees himself as a white Australian and any challenge to that he finds abhorrent.... because maybe he's a little .... racist??
