Good thing katter has a clean slate and definitely never did anything crazy or attention seeking.
Comment on Bob Katter refuses to swear oath to King Charles
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 3 weeks agoiirc she was acting like a massive twat during the whole thing, then she twated about with the King
and then she said proudly that she said the oath wrong and then it became an issue
and this was after she had thrown herself down in front of the police at a pride festival and had gotten into a fight outside a pub
all in all, she was an attention seeking twat and got what she wanted…and then iirc in the end nothing happened same as katter

I think you’re forgetting how uniquely annoying she was being at the time, she quit the greens because she was voting no for the voice (now who’s the racist?) and relationship with biker gang ex-leader, never ending drama

Oh, did she also try to weaken gun laws so her son-in-law could import automatic shotguns? How about suggesting that we conscript 13 year old and give them all guns? Maybe run a campaign ad that depicted her shooting rival politicians dead? I’m not a fan of Lidia Thorpe, but I think you’re missing the point that the media routinely portrays Katters “antics” as that kooky old guy, but actively demonises Thorpe. They’re both bloody annoying and crazy, there’s just a narrative being pushed.

he’s been in parliament for like 50 years, she’d been in for like 1
if he acted like she did he also would have been blasted, same as bananaby joyce when he was the class nutter for a bit, same as pauline hanson when she was the class nutter for a while
you can posit some conspiracy theory or from my experience crazy politicians who do a lot of crazy things in a short time period will draw attention (just like how we’re talking about katter now)

What a legend.
Oh no a First Nations woman is protesting incorrectly. Call the protest police before somebody gets upset. Oh, oops too late.
You know you come off sounding like a misogynist twat when you use the language of misogynist twats right?

Could be worse, could come off sounding like Lidia Thorpe by thinking everything is racism and/or sexism.

I don’t mind knowing lots of shit is racist and sexist instead of hating on a First Nations woman all the time.
