Federal member of Parliament Bob Katter has strong views on most things and chats to Mike Ryan about Politics, The Bush, Water, The Bradfield Scheme and funny things like tree climbing cattle. Katter’s Australian Party founder and Federal Member for Kennedy, Hon. Bob Katter, is Australia’s second-longest serving Member of Parliament. Bob Katter has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1993. He was a member of the National Party until 2001, when he left to sit as an independent. Bob formed his own party, Katter's Australian Party in 2011 and has been elected twice for his own party. Bob Katter was born in Cloncurry, Queensland. His father, Bob Katter Sr., was also a politician. Bob Katter was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly at the 1974 state election, representing the seat of Flinders. He was elevated to cabinet in 1983, under Joh Bjelke-Petersen, and served as a government minister until the National Party's defeat at the 1989 state election. Bob Katter left state politics in 1992, and the following year was elected to federal parliament standing in the Division of Kennedy (his father's old seat). Bob's son, Robbie Katter, is a state MP in Queensland, the third generation of the family to serve in parliament.
