Most of the commentary about Katter today, and in general, is in the space of somehow excusing his behaviour coz he's eccentric / quirky / funny / mad etc. His behaviour isn't ok.
Indeed.

We disagree on how his dish was judged. Nothing else here, really.
Complete per his menu.

Yep. Wonder how many elections it will take for Labor/Libs to get message from electorate they aren't buying what they are selling & both need to adapt.
How arrogant for Labor to say any crossbench (validly elected) member would have to give up their policies & follow Labor policies.

Thanks. Yes. That's what it looks like from a distance.
I wasn't sure whether I was missing some of the finer, nuanced local detail and context that may offer some hope.

Yep. He doesn't need my money and I won't give it to him. Long standing pre-COVID issues with attitudes.

You seem to think folk voted Labor coz of the past. Maybe they did. Some voted Labor to try & protect future from conservative, right wing govt that may lead to some kind of the crazy going on in world. Suggest you dial it back & be kind to folk who respond. Folk can vote as they like. Democracy.

Ah yes, a little too far for a weekend train trip. And why fly when train travel is so good in Europe!

Parliament should pass truth in political advertising laws when we sit next week and ban deepfakes in election campaigns.
The govt has a bill sitting there, they should bring on a vote.

Yes. COVID? what's that. (Kidding but it seems to have dropped off radar for sure). Absolutely defer to you for analysis on possible issues.
I heard on radio a pitch for folk to get flu shots now as season started already. May be a factor.
And US folk / visitors bringing in all manner of problems

In a wealthy country like 🇦🇺 our most vulnerable shouldn’t be living below the poverty line.
I look forward to the release of the next independent expert committee report being released tmrw & call on govt to ⬆️ safety net in the budget.

Northern Rivers NSW SES says buses are now available to pick up evacuees at four bus stops in Lismore every 30 mins.
The buses will go from the Lismore area to the Southern Cross Uni evacuation centre.
SES says these buses will pivot to higher frequency if passenger demand is higher than expected
