Its Trash Day: Bob Katter

Its trash Day:
Bob Katter




 Bob Katter is leader of a minor political party in Australia. He is often referred to as the Mad Katter due to his ridiculous antics. One can only assume he is left to participate in Australian politics as part of some kind of in joke. Maybe the other politicians consider him to be like a mascot or something. 
 But the joke has gotten old, the mascot is pissing on the carpet and nipping at the guests, its time to put it out to pasture.



 Just days after the horrific Orlando massacre, a terror attack in which gays were gunned down Katter has released an advertisement where he kills two people with a gun.



 This may have been less reprehensible if Katter and his party didn't have a history of blatant homophobia.



 When confronted on the issue Bob Katter claimed the advertisement was funny and that he had no idea that the largest gun massacre in America had happened. Bob Katter claims not to watch television or read newspapers, and this may indeed be true given Bob Katters utter ignorance about everything. 
 But it is difficult to believe he had contact with no one before releasing this add, that no one thought to mention that endorsing gun violence just after Orlando gay hate terrorism might not be the best idea. 



Adding insult to injury Bob Katter went on to insult anyone offended by him and his advertisement. When a reasonable person accidentally offends a group, they will be shocked at their faux pas and apologise, they will try to make amends. Bob Katters reaction to continue to lash out at the victims of the terror attacks, and those who support them, suggests to me he knew full well what he is doing, but that's just my opinion.

 

 When even National parties politicians are calling for you to resign you should know you have really gone too far.



 The options are as follows:
1. Bob Katter knew about the Orlando terror attack and released his advertisment anyway because it helped his well established homophobic agenda. If true he is a hate preacher glorifying violence, endorses terrorism and should resign, before charges are brought against him.

2. Bob Katter didn't know about the largest gun massacre in US history, he didn't know about a major gay hate crime that shocked the world.  If so he is incompetent and unfit to hold office and should resign.



  Malcolm Turnbull the current Prime Minister has now said Australia now has zero tolerance for hate preachers, but as yet there has been no legal action against Bob Katter.
