    Well,.in Qld they’ree mostly uaing the legislation drafted by Bob Katter when hnwas a Bjelke-Peterson government mimater,.so there.ia that to thank him for.

    maybe the.farmer can go punch him in the face /s.in rferce.to Katter’s recent outburst when a journalist pointed out his Palestinian heritage (his last name was anglicised by his grandfather as well) reminds me of Ted Cruz in the US

    The farmer naturally, after all it’s their land and all the profits from the mining have been spent so there is no money left.
