Brett Lethbridge
Bob Katter Jnr formed Katter’s Australian Party in 2011. While no longer its leader, he is the only member of the party in federal parliament and still manages to grab the headlines. In August Katter had a heated exchange with a Channel 9 journalist who brought up his Lebanese heritage during a press conference in which Katter threw his support behind recent anti-immigration rallies.
