Katter refuses gay marriage question

Queensland MP Bob Katter lost his cool on daytime television this morning when asked about his views on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

Speaking on Channel Ten’s The Circle, Katter refused to answer questions about the topic.

“The honest answer is I don’t think about [issues around homosexuality] at all,” Katter said.

“Never have, never likely to in the future.”

The outspoken MP claimed in his 39 years in public office, only one person had raised the issue with him. Despite efforts by The Circle hosts to raise the issue, Katter refused to engage.

  1. C’mon everyone’s entitled to their point of view. Instead of attacking let’s just sit back and watch the view of the far right on marriage equality die their eventual inevitable death. That’s worked in the past i.e. with womans suffrage and Aboriginal rights, so why won’t it work now?

  2. I’m not sure how many of us watched Q&A from Q’land last Monday? But for those who didn’t the state is full of Katter’s go and check out the questions they asked on ABC Iview. There was one very brave gay guy asked a question for all of us and good on him for doing it.

  3. i sincerely doubt only 1 person has ever brought up any issue about homosexuality with him. and i shudder to think how he would’ve responded to that supposed 1 person when they did.

  4. Bob Katter is a bit nuts, but all this “gay marriage” debate must be driving him even nutter, the media has been trying to force same sex marriage down our throats for a while. Now the Sunrise show is on the same sex marriage band wagon.
    Same sex marriage is NOT normal and will lead the debate about legalizing incest and petrosexuality.

  5. Bob Katter, the MAD HATTER. He represents everything that is wrong with Australia. A simple minded bigot, certainly no intellectual.

  6. If he didnt want to talk about it, thats ok, they shouldve just moved on, end of story or stopped his interview and cut to an infomercial. Also, was that an attempt by him at stand up comedy? He cant talk properly and gives no eye contact.

  7. What a embracement to have such a waist of time sitting in our parliament. But I am sure, the karma Train will come and pick him up one day soon.

  8. Katter is clearly more worried that there is not a hat named after him than whether marriage law in Australia should treat all Australians equally without regard to gender/sexuality. The sheer effrontery of this loopy bumpkin declaring anyone else a “brainless halfwit”! Unbelievable.

  9. Im sorry but all I can say that Bob Katter is an ignorant and arrogant piece of crap!

  10. What a douche. Even if he wasn’t interested he could have been more diplomatic than this.

  11. What on earth was he talking about in response to Yumi’s question? I am flummoxed! Franco? Huh? And then stopped the “Jap” at Kakoda? I love his comments on Mabo though. And then the waffle bout gay people? I reckon many people have questioned him on his views, but he has just ignored it! When the topic went off his track, he just shouts down and tries to divert the question onto farmers? What? He has just prooved to a large number of viewers that he his mad and narrow minded on the topic of equality. He may as well have stuck his fingers in his ears going “lalalalalala, can’t hear you!”
