An Incredible Race of People is a highly personal and at times challenging investigation of our politics and industry over many decades: heroes are applauded and pretenders dismissed, urgent issues are identified and solutions tabled. One of the country’s most controversial politicians, Bob Katter Jr urges us to consider, discuss, and act to ensure Australia’s future remains bright.
Featuring
Bob Katter
Bob Katter Jr was born 22 May 1945 in Cloncurry, Queensland. He has been the federal Member for Kennedy in Queensland since 1993, following a highly successful career in state politics where he held four ministerial positions.
Katter follows in his father’s footsteps as the Member for Kennedy, with Hon. R.C. Katter Sr. holding the seat for 24 years. Originally a National Party member for most of his parliamentary career, due to his disenchantment with economic rationality that he felt the National Party was adopting, he chose to stand as an Independent member in the 2001 federal election, where he won his seat in a landslide.
Bob is married, with children and grandchildren.
