Bob Katter Says If You Want His Opinion On An Indigenous Voice, Well The Fact Of The Matter Is That It’s Not Likely We’ll Ever See Anything Quite Like Christine Anu Ever Again I Mean Wasn’t She Just Spectacular? And Look I Know That’s A Pretty Crowded Field, Namely The Likes Of Lionel Rose, Jessica Mauboy, Seaman Dan, Shakaya And Of Course Dan Sultan But If I’m Honest There Was Just Something So Electrifying About That Torres Strait Islander Girl On Stage At The 2000 Olympics Closing Ceremony Belting Out ‘My Island Home’ It Really Was Just The Right Time, Right Place And There Was A Static Atmosphere Off The Back Off Her Fellow North Queensland Sister Cathy Freeman Winning Gold With Both Flags Over Her Shoulders Look It Was 22 Years Ago And I Remember It Like It Was Yesterday, I Was Lucky Enough To Be There In Homebush Watching Actually, It Was A Moment So Special That I Momentarily Forgot Those Bastards From The IOC Had Sat Me Next To That Treasonous Free-Marketeer Paul Keating Who Most Probably Thought The Song Was Dedicated To Him Because He Visited Redfern Once And No I Didn’t Come Down In The Last Shower I Am Well Aware That Christine’s ARIA-Nominated 1995 Single Was Actually A Cover Of The Warumpi Band But Ya See, And Not Many People Know This, She Actually Started Her Career As A Back Up Singer For Neil Murray, Who Was A White Boy That Co-Wrote That Song With His Black Brothers From The Top End, And That’s What Makes This Indigenous Voice So Special Because This Is What’s It’s All About At The End Of The Day, Getting To Blackfellas Share Knowledge And Insights With Whitefellas, And Then Creating A System Where We Can Pass It On To The Next Generation Of All Colours, Because That’s Where The Magic Happens, That’s When We See Results And That’s When We Fill Stadiums Of Crying Patriots Who Are Equipped To Interrogate Our Complicated History And Heal As One… But As For Albanese’s Referendum, I’m Not Sure How I’ll Be Voting Yet

Katter Says He Was Completely Unaware That Anybody Had Problem With The Melbourne Cup Unless It’s Some Sort Of Intellectual Reaction To The Snobby Attitudes Of Those Patch-On-Elbow Blue Bloods At Victorian Racing I Mean It’s No Wonder These Kiwi And Arab Horses Keep Winning The Bloody Thing When There’s No Active Push To Include Homegrown Horses I Mean If You Wanna See A Real Race You Should You Head To The Windorah Gymkhana Out There In The Barcoo, Mind You She Was Lucky To Get A Start This Year Due To This Unseasonal Downfall That Always Makes It A Bit Dangerous To Be Riding Rank Station Ponies At Full Pelt In A Pair Of RMs and Molekskin Trousers, I Always Remember The First Time My Boy Robbie Tried To Jump In The Saddle For The Trot-Canter-Gallop Event When He Was A Young Fella, You See He’d Borrowed This Mare From My Mate Bucktooth Toovey Out The Back Of Isisford Anyway He’s Halfway Through This Race And Looking Alright Actually, About To Change Gears For The Sprint Until This Sand Goanna Comes Out Of Nowhere And Spooks The Poor Thing To High Heavens, My Son Robbie, Fresh From The Cowboys Young Guns Squad, After Getting Dropped For Playing Like A Girl Just Quietly, Gets Thrown Like A Cannonball Into A Crowd Of Rum-Swilling Ringers Who’d Come To Town For A Look, Well That’s What I Thought Anyway, Turns Out A Few Of Them Were What You’d Describe As Motorcycle Enthusiasts, The Type Of Blokes You’d Rather Miss And Land On A Cactus, Now Robbie Knew As Well As I Do That As A Cleanskin Politician His Old Man Can’t Be Getting Involved In Any Disputes With These Kind Of Outlaws, So I Sent In A Couple Of Brophy’s Tent Boxers Who Were Making Light Work Out Of The Shandy Bar Round The Corner, These Blokes Come Steaming Through Like The Burgess Brothers And By Joh You Shoulda Seen The Blue The Boys Put On, I Mean I Shouldn’t Laugh, But We Definitely Still Do Behind Closed Doors Over Christmas, I Had To Make A Lot Of Election Promises To Soothe Things Over With The Committee After That One But The Locals Still Reckon Those Tickets Were The Best Money Ever Spent
