Bob Katter, 80, unveiled a portrait at Parliament House, reaffirming his active political role despite retirement rumors.
Bob Katter, the 80-year-old Queensland MP with a five-decade political career, had an official portrait unveiled at Parliament House in Canberra, marking a milestone since his 1974 entry into politics.
Despite the ceremonial occasion, Katter dismissed retirement rumors, stating he still works 80 hours a week.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised the portrait by artist David Darcy, humorously noting the challenge of capturing Katter’s restless nature.
Katter, known for his confrontational style, defended his combative persona, referencing a recent incident where he threatened a reporter over heritage questions, and recalled a phone call with Albanese where he was called a derogatory term 13 times.
Former colleague Barnaby Joyce joined him, joking about their differing political paths.
The portrait now stands as a symbol of Katter’s enduring, unapologetic presence in Australian politics.
