Australian politician Bob Katter III MP has declared “anti-wanting-to-kill-crocs-out-of-fear” discrimination is on the rise, and will move a motion in federal parliament saying “it’s OK to not want to be torn apart by crocodiles”
The KAP leader said anyone who watched the news or social media could see increased attacks on on North Queenslanders who are terrified because every three months someone gets torn to pieces by crocodiles.
“It is indeed OK to be conscious of the dangers posed by an overpopulation of crocodiles. Such a simple sentence should go without saying but I suspect many members in this place would struggle to say it,” hhe told parliament.
“People have a right to be proud of their fear of crocodiles and their motivation to do something about it”
Crossbench senator Derryn Hinch savaged Katter, saying she was locked in a race to the bottom of the sewer with the Greens who think that Kangaroos are nearly extinct.
“It could have been written on a piece of toilet paper,” Senator Hinch said of the motion.
“This sort of croc-bashing is not only wrong, it could be dangerous.”
Greens leader Richard Di Natale also had a crack at former One Nation senator Anning and his new mate Katter.
“The reality is this ‘it’s OK to not want to be torn to pieces by crocodiles’ slogan has got a long history in the fishing and shooters movement where both these clowns get most of their material from” Senator Di Natale said.
