Katter Party More Than Happy To Recruit Independent Mackay MP Stephen Andrew To Their Ranks And Also More Than Happy To Briefly Share This Bloke’s Back Story Because In Case You Didn’t Know Mr Andrew Has Basically Been One Nation’s Only State MP For 7 Years But I Don’t Think Things Were Too Easy For Him Working Alongside That Gong Show Considering He Won The Party’s Only Queensland Seat In 2017 Which Pretty Much Kept Them Alive At A State Level Because Their Leader Steve Dickson Was Voted Out In The Same Election, You Might Remember This Tricky Dickson Bloke He Was An LNP Backbencher From Buderim Who Had A Mid Life Crisis And Jumped Ship To The Rednecks When Pauline Came Back Into Fashion During ISIS, Anyway He Did A Pretty Good Job Of Disgracing Himself And Their Movement As Best He Could By Going To America With Pauline And Trying To Get NRA Funding Through A Random Contact Nobody Had Ever Heard Of But It Looked Good Enough For The Old Redhead Who Admired His Proactivity And Made Him Party Leader Anyway It Turns Out That Dickson Had Actually Befriended An Undercover Al Jazeera Journalist Who Recorded The Entire Trip On A Secret Camera Including Some Very Colourful Conversations In A Washington DC Strip Club Where The New Party Leader Openly Spoke About His Unquenchable Desire For Oriental Sex Workers And His Lack Of Enthusiasm For White Sheilas Which Is Pretty Much A Contradiction Of The Entire Party’s Political Ideology So You’d Think After A Fuck Up That Badly He’d Be Booted And So Would The Federal Chief Of Staff James Ashby Who Was Also Implicated In This Attempt At Inviting Foreign Interference Into Our Democracy But No She Kept The Lot Of Them And Poor Old Stephen Andrew, The Only Bloke Who Had Actually Been Elected Under Their Banner, Was Forced To Take Orders From A Disgraced Political Hack Who Wasn’t Even In Parliament So You Can Imagine That Wasn’t Very Fun And I Imagine Being Both The First South Sea Islander Elected In Queensland While Also Being The First One Nation MP To Not Be As White As Ben Hannant’s Upper Thigh Wasn’t Much Fun Either You Know This Bloke Descends From The Pacific Islanders That Were Blackbirded Into Indentured Servitude On The Queensland Canefields And He’s Even Been Back To His Ancestral Home On Ambae Island Where He Was Bestowed The Chiefly Title Of Moli Duru Ambae Because Ya See That Kind Of Interesting Family Tree Isn’t That Uncommon In Sugar Cane Country I Mean Just Look At The Names Of The Other Candidates He Was Running Against There Were Two Blokes From Two Different Parties With The Same Maltese Surname It All Directly Goes Back To The Industry In The Area And Queenslanders Of All Colours Are Always Gonna Be Proud Of Our Heritage But Was That What Kept The Party’s Neo-Nazi Top Brass From Promoting Him To Leader? Well You Tell Me? It Was Stephen Andrew Up Against And Empty Chair And She Still Didn’t Give Him The Nod? Either Way The Katter Party Has Always Been Somewhat Of A League Of Nations So We Couldn’t Give Two Kissless Roots About This Man’s Ethnic Background But What We Do Like About Him Is That He’s Worked With His Hands For A Living Before Getting Into Politics And He Backs Rural Australia To The Hilt Which Is Why He’s Been Elected Twice By The Good People Of The Mirani Electorate Even As A Candidate For The Most Unpopular Political Party In The Country But It Seems That His Painful Association With Pauline Has Come To An End Because Doesn’t Have The Cash To Fund Another Election Campaign So He Quit The Party A Couple Months Ago And Was Going To Do It On His Own, Well We’ve Always Liked The Cut Of This Bloke’s Jib And We Won’t Risk Letting His Constituents Lose A Hard Working Local Member So Ladies And Gentlemen Please Let Us Introduce You To The Katter Australian Party’s Fourth MP Stephen Andrew This Means We Now Have A Bigger Presence In Queensland Parliament Than The Greens, And In October We Are Coming For Every Seat North Of Noosa
