"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

Our Mad Hatter

Ah, we all love Bob Katter,
Our resident Mad Hatter,
The egg-throwing Beetlemania hater,
Who doesn't like us importing bananas into Australia.

We don't actually know what he looks like,
Under that bloody big Acubra
And to climate change he's just saying,
'I hope you got a big umbrella'.

He's all for the farmers,
He probably has cattle printed on his pyjamas.
He says that there are no gays in his electorate,
There probably are,
But under his hat he probably just can't see it.

Do you know what the sad thing is,
About this big bad mad Hatter?
That there are so many more of them,
Who are just like Bob Katter.

The funny part was the last verse.

"It's funny because it's true" - that there are so many like Katter, in politics and out.

But, no, you couldn't replicate that madness and clone it.
