Air date: Apr 14, 2025

Bob Katter is about to turn 80, an age when most people are long retired. But the maverick Queensland MP — a colourful character in state and federal parliaments for 50 years — now finds himself in the spotlight once again. Not only is he getting the rare honour of an official portrait, Katter is a key crossbencher whose support may be pivotal in the event of a hung parliament. Australian Story secured unprecedented access to Bob Katter filming him in Canberra with his exasperated staffers, across his sprawling electorate where the TikTok sensation is mobbed by young fans, and at home with his long-suffering wife.
