Australian rural conservative refuses to apologize for jokey video
Bob Katter has suggested he was unaware of last weekend’s massacre in Orlando when he put out a campaign video that included a mock shooting because he doesn’t watch TV or read newspapers.
The maverick independent Queensland MP hit back at the “politically correct brigade”, including Sunrise host David Koch, for describing the satirical advertisement as tasteless and crossing the line.
In the video two men, one wearing an LNP shirt, the other an ALP one, nail a sign into the ground reading “Australia For Sale”.
Katter, a bitter opponent of foreign investment in agricultural industries, takes the sign down and inserts NOT into the slogan.
The scene cuts to Katter blowing smoke from his pistol and grinning sourly; a wider shot showing the prone bodies of the two men he has apparently killed.
The footage, produced by satirical newspaper the Betoota Advocate, earned the ire of Koch, who asked Katter whether it “crosses the line” in light of Sunday’s mass shooting at a gay club in Orlando
“I thought it was screamingly funny,” Katter said, explaining the video had been shot last week before the massacre. He was apparently unaware it had happened until after the video’s release on Wednesday.

Tell the whining liberals to go climb back into their playpens with a pacifier in their mouths and sulk for the rest of the day WAAH,WAAH,WAAH they go
This is Australia not the US. Not gays were harmed or depicted being harmed in the filming of this commercial. What is the problem? Is the world getting too touchy feely because if it is then he terrorists have won. Mind you I was offended that a Greenie wasn't one of the targets.
Never forget Crocidyle Dun Dee and his Big Knife
