Katter gets new recruit

FORMER One Nation senator Fraser Anning has announced he is joining maverick Queensland MP Bob Katter’s political party.

Senator Anning cut himself loose from Pauline Hanson’s party to sit as an independent on the Senate crossbench in November.

He replaced Malcolm Roberts in the Senate after he was caught up in the dual citizenship saga.

Mr Katter and Senator Anning have been friends for 40 years. The pair have much in common, including owning cattle stations and having pictures of the late former Queensland premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen on their walls.
