Katter calls the treatment of Jewish people in Australia “shameful”
December 11, 2024
FEDERAL MP Bob Katter condemns the federal government for issuing a warning against incoming Jewish travellers (effectively banning their travel to Australia) while still allowing thousands of Middle Eastern protagonists to freely enter our country.
Mr Katter believes the travel advisory is the result of the government's apathetic attitude and lack of action against growing violence toward Jewish people in Australia.
"The decision by the federal government is exactly the same position taken by the Nazi Party in 1936 in Germany," Mr Katter explained.
"They were outrageously antisemitic and I'm beginning to believe the ALP in Australia is shot to pieces with antisemitism."
Mr Katter believes the recent firebomb attack on a Melbourne synagogue and destruction in Sydney overnight is the culmination of years of unaddressed racism and careless immigration policy.
"Various groups in Australia are cowardly bowing the knee to certain people who have come from the Middle East and don't intend to ever become Australians – and actually believe that Australians should become them.
"There are certain people from the Middle East that are extremely dangerous. They come from countries with no democracy, no rule of law, no egalitarian traditions, no Judeo-Christian values, and no appetite to assimilate into the Australian way of life.
"I was personally confronted by one of these people when I was in Melbourne recently.
"And instead of banning them from Australia – the kind of people who scream out the front of the opera house, saying "gas the Jews" – the government has invited them in.
"The Liberal Party – to their eternal shame – brought a million of these people to Australia. Some are good people, but a lot of them are not.
"What got into the head of the Liberal Party, I do not know, but it most certainly won't change under Labor, who this very week has made a threat of antisemitic action. They are warning people of the Jewish faith not to come to Australia.
"What a shameful, shameful thing to happen.
"It is the duty of every patriotic Australian to stand up for the underdog, this poor group of people who have been persecuted throughout most of history."

Today the Federal Government has given an extra $10 million to finalise works at Cloncurry Airport following significant flood damage in late 2025 and early 2026. Huge congratulations must go to Mayor Greg Campbell, Cloncurry Council and all those who have fought hard to achieve this outcome. The proposed works will ensure the long-term operation of this vital transport hub to continue to support aeromedical services, business travel, tourism and mining operations.
If all government cars were hybrids. If our sugar and grain was converted to ethanol. If our oil was refined in Australia. WE WOULD BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN FUEL. This would save EVERY Australian taxpayer $40,000 a year, create hundreds of jobs and resurrect our sugar and grain industries. The answers are there… government just needs to act!

I couldn’t sleep last night.. praying for my good and long term friend Helen. Helen brings sparkle, enlightenment and joy to the centre of the crossbench. My thoughts are also with your family, friends and staff at this extremely difficult time. May Jesus keep you all in his blessings. Bob Katter
Last weeks parliamentary debate raised some key concerns about the state and direction of the country. Bob’s take is detailed in his latest podcast and includes: Carbon Credits (Integrity and Transparency) Legislation – hidden under the guise of ‘transparency’ and ‘integrity’ this legislation WIDELY EXPANDS Native Title consent requirements, openly acknowledging that it will essentially kill off nearly all small/medium size mining and infrastructure projects with extended project delays and costs. Customs (Illicit Tabacco) Legislation – stronger enforcement and penalties is useless against organized crime unless we also stop demand by narrowing the VAST gap between legal and illegal tobacco products and take away the economic incentives fueling the black market. Backpackers vs Student Visas - meetings at the highest level arguing that backpackers are here for a good time not a long time, they must be from certain countries and under the age of 30, they spend monies earnt and go home. Student visa holders have NO country restrictions and NO age limits, family dependents are also allowed and about 90% stay with the hope of migrating. Protect Aussie produce – continuing the fight to stop fresh food imports from countries with slave labour wages and child labour in the supply chain - a game changer for the banana, pineapple and other tropical fruit industries.
Not so long ago a flight to Tel Aviv experienced an attempted terrorist attack. The heroic actions of those on the plane averted what very nearly was a great tragedy with the almost certain deaths of all 180 occupants in the plane. As the background of the would be terrorist is being investigated serious allegations have been made that he was radicalised IN AUSTRALIA whilst he was an INTERNATIONAL STUDENT!!! Where are the rallies in the street? Where is the outrage in the media? Where are the strong political statements of condemnation ? Where is the swift action against those radicalising people in Australia? ARE WE GOING TO PRETEND THAT THIS WON’T EVER HAPPEN IN AUSTRALIA?
Australian rural industries will keep shutting down if we keep on allowing government to: Import fruit and vegetables; Require our farmers to compete against imports from countries with slave labour wages; and Impose more and more red, green and ‘supermarket imposed’ tape on our produce. We already import nearly all of our pork and seafood… once thriving Australian industries - SHUTDOWN. STOP THIS MADNESS. Protect Australian jobs, consumers and farmers.
Always a great time with Shane Knuth MP and some local legends!
We export our oil for $8,000 million and import it back as petrol for $62,000 million. While overseas refineries get rich from our oil we are getting poorer and poorer as a nation. The impact to our economy is colossal!!! And must be stopped. BRING BACK OUR OIL REFINERIES.
