Bob Katter statement on George Negus’ passing
The following quotes can be attributed to KAP Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter.
“George Negus interviewed me many times over the years, and some of those times were extremely hostile.”
“George earns my respect with his confrontational manner. He was never bitter or driven by ideology, but had that intellectual curiosity which is the hallmark of a good journalist. He will get a high, high place in heaven.”
“George was a good friend of the people, even right up in Far North Queensland. He emceed the funeral of my Chief of Staff’s mother in 2017, flying up, no questions asked to help the family in their time of need.”
“We remember George for his curiosity and passionate contribution to Australian and international journalism.”
“Our sympathies and prayers to George’s family and loved ones during this time.”
– Bob Katter, Kennedy MP
