I’ve never met Bob Katter and I’ve barely written about him.

So I was surprised when checking my September weblogs that the colourful North Queensland Independent MP – one of three independents who currently hold the future of the Australian Government in their hands – is by far this month’s number one search phrase for visitors arriving at this blog. He’s way ahead, outdoing luminaries such as Kaiser Wilhelm and Julia Gillard and much higher even than the delectable Julie Christie.

Bob Katter: hatless in Canberra

Right now, Bob Katter is defintely ‘the man’, as the Irish say. Like Bob Oakshott and Tony Windsor, the other two independents yet to declare their hand, he appears to be playing political poker with considerable skill.

Some journalists, especially nasty types in News Corp, thumped their feet on the ground in the days following the inconclusive August 21st election, demanding a rapid decision from politicians holding the balance of power. The loss of their own political influence to a handful of well-respected, very independent politicians was probably not to their liking. Realising in the end screeching is just as likely to be counter-productive, most of them have quietened down. Today it’s almost eerie. Journalistic chatter has subsided. It’s like the hush before a showing of cards.

Meanwhile, Kaiser Wilhelm rests in peace. Bart and Marge continue to fascinate the sexually curious. Benjamin Yahoo remains Prime Minister of Rothschildistan.

And after 24 years, whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu is still not free.

Exclusive new ‘Leak of the Week’ special

Julia Gillard blames Kevin Rudd for a policy designed by “fools, crims and spooks”, according to a source located somewhere in far north Queensland.

Julia Gillard with Cairns blogger Michael Moore: new talent?

Referring to Senator Conroy’s ‘mandatory internet censorship scheme’, Ms Gillard is clearly furious she’s has been set up by “very silly boys” in the Rudd Government.

Julia Gillard & MP Jim Turnour: who's leaking?

My source informs me Gillard knows full well she has to fix this mess before the election – and that the crucial Communications Portfolio must be run by a competent woman if she wins.

“It’s no job for a boy!” the exasperated Gillard is rumoured to have murmured.

In a rare moment of candour, while appearing to relax in tropical foliage surrounded by birdsong and noisy frog mating calls, the new Prime Minister hinted she knows what deep trouble Labor has got itself into over the widely reviled and creepy ‘mandatory internet filter’ policy.

But in a senational new revelation, my source suggests Gillard is still trying to find the testicular fortitude to stand up to the Zionist Lobby, ASIO and powerful mass media interests, all of whom have long regarded the ALP leadership as compliant poodles.

A recent SMH internet censorship opinion poll: Rudd's psephologists told him not to worry

Apparently the Prime Minister is aware the public won’t stand for internet censorship – but since her office, all her phone calls and the ALP HQ are bugged by at least five ‘intelligence agencies’, she has no idea where to find a trustworthy spin-doctor to draft a credible back-flip speech.

This may explain the PM’s sudden interest in the Cairns region blogosphere, where it’s widely believed not all the key protagnosists are bought-and-paid-for agents of the kleptocracy.
