Current Libs a 'pit of snakes': Katter

Federal MP Bob Katter says the Liberal party should be more focused on governing Australia than jostling for senior positions.

Federal MP Bob Katter has likened the Liberal Party to a "pit of snakes" as fresh leadership speculation mounts.

"If you've got no belief system and what you've got is a pit of snakes, that's all you've got," he told the Nine Network.

"Everyone wants to be leader, everyone wants to be in the ministry.

"It would be really nice if the LNP put some people in government who are interested in governing the country, instead of being interested in getting promoted into a ministry or from the ministry into leadership positions."

Mr Katter will push his private member's bill to overhaul food labelling on Monday, after the imported frozen berry hepatitis A outbreak.
