Bob Katter: Targeting a demographic (literally)

If you've ever wondered whether Bob Katter could kill two people in the Outback, you'll find the answer in his latest campaign video.

And that answer is yes: hella yes.

In what must be one of the more poorly timed weeks to release a election ad featuring both a) guns and b) violence, the Queensland MP dropped the video online with the accompanying tweet: "Perhaps the most wicked campaign ad for 2016?"

Somehow we feel that is not a rhetorical question.

With a lower budget than the latest season of Neighbours, the 30 second clip begins with two men in 'ALP' and 'LNP' shirts wedging an 'Australian For Sale' sign into the soil on a rural property.

Cut to Katter scribbling the word 'NOT' over the top of the sign and an eerie shot of him holding a smoking pistol as he smiles slowly at the camera.

That scene is made all the more disturbing when the next frame reveals the two dead bodies of the men pictured earlier in the ad. And the Oscar goes to ...

Weird as it is, it's just the latest in a long line of obtuse and vaguely terrifying ads from the Katter camp.

Famously his Your Force From The North campaign was just as strange and featured the MP pumping iron in the gym and wrangling cattle.
