Today’s daily dose of Batshit Australian Politics comes courtesy of Australian Senator Bob “Gay Crocodiles” Katter (yes that one) who today picked a fight with the Australian parliament cafe, which he refused to leave until they accepted a $50 bill as payment instead of a card/tap.
Although staff at the cafe offered to just give Bob his meal for free, he refused to leave until they took the cash. The stoush was eventually settled when a manager was called in and agreed they legally have to take Bob’s money.
“Your plastic magic won’t work without electricity" Bob told the press afterwards, “and without cash you’ll starve.”
The national newswire AAP sent out the story today with this incredible line and photo attached:
Staff offered to give Mr Katter his fish for free, but he remained hungry for justice.
