Bob Katter’s Australia Party ad slams Greens leader Bob Brown and Queensland LNP leader Campbell Newman for supporting gay marriage.
BOB Katter’s gay brother has accused the maverick MP of inciting hate against homosexuals after the Australia Party released a television advertisment questioning gay marriage.
Carl Katter, the half brother of Bob, said he was concerned about the “damage this kind of ad can do”.
“He and rabble of bigots do bother me and I worry for the people that receive the hate that is incited by such ads,” he said on Twitter.
“They a(re) using the politics of fear hate to win vote(s). They truly are desperate to use such grubby tactics!”
The advertisement, which went to air last night and has been uploaded to YouTube, targets Australian Greens leader Bob Brown and Queensland Liberal leader Campbell Newman on the issue of gay marriage.

“How well do you really know Campbell Newman?” a voice asks in the advertisement, which also shows several images of two shirtless men embracing. The picture has been blurred at chest level.
“Do you really think he will stand up for your family values? Do you really think he will stand up to the Greens and other minority groups?
“Then think again. The LNP leader supports gay marriage just like Greens leader Bob Brown.”
The commercial features repeated grabs of Mr Newman saying “I support gay marriage”.
It ends with a voiceover asking: “Is a vote for Campbell Newman a vote for gay marriage?”
The Australia Party’s Queensland leader, Aidan McLindon, says the ad is confronting and it is meant to be.
“Campbell Newman has tip-toed on this issue and tried to say ‘yes I am for gay marriage’ on one hand, but then of course he gets all the Christian lobby groups and says another,” he told the ABC.
But the commercial has sparked a backlash on social media with Bob Katter trending on Twitter with many slamming the party for being “homophobic”.
The Australian Party says it has already received hate mail and threatening phone calls over a controversial anti-gay marriage advertisement that aired on television last night.
Gay rights activist Tony Robertson told the ABC the ad was a disgrace.
“Katter is using this issue for his own political gain,” he said. “This is political opportunism at its worst in the midst of an election campaign.
“This doesn’t tell us anything about what Bob Katter and his or even Campbell Newman and his party intend to contribute to the development of this state.”
“I don’t see the purpose of these advertisements, I don’t see what they are contributing to a healthy political debate in our community,” he said.
“I think they are just a waste of money and a waste of time. If they keep running the ads they are going to lose support.”
