Bob Katter opened his Melbourne Press Club address reciting 'Freedom on the Wallaby' by Henry Lawson and finished it reading from his own history of Australia.
In between he ranged across topics close to his heart, including the impacts of free-market economics, the hypocrisy of the major parties and the regular foreclosure by banks on properties in North Queensland.
