Robert Cummin "Bob" Katter, Sr. (5 September 191818 March 1990) was an Australian federal politician and Minister for the Army. He was a National Party member of the Australian House of Representatives for over 23 years. ==Early years and background== Katter was born in Brisbane, Queensland, of Maronite Catholic Lebanese descent and has been described as a cousin of the poet Khalil Gibran. His father was one of the two dozen original investors to start Qantas. He was raised and educated "probably by the nuns" in Cloncurry and later at Mount Carmel College in Charters Towers. He began legal studies at the University of Queensland and resided at St Leo's College (when the College was at Wickham Terrace), but with the outbreak of World War II, he served in the Australian Army as a lieutenant from 1940 and was promoted to captain in 1942. In July 1942 his service was terminated on grounds of ill health. Later he was proprietor of the local drapery business, menswear store and picture theatre in Cloncurry, Queensland. One of his first actions in taking over the cinema was to remove the steel railings which separated the Aboriginal patrons from other Australians〔 and to remove the hard chairs so that everyone was forced to share the canvas seats〔 normally reserved for European Australians. Katter served on Cloncurry Shire Council for over twenty years. He was a Councillor from 1946 to 1967 and was its Chairman from 1948 to 1951 and again from 1964 to 1967. Katter's first wife, Mabel (née Horn), died in 1971. Bob junior, Norman and Geraldine are children, in that order, from the first marriage. Katter remarried, to Joy, in 1976. Carl, Richard and Bernadette are children, in that order, from the second marriage.
