Mr Katter was in Tamworth meeting with local leaders to discuss issues that affect inland Australia and polices that will reverse its population decline.

“I’ve had both of my Covid vaccinations, but I don’t have a smart phone so I can’t check-in using the State Government app, but I did give them options to verify.

“However, the local media and police was called.

“This is un-Australian. We have a right to associate and assemble.

“Full praise to the local police officer carrying out their duties in a very respectful manner.”
