FEDERAL independent MP Bob Katter fears he and his supporters will be thrown in the slammer because he's a political threat to the major parties.
The MP's Katter's Australian Party is gaining traction with voters with some commentators predicting it might win several Senate seats at the September 14 election.
Asked if he expects a dirty campaign from the major parties, Mr Katter referred to the jailing of Pauline Hanson.
"My chief of staff had everybody in and said staff understand this ... we expect they will try to throw us in jail," he told ABC Radio on Thursday.
"Every time you fill out a form, anytime you do anything or say anything be aware we are in danger of going to jail."
Pauline Hanson was convicted of electoral fraud in 2003 and spent several months in jail before the conviction was overturned.

Has he done something questionable to have to fear that?

hahahaha
yer right.. he is not really that much of a threat..
Once you get see more of him you realise he is a real nutter...before anyone votes for him I think you need to see him in person.
Yes some of his policies are fantastic but others are so wrong and misguided... he thinks he is right in all him policies and seems to not want to negotiate his plans...

"Any press is good press"

He may come across as a bit of a nutter but he is honest and genuine which is more than can be said for both the major parties.
I wont be voting for him or his party but I like him.

If he breaks the law, there is a very real possibility that he could go to jail.
