Because, Van Gough, Bob Katter is alleged to have made the following media comment:
Independent federal MP Bob Katter said he was glad to see the end of Macair, which had monopolised the industry in remote Queensland for years.
"As far as I'm concerned Macair is no loss," Mr Katter said.
"The price they were charging people to get into the mines was outrageous. As far as I'm concerned it's good riddance."
Mr Katter called on the state government to find a solution to offer cheaper flights in and out of the northwest Queensland mining town of Mount Isa.
"You can get from Brisbane to New Zealand for a couple of hundred bucks, but you can't get from Mount Isa to Townsville for under $400," he said.
Now, can we leave it at that and move on?
