When you approach the highway border between the Northern Territory and Queensland from the Territory , you would not be surprised to see signs warning of cane toads , prickly pear , pockets of ranters and other Bananaland scourges such as Panama Disease and Coalition Codswallop .
However , seasoned travellers last week were taken aback when they drove up to the border , saw the large Welcome to Queensland sign , with puzzling plain white backs of two smaller signs attached to the uprights .

Upon investigation , they were found to be corflutes for the pistol- packing Member for Kennedy , Bob Katter, and Sunshine State Senator "Please explain " Pauline Hanson .
Obviously, border security is lacking if pollies can attache their kissers to the NQ Corral fence and possibly distract drivers . In days gone by , you often saw signs saying POST NO BILLS . It is obvious that there should be one today , POST NO POLLIES ON THE BORDER .
The comment was made that it was surprising that nobody had used the corflutes for target practise as so many outback signs are riddled.
Katter would probably not have complained if his smiling cowboy image had been plugged, because recently he called for all high school students, including girls , to be given rifles and trained at armouries as part of a plan to defend Australia .
It was revealed that gun lobby groups made donations amounting to $615,000 to Katter's electoral war chest over a decade,$330,000 last financial year
When it comes to support for gun-slinging, it is recalled that a sting by the Al Jazeera news organisation revealed that Hanson"s One National Party had sought millions of dollars from America's National Rifle Association in a bid to change gun ownership laws in Australia .
