Maverick federal MP Bob Katter has passed his party’s leadership baton over to son Robbie so he has more time to target his enemies.

Robbie Katter is a member of the Queensland parliament and leader of the state’s Katter Australian Party branch.

“I desperately need the time to get these dams built and to get at the throats of enemies — the free marketeers and the lily-pad left … I can’t do that while I have to do the leadership role,” Mr Katter said on Monday.

The Queensland branch of the party has three elected members in total.
