KAP Member for Kennedy has delivered on his promise to give prominent North Queensland Cowboys board member, Kerry Boustead, one of his trademark Akubras.

One of the Cowboy’s founders, Kerry Boustead, took a minute out yesterday ahead of the epic Semi-Final win over the Broncos to receive Mr Katter’s long promised Akubra felt hat.

Mr Katter has known Kerry Boustead for a long time, “I consider Kerry the best winger in rugby league and that’s not because of any misguided Nth Qld or Innisfail patriotism , look at his old games and tell me he’s not one of the best tacklers and the most elusive winger the game has seen.

“Kerry and I did a couple of trips together in the early days trying to raise money for the Cowboys and I’m proud to have as my friend Michael Collins a Charters Towers pharmacist who was one of the major original contributors.

“I’ve always admired Kerry, not just as a winger but as a man of outstanding moral integrity

“It’s wonderful to have Kerry back in the Cowboys family
