Watch: Moment Australian politician raises fist at journalist

Australian politician Bob Katter raised his fist at a journalist during a press conference after he was asked about his Lebanese heritage.

Katter, 80, called the press conference to explain his planned attendance at the March for Australia, an anti-immigration rally scheduled for this weekend.

After the journalist referenced Katter's Lebanese heritage, Katter said: "Don't say that! Because that irritates me, and I've punched blokes in the mouth for saying that."
