The work, painted by renowned Australian artist David Darcy, joins the collection of portraits of former prime ministers, speakers, governor generals and a small handful of others who have made a significant contribution to the nation.
Mr Katter used the occasion to pay tribute, not only to his family and colleagues, but to the generations of Australians whose resilience and ingenuity built the country.
“This is not a painting of ‘a person’ and I hope nobody sees it that way,” Mr Katter said.
“It’s recognition of people that have very strong feelings about this country, to make it a land of opportunity, to have the same wonderful opportunities that I and most of my generation enjoyed.”
