Kotter had already been in the news this month for his bizarre rant over same-sex marriage.
The North Queensland Federal MP went viral for his answer to a question about marriage equality.
"I mean, y'know, people are entitled to their sexual proclivities. Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom, as far as I'm concerned," he answered on TV.
He then became visibly angry and continued: "But I ain't spendin' any time on it, because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland."
According to ABC Fact Check, his claim of a person being torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland every three months is not correct.
