FEDERAL independent MP Bob Katter is getting both federal and state taxpayer-funded entitlements, with the commonwealth paying about $20,000 a month for his flight and car expenses and him claiming benefits from his time as a Queensland state parliamentarian.

Almost two decades after quitting state politics, documents reveal Mr Katter is among the few politicians from the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era still claiming the travel benefits for former MPs, ministers and premiers.
