The opening was attended by representatives from all levels of government, including Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor Teresa Millwood, Division 1 Councillor Chris Littlemore, Senator Anthony Chisholm, and Member for Mulgrave Terry James, […]

Finding efficiencies and enhancing opportunities across key regional transport networks like the Mount Isa to Townsville corridor has been re-affirmed as one of the major priorities of KAP Leader and Member for Traeger Robbie Katter in 2025.

Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) Federal Member Bob Katter has today acknowledged the federal government’s efforts in providing an additional $20 million for the On Farm Connectivity Program (OFCP) but has emphasised that while this initiative is a step in the right direction, it falls far short of addressing the fundamental issues facing farmers in rural […]
Read moreWe’re here to fight for what you need. So speak up, be heard, and help us ensure North Queensland gets the representation it truly deserves.
Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) is dedicated to advocating for the rights and interests of regional and rural Australians. Our mission is to ensure fair representation and resource allocation for these communities, which are often overlooked by capital cities.
KAP believes that all Australians deserve a fair go. We stand for policies that protect and enhance both the social and economic fabric of the nation, ensuring the sovereignty and independence of Australia. We are committed to creating an environment that nurtures individual initiative and the development of every person’s talents and skills to their maximum potential.
KAP is dedicated to holding the government accountable and ensuring that the voices of regional and rural Australians are heard. We strive to create policies that benefit these communities and advocate for their fair treatment.
I don’t want to belong to a political party, however I strongly believe that all federal and state governments are happy to neglect the infrastructure of FNQ. The most urgent need is highly suitable road between Mareeba and Cairns. Suitable for all the heavy vehicles and trade vehicles that currently have to use the Kuranda Range on the Kennedy Highway. With no road, there will be no serious development in the northern tablelands region. The Mareeba airfield is suitable for further expansion. There is a military base near Weipa, there is land that isn’t suitable for agriculture and could be used for important manufacturing centres such as a recycling centre. The list hours on. The NE of Queensland could become a vital and important part of the state. Not just a tourist destination.

The government needs to stop locking up the bush it’s making it near impossible to take our kids camping in the bush everything is caravan parks what about when we grew up when you could camp on a river teach the kids to fish develop bush skills but now all the national parks have been locked up no 4x4 no buggies or moto bikes. You want us to take up arms to protect this nation and yet we are locked out of everywhere why would I fight? . As for electric cars get Chris Bowen in his elec car and get him to drive from cairns to Weipa let’s see how far he gets and yet there is no tax exception for regional residence to have the new car pollution tax removed there isn’t the roads or infrastructure in place on the cape.

Weapons Licensing in Queensland I would like to see KAP support legitimate licensed firearms owners by ensuring that the current firearms amnesty for persons who wish to surrender a firearm or register an unregistered firearm continues indefinitely. It would also be good id KAP could introduce legislation in Queensland to make the current system less complex, less costly and speedier. It would also be good to introduce legislation to allow licensed persons to own suppressors. This is an important health (hearing) initiative as well as important for the control of feral animals such as cats and wild domestic breed dogs (not dingoes). It would also be good to change legislation to allow licenses to be issued for up to 10 years and to have expiry dates aligned to drivers licenses or other photo docs such as passports. documents.

I think the states of Australia are far too large, I think the Katter party should fight harder for more states/provinces. Federally I want to see something done about the health care up here. It shouldn’t be “normal” to still be in a waiting room, or sleeping on the concrete footpath in front of the hospital for more than 10 hours. Whilst state run, the police and criminal justice systems need an overhaul, crime is out of control and it’s just a joke to these kids. I firmly believe that a 3 strikes and your out policy should be implemented but I understand Australia is firmly in the grips of these do gooders that believe ppl can be rehabilitated. To that I say rehabilitated at what cost and paid for by whom?

COUNCIL RATES!! As a pastoral grazier, the sale of all farmland properties prices has gone through the roof and hence dept of natural resources uses these over inflated figures, and then councils to base farming rates. Rates for one farmer family can be around $80,000!! Why should one family contribute all this money to council?? All they get back is a road! Too busy producing food for the country, to use any town services etc. over inflated housing prices are also pushing rates up, and if rates were capped, then landlords could reduce rents to make it more affordable for renters as well! No farmer should be paying 10,s of thousands in rates,, we need support to get all councils to reduce rates. Etheridge council values went up by 500%, last year, and so did rates! One family farmer should not be robbed of rediculus amounts of rates, and has no fighting ability in council laws to have them reduced!! We need support to change this situation please??

I still think culling crocs should be high on the agenda. Even if it was an indigenous initiative to have safari's and encourage tourists, then the money could go directly to each community. They cull pigs, kangaroos, buffalo, brumbies, etc They'll never be extinct or domesticated. If they get close they have plenty of stock in farms. They used to be called when I was young and we could go swimming everywhere.. and if you have a farm you should be able to not live in fear of your life or your kids and livestock lives. Even if just south of the Daintree.

I just completed your survey and while I'd like the government to solve the issues you've raised, the question is how. How are you going to get more funding for infrastructure for NQ over the rest of Aus / QLD? What are the infrastructure priorities? How does the gov do something about the housing shortage, when we cant build them fast enough, demand grossly outstrips supply, subsidies will only push prices higher. Where does the money come from to pay for these ideas? Foreign ownership of Aus. land should not exist at all, it should only be owned by an Aus citizen or Aus registered company paying taxes in Aus. I'd like to see corporate businesses

I am extremely frustrated that "we the people" have NO power to break in and over-rule if the government does something we really do not support. I would actually be happy for longer terms of parliament IF it came with reasonable (not too easy BUT also not impossibly hard) mechanisms for the people to step in whenever THEY deem it necessary. This could / should include things like citizens veto over legislation and recall elections for MPs. The literal meaning of the word "democracy" is "rule by the people". At present we completely "delegate away" that authority except for one day in every 3 or 4 years and virtually have a dictatorship all the days in between. No business owner would operate like this, signing a contract for a manager to have COMPLETE control for 3 or 4 years with NO requirement to follow the instructions of the owner. Why do we (the owners of "the business of government") continue to give our managers (MPs / government) such free rein?

Please return to grazing lease holders ' The Right to Lock Up. Currently leaseholders pay rates as well as lease fee as well as 20 million dollars public liability insurance and have zero say or power over who goes onto the property and what they do. The leaseholder is responsible for them and what they do. People tear up the roads with their vehicles and ATM's, leave gates open, cut fences, scatter the herds of cattle to the winds during mustering, ruin access during wet seasons, start fires, shoot fire arms, and have even been witnessed trying to steal cattle. A sign has been placed at the gate giving the public permission to enter. My family have owned their lease for over 45 years and the government has changed things so much. They used to be able to lock the gates and know who was on the property as they had to seek permission to enter. Now there is even a Victorian TV show that has placed the property on the internet as a great place to go camping and four wheel driving. The government have no idea what a destructive and unfair decision it is to give the public access to leaseholders properties. The erosion is terrible. The local rangers are frustrated as well. Please give leaseholders back their rights of ownership.

Now is the time to remove foolish protection laws for sharks, crocodiles, snakes, flying foxes and clearing vegetation that impacts production. There is a truth highlighted by history that says “What you don’t use you lose” The annual fires in Victoria give testimony to the harvest of socialistic clearing laws, nothing to do with emissions. We are not proposing extinction but mankind should have dominion where he resides. There are millions of acres of wild forest for flying foxes and snakes. Also vast expanses of ocean for sharks and rivers for crocodiles. But where mankind resides should be safe and free to enjoy that environment, our beaches parks and rivers near settlements. Fining people $30,000 for killing a crocodile that is killing your livestock seems somewhat out of balance when an NRL footballer can drive a car unlicensed, be full of illicit drugs run into another car harming a mother and child and only receive an $895 fine. Someone needs to stand up against all this false science that is indoctrinating our future generations. Unless the State Education curriculum is overhauled all our future leaders will continue to be deceived into a world of fantasy. The best way to fight all these lies is in the schoolroom.

I believe the issues that you are tackling right at the moment are probably the most important of what the state is facing at this direct time. One other issue that we are currently are facing that is constantly overlooked is the state of the Bruce Hi way, I have travelled this Rd for a good 12-14 years from Cairns to Brisbane ranging between several times a month or in not so much of the distant time once a week. Thus particular road is in very poor order especially for a 100km per hour national hiway, I for one would like that rd to resemble what the NT have which is thicker based rd surfaces that don't need constant repair as they are at a capacity to have road trains transport freight on a daily basis. There is 2 ways we can spread out the usage of this rd is by putting in a proposal for a national duel lane hiway from Brisbane to Cairns, this could be achieved by stage based work as they currently have done from Brisbane to Gympie, by continuing the link from Gympie north to Rockhampton the Rocky to Mackay then Mackay to Townsville and then onto Cairns. The man power to produce this rd or the staging moments for it is a massive job, I believe by giving these teens that are constantly in jail and in court as a revolving door have some sort of program to be put in place under main roads wing as a second chance at life and to be apart of something new and exciting for the state. This would decrease the cost in the development of the road as well as construction, if police and corrections officers were to oversee the discipline of these teens as well as maintaining their presence at work it would give these kids a second chance at life and to have long term potential for a career in construction or on the roads. There is a lot more to be considered but that is just a case for a big brainstorming session to have this achieved, I believe if this was put to a vote for the Qld people I believe this would pass especially from the friends and families of these teens as well as the victims of crime, this would take pressure off the current jail numbers and have room for the real criminals. Just a few ideas, I have been thinking about and talking with numerous people about in and out of my business. I look forward to hearing back from this in the future, as I'm sure Robbie and Bob would both generally agree. Kind regards Matt Impey Matt's Transport

There is also quad bikes and side by sides using the roads and ripping up the beaches again police and local council have done nothing about this. I’m also concerned and annoyed by the number of illegal dwellings in our area. Council have done nothing about the poorly built structures being constructed in a cyclone area. Road sealing program. Why has government not sealed our roads? Every year they spend a fortune grading and fixing the unsealed roads for the wet season to wash them into the creeks and Daintree river and out on to the Great Barrier Reef.

There are many important issues worth considering in the upcoming election but the need to restore protections for the unborn trumps them all. It is an absolute obscenity that our laws allow abortion up to birth. No sane, honest person could deny that legalising abortions up to birth was legalising murder. If we do not respect life, it is inevitable that our society will fall apart, crime will flourish and happiness will be impossible. There are few people prepared to stand up to the evil and damaged promoters of abortion. I applaud Katter's Australia Party election candidates for their strong and principled stance.

The importance of swimming lessons within schools from prep-year 9 (I’m a school teacher and I’ve seen a few miss drownings at swimming carnivals due to kids not knowing how to swim). $150 swimming vouchers be available to all Queensland families not just families on a health care card! Swimming is an essential skill that all Queensland children need to learn.

Sure you are present in Weipa, Cooktown etc, they are not remote towns, the people in those communities are all on Facebook despite living beside each other. You may consider being active on YouTube https://youtube.com/@kattersaustralianparty4432?feature=shared We in remote Cape York don't have Radio or Normal TV. We watch YouTube or Rumble for news.

Queensland has lost its way under labour, i live in Cairns where you could safely drive around, leave windows open at night and the city had an air or excitement and culture. I originally come from Zimbabwe where you have to take stern security measures at home, over the last few years Cairns is catching up whereby it is no longer a safe place to live as since labour passed the youth justice act and restricted the judiciary from handing out appropriate sentences for the crimes committed we are becoming a two tiered society, rules for all the hard working citizens and none for a select minority, this has to be changed and done quickly.

Good Evening My partner and I are seriously considering a vote for the Katter Party. We live in Idalia in Townsville. We have been discussing the need for the Katter Party candidates to present with a strong public face over the coming weeks. A clear message of the party policies and direction for the Townsville community needs to be delivered across different mediums to reach the people. An example, Send em out bush, how, where to, and implementation strategies. A real plan and not just a slogan. From the mouth of my grandson….. “they need to consider the impact on the out bush communities in dealing with these criminals”. We are keen to see change but want clarity and confidence in what and on whom we are backing.

Dear Robbie, As a 'Financial Counsellor' within our community, it is disgusting that both 'State' and 'Federal' governments are not 'throwing' money toward having more financial counsellors on the ground - right here in the Isa. 'First Nations' financial counsellors who are not even part of our community are funded to fly in and out of Townsville, to service the financial needs of our local community. (I can name this person). Too much funding given to certain NGO's who employ financial counsellors. There is no accountability whatsoever with regard to the appropriate use of this funding. If the government can splash money on DV and make this the mantra for the day, throw some money at a 'Financial Counsellor' dedicated to DV. This person will be independent of all other DV services in town, function solely as a 'financial counsellor', 'financial literacy educator', 'financial hardship advocate, and a conduit between community members experiencing financial hardship and regulatory bodies like AFCA, ASIC, ACCC, APRA,. At present we have 'One (1) financial counsellor who claims to be servicing not only Mount Isa but also the surrounding region in towns like Cloncurry, Normanton, Doomadgee, Boulia, and Mornington Island. Pearl Turner is the financial counsellor's name. If the government and other human services organizations like QCOSS and DHS think they are adequately funding financial counsellors to service this region, they are sadly mistaken. Don't let Uniting Care, Save the Children, and Centacare fool the public and the government. Uniting Care: Have an office (asset) on Sunset Drive that is grossly underutilized. It is meant to house a 'Financial Counsellor' and a 'Family Services Worker'. For starters they have been advertising the RAFS position for months. Why aren't they getting anyone for the role? They also have a 'financial counsellor' who is firstly not from our community, and secondly who flies in and out of Townsville to service 'financial hardship' clients here in the Isa. The name is William Santo. Get Mount Isa City Council to employ a couple of financial counsellors, so these financial counsellors wholely and solely represent the community and are void of being tied up to an NGO. It would only make sense that MICC make the funding available and/or source the funding to have a couple of financial counsellors on the ground, here in the Isa. I am throwing my hat in for the financial counsellors position at MICC. I will not only manage my cases but will also groom and train a person another like minded professional.

I believe Australia is too big a country with a growing population and our state a must be divided into smaller areas so smaller regions can be governed at a state level by locals who understand the area and represent the values of the constituents. (USA has 50 states while Australia has 6) Not only should Queensland become two states, but many other states in the country should be divided, and Northern Territory should become an official state, or parts of it combined with other states. My issue is, living in Central Queensland, we are closer to Brisbane in distance but closer to North Queensland in terms of values. I would not like to be grouped in with the corrupt South-East corner. If KAP petitioned to split Queensland, don’t do it at the Tropic of Capricorn, follow LGA borders, and let Wide Bay and Central Queensland regions fall under Townsville’s rule and keep the South-East and Southern Downs only under Brisbane.

Key problem: roughly 98% of Australians live within 150 km of the coast ( most in 3 major city areas) - where a very large number work in ‘ service’ jobs - and have very little knowledge or interest of what goes on beyond city boundaries. In health terms alone men living in regional and remote areas are 60% more likely to die of diseases common to both city and regional areas. A vast % Australias wealth is generated from mining and agriculture - located in regional areas. Yet the NP and NFF no longer provide strong advocacy for the bush - in fact almost the opposite. Added to which ‘big business’ dominates access and influence to politicians - yet SMEs contribute 56% to GDP ( with 33% of that by businesses employing less than 20 people) ! It is 20 years since a politician knocked on my door at election time - and I am fed up with calling an MPs office to be screened by some wet behind the ears junior staffer. The major parties no longer represent the democratic interests and rights of the majority of our population. The grass roots have been forgotten.

Time to give these 2 major parties the boot, and get back to a real Democratic system of Government.

IfI could afford to donate I certainly would but unfortunately by the time I Pay insurance etc etc etc there is very very little left in my old age pension. However what really annoys me Robbie is the fact Afghannis can come into Australia - NEVER WORKED OR PAID TAXES and given good pensions - cheap rent - furniture etc and they will never ever integrate into our society. Yes we had the Afghanni Camel drivers when Australia was opening upand they worked so hard transporting all our needs for farmers etc - THEY WERE GREAT PEOPLE and worked so hard for our nation and THEIR NATION as well. But this new lot are NOTHING like theAfghannis of yesteryear - ask any returned vet who was sent there in recent times and they will tell you EXACTLY what these people are like. I don't want them in our country as they are going to ruin it totally and our way of life. I agree with you totally re diving Queensland as SEQLD don't give a fig about North Queensland or Central Queensland but they certainly like the money our mining industry etc give them.

Hey KAP, Long time followers and KAP supporters. Just curious what your thoughts are on the sun tax for solar? We spent a fortune getting solar on our home, not the batteries as there are too many horror stories of houses catching fire, so we held off. Now we are about to be taxed for contributing to the grid? How does that seem fair when we are sending off our excess? Following the govt plan of renewables, it just seems we are being punished for helping ourselves with the cost of living and following the government agenda in regard to their policy of promoting renewables and lowering emissions. Now to avoid the tax we have to spend another $13,000 odd to get batteries, that we avoided in the first place, our original solar set up cost us $12,000. This government can’t have it both ways, surely? Particularly here in Townsville where people are utilising the 300 days of sunshine a year to generate solar energy, assist the family budget and now the government wants to take it away from us and tax us for a natural occurrence,. They can’t turn the sun off. Do we then get compensated for rainy days and having to draw back at a recently significantly increased high cost. So we are being burnt in both ways, we generate electricity they tax us, when we need to buy it back, they rip us. So much for the government helping families with the cost of living. It just appears that everywhere we turn, the government is finding ways to take more and more money off us. We hope you can have sufficient influence to prevent this abysmal and unfair burden on ordinary Australians from proceeding.

All those in Authority, including Parents, Teachers and Police especially, need to have their rights returned to physically punish and teach all children that there are consequences for actions that hurt people or property! They need to be taught respect for people and property. For those that come from undesirable backgrounds, they also need to have that cycle broken, children removed where necessary, especially if parents/guardians are irresponsible with drugs/alcohol etc. and unable to care properly for children as they are bad role models. Children need to know you cannot do or say whatever you like, you need to work, earn money, pay for what you want, not steal it! Hard lessons need to be learnt. Sent out bush to work in the hot sun to learn skills for both inside and outside a home, like mustering, fencing, gardening, cooking and all sorts of trades! NB! No privileges like mobile ph's, tv's or computers. No do-gooders advising that they need this that and the other. They need nothing until they learn how to be respectful human beings. As they improve, so do the privileges. You foul up, you lose a privilege.

Our entire society is broken. Keeping the same laws etc will not bring about change. Toughen up on patents from abdicating responsibility and if they keep popping out babies just to neglect and have them become state wards sterilise them! Parents need to be fined and or have welfare ceased if their children are not attending school and are committing crimes. I am disgusted at what this country has become! Ban the sale of alcohol or at least reduce the availability of alcohol sales and the amount that can be purchased. Ban the vaping. Totally ban the sale of tobacco products. Ban gambling. When I was a child we never had these problems beside alcohol was not so easily available. Gambling was illegal and police had authority and were able to exercise it. Juvenile detention was not a bad of honour! It was against the law for children not to attend school! Parents were accountable for their children and supported them. Welfare was not so readily available and there was plenty of work beside we manufactured. We were a nation progressing…creating industries and training people to become and remain employed! Too many generations living on welfare and not enough job to employ people as industries have closed and gone off shore. Kids are becoming patents and get welfare! Neglect ad abuse their children do the tax follsrd are stretched go provide for them. Criminals are terrorising law abiding citizens and the. Consequences for crimes are a joke! Seven years for murder and get out in two years ! Seriously assault some one and out within a few months. . Victims are traumatised for life and these criminals think it is a joke it is their entertainment! Psyc evualations on in all criminals and treat them in a mental health facility , for life if necessary as sane people do not keep Reoffending!

Well my say for me is not out of the ordinary, firearm laws in Queensland are ridiculous and getting worse, due to the shootings at Wieambilla I can only imagine the wave of restrictions that are going to be introduced to the shooting community, we need shooter friendly parties like yourselves to stand up for us, LAFO’s are not the problem criminals are and we as the LAFO’s are punished because of the small amount of people that commit crimes with firearms, Around three in 100 Australians are licensed firearms owners. Expert says firearms laws have “little” impact on Australian homicide rate. ‘Majority of deaths by guns are by way of self-harm or suicide’: public health expert. We need to have castle doctrine installed so we can legally protect our families and ourselves in our homes so we are not dragged through court for years costing us thousands…. Very unfair. And of course youth crime I believe that the above mentioned castle doctrine would help to control crime after a few have lost their lives, criminals don’t really want to die for their crimes, youth detention centres and for the lack of a better terminology boot camps like the ones that the kap party want to be installed would help a lot, education is the key, my uncle Elwin Torrenbeck used to run Aboriginal training camps to teach and train young people not necessarily all Aboriginals to work in the bush, how to be a good human and how to work cattle and to work the land, Jeff guest did something similar at petford, but these programs have all stopped but need to be reintroduced. After 1996 I have never voted for a major party I have only ever voted for the Katter party , John Howard made all firearms owners criminals overnight, it was unfair to every firearm owner in Australia…. If firearm owners were the problem then everyone would know it… we are not. Terry
