KAP Kennedy MP, Bob Katter, has blasted the Federal Government for their ‘blame shifting’, ‘vote buying’ and ‘attention diverting’ politicking in response to the tragic Bondi shooting, warning that persecuting responsible firearm owners will only escalate terror risk at the hands of mass immigration, and people becoming radicalised because of mass immigration.

He said the priority should instead be on immediately closing the immigration floodgates and moving laws that will deliver no migration without assimilation.

“I serve warning today; the Federal Government must immediately implement a strict, unapologetic policy of

‘NO MIGRATION WITHOUT ASSIMILATION’ or we, ‘The Gumtree Australians’, will rise up.

“The people coming into this country through the migration floodgates must be asked: ‘Do you come from countries with the rule of law? Do you come from countries with democracy? Do you come from countries with Christianity and Christian-like values? Do you come from countries with industrial awards?’

“For the vast bulk of people being brought here — the Middle Eastern, North African crowd — the answer is no, no, no, no. Why the hell are we bringing people in who share none of our values?”

Mr Katter said he was disgusted that the Federal Government appeared to be downplaying the significance of the event by arguing the two shooters were citizens and that there was no evidence of radicalisation.

“This was clearly an antisemitic attack at the hands of radicals. I don’t care if they were radicalised in the deserts of Syria or the mosques of western Sydney — they have been subjected to a paradigm of hatred against Australians and our way of life, and for anyone to be downplaying and deflecting this situation is evil,” he warned.

“The ALP and LNP have a lot to answer for. They opened the floodgates. They allowed these people into our country. They allowed them to bring with them their hatred and wars. They allowed them to freely burn our flag and make anti-Australian and antisemitic statements. They encouraged them to live in radical ethnic enclaves in our major cities. They provided them with welfare, offering no encouragement for work.

“These radicals have no interest in becoming Australian or being Australian. They are fanatical. They bring their own wars and hatred to our shores and have a commitment to ensure we become like them.”

Fronting media in Townsville today, Mr Katter said he had Federal Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Tony Burke, directly in his line of fire, interrogating him on the essential questions that need to be answered immediately before any sinister moves are made to disarm and render Australia impotent and “subject to the bad guys”.

“You didn’t enforce the laws we already have against the bad guys. Your gun laws should have ensured those people didn’t have guns. Your gun laws are clearly useless and hopeless against the bad guys. The underworld mocks us while the farmers pay the price.

“To Minister Burke, I serve a question in writing:

“Did this shooter gain citizenship after his student visa concluded? If so, why? If not, why was he allowed to stay in the country?

“Which country did they — or his parents or relatives — come from, if they have been allowed into Australia?

“Did ASIO allow the younger shooter to travel to the Middle East after they had identified his links to ISIS?

Why was he not stopped at the border?

“Was ASIO aware of the licensed gun ownership of the father?

“Will you accept there be ‘no migration without assimilation’ — bringing people in from countries that have democracy, the rule of law, Christianity, industrial awards and egalitarian traditions?

“Is it true that no action was taken against demonstrators at an anti-Jewish protest that took place in front of the Sydney Opera House, where these demonstrators chanted ‘gas the Jews’, and were any names taken down of these people advocating murder?

“Were any names taken down of the protestors that fronted the Bondi memorial on Monday, 15 December?

“Would you provide an explanation as to the Government’s involvement in the repatriation of the reportedly two thousand ISIS brides and other radicals who were not only allowed but are actively encouraged to re enter our country?

“Why was no action taken against the two nurses who said, and I quote, ‘if they had Jewish patients under their control, they would murder them?’

“How many people have come to Australia from the Middle East and North Africa in the last 12 years?

“Is it true that some 92 per cent of migrants go effectively to Sydney and Melbourne, where manufacturing is long since gone, with limited work and no housing?”

Mr Katter said Australians had clearly had a gutful of the immigration flood and warned they would continue to rise up in righteous anger after witnessing the collapse of social cohesion in France and the UK.

“The French, for the first time ever, now have more immigrants than their own people. They are effectively eradicating themselves from the gene pool. They must now put up their nativity display behind bulletproof glass.

“Their churches are burning at the hands of their ‘Islamic community’. Their Christmas events are cancelled for fear of a terror event. I mean, when will this government wake up to the fact that they are brewing a cataclysmic disaster of the likes never before seen?

“Finally, I reiterate, I don’t care if you have been here for five minutes, five generations or 50,000 years — if you live in this country and love this country, you are Australian.”
