What We Stand For
A fair go
All Australians deserve a fair go, and Katter’s Australian Party stands for policies that make this happen.
Making sure regional and rural Australia gets its fair share
Katter’s Australian Party is fed up with capital cities taking more than their fair share while regional Australia is left carrying the load with little in return. KAP is fighting to ensure rural and regional communities get the fair funding they deserve.
Encouraging the development of every person’s talents and skills
Katter’s Australian Party believes in creating policies and thus an environment that nurtures individual initiative, and the development of every person’s, and especially children’s, talents and skills to the maximum.
The importance of contributing
To make Australia the best it can be, the value of contributing cannot be underestimated.
The right for property owners to enjoy their property
Government interference in people’s lives must finish at the family fence or property boundary. Legislation overriding all other laws must provide that intrusion and interference upon that household can only occur where human health and life is in serious and immediate jeopardy.
Putting Australia’s interests first
Governments are accountable to the Australian people for the management of outcomes that protect and enhance both the social and economic fabric of the Australian people and the sovereignty and independence of the Australian nation.
Christian values
Modern Australia was founded on Christian values and a responsibility to one’s fellow man. This heritage belongs to all Australians and defines the culture of the nation. The ideals for Australian society and government should be based upon these principles.
Personal responsibility and accountability
Katter’s Australian Party believes in policies that acknowledge the importance of personal responsibility and accountability.
Support for those in need
While Australians in genuine need must always be supported with compassion and dignity, that support should be a hand-up, not a handout. Our belief is that assistance must be there for as long as the need exists, but it does not absolve people of their responsibility to support themselves wherever possible.
Protecting Australia’s sovereignty and independence
To ensure we protect Australia’s sovereignty and independence, we need a strong economy, have a defence force strong enough to deter invasion, and put Australia’s interests first in respect to agricultural land, corporations, resources and utilities.
