Are you sick of the crippling youth crime rate in North Queensland?

Black spots everywhere with regards to CCTV coverage at Rockhampton Correctional Centre. My son Benn Schinkel was assaulted on October 22nd 2022 at the Centre and passed away from his injuries the next day. No CCTV where he was assaulted and TO THIS DAY NO coverage in this area for CCTV. Since 2016 the Together Union has been advocating for full coverage and Two Coroners reports have all been ignored by the Labor Party.

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.

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.

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.

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
