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.

What is happening with all of the stolen cars that are on the sides of the road that have been checked by police? The same cars have been sitting from Mission Beach through to Cairns for many months now it looks disgraceful and is not a good example when people are coming as tourists.

KAP is the only voice for North West Queensland with the gusto to tackle rising crime, unfair disputes in communities and take on the SouthEatst and their greedy funding programs ie 50 cent bus fairs and multi million dollar foot bridges. What a joke right?

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!

I own a Taxi Licence and my car no longer works after 6pm. It's because the crime is out of control..The police are doing everything they can but I believe it's the courts letting everyone down..The amount of school age children walking the streets during the day during school hours is disgraceful..During the dark juveniles run the town..

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
