Katter declares KAP the only true Opposition as LNP fractures
May 20, 2025
Federal Member for Kennedy, Hon. Bob Katter, views the split of the LNP as an inevitable result of the failed election campaign and lack of policy and conviction of either party.
"Yesterday we had one party, the LNP, with no direction. Today we have two parties with no direction," stated Mr Katter.
"Australia is in desperate need of an Opposition that can hold the ALP Government to account. Instead what we are receiving is an Opposition in complete disarray."
"True to form, neither the Liberals or the Nationals can agree to a position on net zero, nuclear, coal or renewables. Instead they are both blindly going down the path of higher energy prices and severe energy shortages. They have no alternative, no criticism, no set direction."
"The Liberals and Nationals have destroyed almost every rural industry that has supported them. They deregulated or opened to the "free" market; sugar, tobacco, maize, peanuts, flowers, grapes, avocados, citrus and many other primary industries."
"The newly elected Liberals leader, Sussan Ley, led the charge to ban live-sheep export – overnight destroying the livelihoods of many hard working rural families. Littleproud has got very little to be proud of for not even fighting this in the slightest but rather standing behind wiping the tears from his eyes."
"Don't be fooled – cattle will be next. They are no friend to the farmer."
"For many years the policy lines between the ALP, LNP, Liberals and Nationals have been blurred, marred by political infighting rather than genuine and meaty debates on the direction that our once great nation is taking."
"One thing is true now more than ever, Katter's Australian Party is the true Opposition."
