Voice of the North West
Robbie Katter is the North West’s voice to the Queensland Parliament. As Leader of Katter’s Australian Party and Member for Traeger, he fights relentlessly for families, workers, industry development, farmers and small business owners across the vast Traeger electorate and beyond.
With real-world experience in mining, property valuation and running a small business, Robbie understands the struggles North Queenslanders face. From tackling crime and defending local industries to securing jobs and holding the Government accountable, Robbie is committed to standing up for the place he calls home.
To travel across one of Queensland’s largest electorates, Robbie holds a current pilot licence enabling him to reach all the small towns and outposts he is proud to represent.
We won’t be conned that Brisbane’s multi-billion dollar two-week party is good for the rest of the state. Brisbane and the south east are about to suck up every tradie in the state for seven years, stifling any development where the taxes and royalties and earned to pay for this joke. Scrapping the Olympics and spending the billions on building enabling infrastructure in rural Queensland is the only option we support.

🗞 📰 A few years on, but the story hasn’t changed…
While CopperString has now been approved and partly funded, none of its benefits have been realised yet. In the meantime, the North West continues to suffer under an energy monopoly that strangles industry, jobs, and opportunity.
This project was meant to be the game-changer our region desperately needed, but delays mean businesses are still paying some of the highest power prices in the country, and we’re still waiting for the infrastructure that should already be delivering cheaper, more reliable energy.
We’ll keep pushing until North Queensland gets the energy security and economic boost it was promised.

🔥 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – NORTH WEST JOBS ON THE LINE 🔥
I’ve written to the Queensland Minister for Natural Resources and Mines demanding action – we WILL NOT sit back and let administrators kill off another mine in the North West.
The Ardmore Phosphate Mine south of Mount Isa is on the brink, and so are 150 local jobs. I’ve seen it too many times: administrators taking the easy option, shutting operations down and pushing regions like ours into economic freefall.
We’ve got serious buyers ready to go, but unless someone applies pressure, this mine could be mothballed and gutted without a second thought. No more excuses, no more backroom deals that rip the guts out of our communities.
I’m putting the Minister on notice – we won’t stand by while jobs, contracts and entire local economies are left to rot.
