🏡 Home ownership on the horizon in Dajarra
📸 Pictured: Uncle Denis, who recently paid off his home in Cloncurry through Indigenous Business Australia (IBA). His story shows it can be done and it’s a powerful example for other locals looking to take that step.
After spending time in Dajarra recently, it was clear to me there’s a real appetite among locals to own their own homes.
That’s why it was great to see IBA make the trip out last week. IBA is a government organisation that helps First Australians people build wealth through home ownership, business support and investment opportunities.
They held a face-to-face forum with the community in Dajarra to walk through the options, answer questions, and show how people can take the next step towards owning their own home.
Owning your own home shouldn’t just be a dream for people in the big cities it should be a reality for families right across the bush.

🏛 Back in the days of the Roman Empire, when things were crumbling, they built coliseums and put on games to distract people. And here we are in Queensland: our industries are collapsing, the third biggest industrial facility in the state under threat in Mount Isa, jobs disappearing in coal, copper, and phosphate and yet all the talk is about Olympic Games.
We’re losing focus. Instead of nurturing industry, backing jobs, and creating wealth, governments are distracted by bells and whistles. Meanwhile, biofuels, rail, utilities, and value-adding opportunities sit there ready to be built but no one in Brisbane or Canberra seems to want to act.
That’s why I believe so strongly in Katter's Australian Party. We don’t just want to save what we’ve got we want to reform and grow it. Queensland’s future depends on it.

🎲🎲 More Brisbane, Less Queensland
The redistribution is threatening a raw deal for the bush.
More seats for Brisbane, fewer up north, that’s what Labor did last time, and now the LNP are pushing the same line.
A smaller population doesn’t mean less importance. North Queensland still powers this state, mining, farming, fishing, manufacturing and if we lose our voice in Parliament, those industries lose too.
The Brisbane parties do their best to axe a KAP seats, because they don’t want a third force fighting for the regions.
Katter's Australian Party will always fight to build things up while the majors let them slip away.
