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.
YOU CAN’T HAVE A CRITICAL MINERALS BOOM WITHOUT COPPERSTRING.
The North West Minerals Province is being talked about globally again for its copper, uranium and critical minerals potential.
But none of it reaches full value if we can’t properly power the region.
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, CopperString is the key that unlocks the North West.
That’s why I’ve urged the Premier to demand Canberra jointly fund the connection of Mount Isa to the National Electricity Market.
Without that certainty, investment decisions will stall, projects will be shelved, and the North West will continue to struggle despite sitting on one of the richest mineral provinces in the world.
But while the world moves fast, Queensland keeps moving slow.
If governments are serious about critical minerals and regional jobs, then stop talking and start delivering the infrastructure that actually makes it possible.

NOW WE’RE IMPORTING MORE SEAFOOD WHILE REGIONAL INDUSTRIES ARE BEING WIPED OUT BY POLITICAL DECISIONS MADE IN BRISBANE.
Australian Labor Party brought the bans in. The LNP - Liberal National Party finished the job.
And North Queensland is paying the price.
Spoke with Paul on 4BC Brisbane Radio about the real fallout from the gillnet bans.
This wasn’t just about fishermen.
Commercial fishing kept kids in schools, businesses open and money flowing through Gulf communities.
When you kill an industry, you kill a town.
