Dyno Nobel have announced to the ASX that Mayfair Australia Corporation will be acquiring the plant, securing 540 jobs.

“Phosphate Hill is more than just a mine in our area, it’s an integral part of a wider industrial ecosystem,” Mr Katter said. 

HOME GROWN FUEL SECURITY OPPORTUNITY STILL UNTAPPED

It’s mind-blowing to know we can grow our own fuel, ethanol, with sugar cane and grain, yet we are told to helplessly brace for skyrocketing fuel prices because of the Middle East war, the Leader of the Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said. 

In his now 14 years in the Queensland Parliament Mr Katter has fervently pushed for ethanol mandates and incentives to drive the industry and build capacity to produce Australian grown and manufactured fuel.

WORLD DESPERATE FOR QUEENSLAND RESOURCES, LNP GOVERNMENT STILL SAYS NO!

The LNP Government in Queensland is blindly holding sticking to their long-held woke position alongside Labor that Queensland’s rich uranium resources should be locked away underground, at a time when Europe is turning back to nuclear, The Leader of the Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said.

The President of the European Commission has recently said Europe turning their back on nuclear power was a “strategic mistake for Europe”, triggering reports of the Bank of America forecasting the potential for uranium spot prices to reach US$135/lb by the end of the year, nearing record high prices.

COMMUNITY RALLIES AGAINST CHARTERS TOWERS HOUSING DESTRUCTION

Passionate Charters Towers locals, with only 24 hours’ notice rallied at the site of the former Eventide Aged Care units to join Robbie Katter MP in calling out the galling insanity of housing units being bulldozed in the middle of an acute housing crisis. 

Mr Katter addressed the crowd, saying there was no need for this destruction, given there is a developer ready to step in and convert the units for housing, at no cost to the taxpayer.

CONFUSION REIGNS ON COPPERSTRING OWNERSHIP

I don’t get it – will Queenslanders own CopperString, or will the industry and job creating project be sold off to a multinational like Glencore who only have the interests of their boardroom at heart? Katter’s Australian Party Leader, and Member for Traeger has said.

Mr Katter asked the Treasurer and Energy Minister in Parliament last sitting week if he would categorically rule out handing the CopperString project to private ownership, to which the Treasurer answered “…we are absolutely determined to keep state involvement, state ownership and a state management process involved…”

EVERY QUEENSLANDER’S DEMOCRATIC RIGHT IN QUESTION

“We’ve just seen a huge national debate play out in the Federal Parliament around free speech, and the state government have a chance to make amends for their federal colleagues voting to curtail free speech.  The irony can’t be lost that a party that would typically be associated with free speech are now pioneers of denying the same right in one of our most important arenas,” the Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) leader and State Member for Traeger said. 

BOARDER CONTROL, BIOSECURITY IN TATTERS

Despite 1.3 billion dollars of Australian’s taxes being spent on so-called border control Torres Strait locals have contacted me, and local media are reporting fishermen from Indonesia casually coming ashore and ordering a beer after brazenly illegally fishing in our waters.

What sort of show are we running in this country?  

Thank goodness these fellas were ‘just fishermen’.  

2032 BRISBANE PARTY PUTS REST OF QUEENSLAND BACK IN THE DARK AGES

They’re delusional!  Even the Olympics boss is now saying there’s no hope of delivering in the budget, Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) Leader, and Member for Traeger has said. 

This week, Brisbane Olympics chief Andrew Liveris said, “The costing out of that [means] we have the bid budget and that bears no resemblance to reality, especially right now.”

“When even the boss himself is calling it out, it’s time that the Brisbane Government come clean and tell Queenslanders that they have been sold a dud, and for good measure, they’ll have to wait another six years before you’ll see any construction outside the Brisbane Bubble,” Mr Katter said. 

RIVERS OF OPPORTUNITY LOST – MEASURE WATER PROPERLY, BUILD DAMS, DEVELOP NORTH QUEENSLAND

The latest floods have again shown that the ‘data’ used by the bureaucrats in Brisbane for all things water is farcical, or terribly inaccurate at best, The Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) Leader, and Member for Traeger has said. 

Mr Katter has again seen first-hand the vast inland sea that is very slowly making its way north to the Gulf of Carpentaria.

“The Department simply have no idea how much water there is!  They’re the same Department who openly say there isn’t enough water to release to farmers,” Mr Katter said.

‘A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE’ – OPPORTUNE TIME FOR FERAL PIG ACTION

Landholders are the kings of practical actions that make the most of any situation, The Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) Leader, and Member for Traeger has said. 

Mr Katter toured extensively through the flood ravaged areas of Traeger over the last four days.

“I was in a grazier’s chopper being shown around, and he made the clear observation that like the surviving cattle, wild pigs are corralling on the islands that have formed in the inland sea that is the flood water,” the KAP Leader said.
