KAP RELOCATION POLICY PASSED BY QUEENSLAND PARLIAMENT

Nine years, 165 mentions in parliament, and a motion and now finally the KAP’s relocation sentencing policy has been adopted by the Queensland parliament, the KAP leader Robbie Katter has said.

The KAP first took relocation sentencing to the 2017 State Election, arguing repeat youth offenders needed to be removed from the environments driving their offending and placed into structured rehabilitation.

QUEENSLAND CAN’T AFFORD OLYMPICS WHILE COAL INDUSTRY, CREDIT RATING DECLINES

Queensland simply cannot afford the tens of billions the Olympics will cost, when the coal industry is being strangled by one of the highest top royalty rates in the developed world, and exports are on the decline, the KAP leader Robbie Katter has said, raising the issue in State Parliament today, and drawing attention to the S&P credit downgrade.

Last week S&P cut Queensland’s credit rating from AA+ to AA, noting it is “… our view that Queensland’s budgetary performance will remain weak over the next few years as the state ramps up its infrastructure spending, resulting in debt being structurally higher than in the past”.

SITUATION CRITICAL: PROPERTY RIGHTS, TRUST IN GOVERNMENT STEAMROLLED

The KAP are clearly now the only party in Queensland prepared to push back against big gas companies and stick up for the rights of farmers and indeed all landholders in Queensland, the KAP leader, Robbie Katter has said, after the Queensland government rammed through controversial laws enabling land to be resumed and handed to private developers.

The KAP opposed legislation that passed Queensland parliament with the LNP using their numbers to eliminate rights of appeal and allow entry to private property before an agreement is reached, all without any protections for prime agricultural land.

LANDHOLDER RIGHTS, EXTRAORDINARY GOVERNMENT POWERS QUESTIONED

When the government tables a bill allowing coal seam gas wells, solar farms and wind turbines to bulldoze their way through prime agriculture land, the red flags must be raised, The KAP leader, Robbie Katter has said, ahead of a community forum in Toowoomba on Thursday.

A collective of concerned local lobby groups has called a community forum in Toowoomba on Thursday to hear concerns from a wide spectrum of the community, from landholders, conservationists, and property rights advocates.

KATTER MINES “USE IT OR LOSE IT” STANCE FROM RESOURCES MINISTER

If Queensland is serious about controlling our resources, mining leaseholders must know that if they’re not going to use it, they’ll lose it. It was positive to hear the minister finally agree with our position on this today, and I’ll be making sure this doesn’t become another meaningless slogan, the Leader of the KAP, and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said.

The Natural Resources and Mines Minister, responding to sustained questioning from Mr Katter told the Primary Industries and Resources Committee budget estimates hearing that he and the Resources Cabinet Committee are looking at “use it or lose it provisions … we don’t want to see land-banking taking place and these projects just sitting there for decades like currently is the case.”

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, JUST ADD WATER, CUT RED, GREEN TAPE

Farmers and graziers across Queensland are bursting at the seams with potential, but until the policy settings around access to water and vegetation management, nothing will materialise, the Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said.

Mr Katter joined the North West Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils and mayors for their Disaster and Agriculture forum in Julia creek and heard of the opportunities and innovation that is ready to go.

TAKE THE ROYALTIES FOOT OFF THE THROAT OF QUEENSLAND JOBS

Thousands of high paying coal jobs remain on the brink while the LNP blindly continue Labor’s crippling royalties scheme, the Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said.

Mr Katter, speaking in Mackay sounded the alarm that while Queensland kept the developed world’s highest taxing coal royalty scheme in place, whole regions throughout Central Queensland are at risk of serious decline.

MORE AUSSIE FOOD PRODUCERS WITH BACK AGAINST THE WALL AS DANGEROUS IMPORTS FLOOD IN

Why are Australian farmers expected to meet some of the world’s toughest regulatory and food safety standards, while lower-cost imports can compete on the same supermarket shelf without being produced under the same standards? The Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has asked.

The peanut industry, predominantly based around Wide-Bay Burnett and Tablelands districts in Queensland, is at a crossroads, with only one processor left in Australia, and more reports of illegal imported peanuts putting the industry at risk from both disease and inferior quality cheap product.

LNP REFUSE TO TAKE INDIAN URANIUM RICHES

After seeing the Australian and Indian Prime Ministers shaking hands on a uranium agreement the Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has asked why Queensland can’t participate.

Australia and India have signed an historic Nuclear Cooperation Agreement allowing export of uranium from Australia to India. India used 1,884 tonnes of uranium in 2025, worth approximately $600 million.

GOVERNMENT INACTION TO REVERSE DEMISE OF AUSTRALIAN GROWN FOOD ON THE MENU EXPOSED

When you can’t order a single piece of Australian Seafood at the pub, that’s when you know the Woke brigade are winning in their quest to shut down the Australian food industry. Yet the Queensland government is refusing to act – aligning themselves with Labor’s ideologically driven quest, the Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said.

“Thanks to KAP’s seafood labelling push we can now see where the seafood at restaurants around Australia is from, but it sure paints an ugly picture,” he said.
