Why is it such a big deal when there’s a contest of ideas? @karlstefanovic interviews @TRobinsonNewEra and he’s cancelled? Our nation was built of free speech. I want that back.
#debate
A Parliament that’s gagged isn’t a democracy.
The LNP shut down debate because it was politically inconvenient. That sets a dangerous precedent.
This Tuesday I’m moving to lift the gag — not about abortion, but about democracy.
Let MPs speak
#qldpol #Democracy #FreeSpeech
Where does the LNP stand on Castle Law and real Croc management? They're running scared, gagging debate. While Mark Molachino pushes Castle Law, North Shore Interchange, and real solutions for North Queensland, they'll do anything they can to deceive Hinchinbrook voters. We want a debate on policy, not petty games.
VOICE TO PARLIAMENT BY STEALTH
Queenslanders voted no to the Voice — loud and clear. But the Government’s doing it anyway.
While crime runs rampant and the cost of living soars, they’re busy building more bureaucracy to do what a good local MP should already be doing.
Katter’s Australian Party has always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with First Australian communities — delivering title deeds, home ownership and real opportunity, not more departments and red tape.
We don’t need a new “voice” for a chosen few — we need government to listen to all Queenslanders, equally.
Enough of the token gestures. Let’s get back to real representation. 🇦🇺
Doesn’t matter who’s in charge, Liberal or Labor, they’re all still taking orders from Treasury.
Trade deals first. Aussie industry last.
Manufacturing gone, farming smashed, power bills soaring.
Time for a gas reserve policy & a bit of 🇦🇺 Australia First thinking again.
#auspol #australiafirst
We should be #proud to wave our #Australian flag not be condemned. We should be calling out when it’s burned on the harbor bridge.
@marchforaus
I’m attending @marchforaus on Sunday in Brisbane. Are you? If not, why not? We cannot keep letting our Australian values be demonised and have our #flag being burned.
I declared to #queenslandparliament that we need to stop unchecked mass-#immigration
#massimmigration #Australia
The party games have started — and the LNP are leading the charge.
They chased our candidate, then turned around and attacked him.
North Queensland deserves honesty, not Brisbane party lies.
#HinchinbrookByElection 💪🇦🇺 #KAP #auspol
It’s a sad day for #queensland when both @LNPQLD and @QLDLabor sit idly by while multinational @Glencore (@GlencoreAus) decides to close a #copper mine that a conga line of others want to mine. Does @AlboMP want a future made in Australia or imported skyrocketing prices?
My piece in today’ @tsv_bulletin: AUSTRALIA MUST OWN ITS FUTURE
Leaders lead, they don’t follow.
Will our leaders fight for our future or will they acquiesce to global powers? @DavidCrisafulli @AlboMP

Powerlink is being paid by the people of Queensland to do one thing and one thing only - build CopperString. Not adjudicate, not negotiate and certainly not to get in the way of its progress. Build the thing or give the project back to the Qld Govt so someone else can. We don't have time to waste. #copperstring #kapteam #qldpol

What is it they say? Go woke, go.....? Looks like the people have spoken. Love a Great Northern but its owners should know national parks in the North are better known as ecological wastelands where feral pests run rampant, fireload conditions are at their worst and people - including First Australians - are locked out from using the land for economic prosperity, employment and enjoyment. Don't lock up the bush! #KAPteam #qldpol
The front page of today's @couriermail. The harm and suffering Qld's health system has subject some of most vulnerable young people as a result of the "gender affirmation" approach will one day be something we look back on and hang our heads in shame. Many a time over recent years have I raised this issue in the Parliament and been shouted down by Labor & the Greens and ignored by the LNP. Now they are in charge I hope they find the weatherall to do what's right. Puberty blockers and "gender-affirming" hormone treatments for children need to be immediately banned. #KAPteam #qldpol

Less buying of airline debt, and more buying of airlines, in my opinion. We had a national carrier once, remember that? Those were the days. We need to stop putting good money after bad. Rex is not the only player that can service rural and remote air routes, and our governments need to get creative finding the right fit if Rex can't get the job done. #KAPteam #qldpol

A Glencore and Rio Tinto merger, if it ever did materialise, would totally sideline Australia and our strategic assets. Are we going to be beholden to overseas interests and let big companies hold on to our resources (case in point, Mount Isa Mines) or are we going to do what's best for Australia? #KAPteam #qldpol

$2b on the table to protect a critical mineral but only if Australia's aluminum industry "goes green". You have to wonder where our governments priorities lie. Global demand for aluminum and copper are sky high, and we can provide massive amounts for global and domestic supply and yet no one sees this as a standalone strategic imperative. Six months until our third largest copper mine closes in Mount Isa. It's time to put our interests first. #kapteam #qldpol
Nice to have the PM @AlboMP in the Isa today but would like to see his key priorities include the CopperString build and addressing risks around the sovereignty of our critical minerals. The closure of the MIM copper mine & direct loss of 1,200 jobs flies in the face of any commitments made by the Feds to protect these essential assets. Might need to make sure MIM's closure is high up on the priority list, hey Albo? #qldpol
I’m still in disbelief at the events of parliament today.
The KAP will continue to fight to protect the rights of all Queenslanders
BREAKING: @DavidCrisafulli has just passed a motion banning any bill on abortion over the next 4 years. Not only is this fundamentally anti-democratic, it is also potentially unconstitutional. And most importantly it completely abandons QLD newborns who are left to die if they survive their abortion and QLD babies who can be killed right up until birth under current law.
Questions remain: will @QLDLabor and @LNPQLD support protecting human rights of living babies, or will they shy away from the big questions and let breathing babies be left alone to die?
Today, ACL’s Qld Director, Rob Norman, spoke to Robbie Katter MP about the parliamentary inquiry into his Live Birth Amendment Bill, which aims to protect the rights of babies born alive following an abortion procedure.
