25.01.2022 This is what the major parties have allowed to happen. More than DOUBLE the size of Victoria has a level of foreign ownership when it comes to agricultural land in Australia. What sort of governments allow their country to be sold off like this? It's disgusting and it has to stop before it's too late. Remember this the next time you enter a ballot box. Stop the sell off!!! #KAP #KAPteam #StopTheSellOff

25.01.2022 A new campaign which claims to be about preventing bullying against LGBTQI+ kids in schools also suggests schools avoid gendered language like "mum" and "dad". We took this straight from their campaign website. We do not support bullying. We are sick of everyone being bullied into changing their language. #KAP #KAPteam

22.01.2022 According to the Foreign Investment Review Board, as of June 30, 2020, 13.8% of Australian agricultural land was foreign owned. How can the people in the major parties who allowed this to happen sleep at night? We lose sleep over this stuff! Which is why our MPs get up every day to fight for a better Australia....

20.01.2022 We've had enough of cancel culture. If we continue cancelling things every time someone gets offended, we will all end up sitting at home all day not allowed to speak! #KAP #KAPteam #cancelculture

20.01.2022 We are so sorry to learn of the passing of Kristina Townsend. Kristina was a wonderful person and mother, and gave up much of her time to support KAP. We are very thankful for everything she did for KAP. We can't imagine the grief of her family and friends right now. Please consider supporting them by making a small donation to a fundraiser set up to assist her husband and two young children. Click the link below. ... Vale Kristina, and God Bless. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kristina-townsend-and-her-y

20.01.2022 Katter's Australian Party and our Federal Member for Kennedy Bob Katter welcome the Prime Minister's announcement that a Royal Commission into veteran suicides will be established. "More of our soldiers, navy and air force personnel are dying at home than they are in combat. This is simply not the way we should be treating those who serve our country," Bob Katter said. "Julie-Anne Finney, Senator Jacqui Lambie, Heston Russell and many other veterans and advocates have been ca...mpaigning for a long time for this. "My hope and prayer is that we will get real outcomes out of this Royal Commission. The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) needs a major overhaul. We need proper transition programs for when people leave the military. "A magic wand will not work in this situation. There are real answers, but it requires radical action. This Royal Commission will help find those answers." Mr Katter said. If you are a current or former ADF member, or a relative, and need counselling or support, please contact the Defence All-Hours Support Line on 1800 628 036 or Open Arms on 1800 011 046. Support is also available from Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467 Authorised by R.

16.01.2022 KAP's Member for Hill Shane Knuth MP is warning the state government there would be serious consequences if there was blanket legislation put in place on the control of recreational feral pig hunting, under the pretence of the recently announced review of the Queensland’s Animal Care and Protection Act 2001. Mr Knuth expressed deep concerns about the over-reach of government into the private domain and fears the review is due to the recent case of where a Toowoomba woman wa...Continue reading

10.01.2022 Labor can't be trusted when it comes to coal. According to the latest media reports, Labor's federal opposition resources spokeswoman Madeleine King now says Labor DOES support coal. But this flies in the face of previous statements and actions by her Labor colleagues. KAP Leader Robbie Katter MP said this was just another example of a major party telling people what they want to hear. "Labor is only interested supporting coal to secure votes. Is this going to be a repeat of... when Julia Gillard promised there would be no carbon tax under her government? Mr Katter said. The true test of this will be implementing actual policy that supports Australia’s coal industry for as long as the demand is there, like building a government-owned rail-way into the Galilee Basin. #KAP #KAPteam #coal

05.01.2022 Wouldn't it be great if we had a visionary, forward-thinking person who had huge plans that would benefit all Australians in charge of Australia Post? Oh, wait. We did. Christine Holgate was an outstanding CEO of Australia Post. Her visionary thinking included considering Australia Post taking over the NBN, AND creating an Australia Post Bank. According to reporting in The Australian, this would have been done in conjunction with ME Bank, which at the time of her thinking wa...s owned by super funds. Hmmm...a CEO who essentially wants to create an Australian Bank to benefit Australians. We all know the major parties are in bed with the big banks, so we'll let you do the rest of the math. #KAP #KAPteam

04.01.2022 A Townsville mother who witnessed a shocking incident where 12 youths went wild at a McDonalds has revealed she has a self-imposed curfew for fear of getting caught up in crime in the northern city. KAP's Nick Dametto MP said it was "absolutely horrifying" the woman had a self-imposed curfew of not driving around the city after 4:30pm because of crime. Mr Dametto said he was shocked to read a report in local media which quoted Mel Houston after she witnessed a disturbing atta...ck on Willows McDonald’s by youths on Monday night. Ms Houston said she had regretted breaking her 4:30pm rule in order to avoid getting caught up in dangerous situations like the one she witnessed. This is not the Bronx. This is not South-Central LA. This is not Mexico. People in Townsville should be free to drive, walk or travel through Townsville past 4:30pm and in fact, at any time, Mr Dametto said. What Mel went through would be traumatic for any parent. She was surrounded by these thugs after McDonald’s locked down. Thank God her and her daughters were not attacked. Mr Dametto said no law-abiding citizen should ever feel the need to lock themselves down.. But unfortunately, that’s what we’re seeing. People forced to live like prisoners in their homes because the State Labor Government refuses to take real action on these young criminals, he said. The arrogance of Labor is just disgusting. They are prepared to let North Queenslanders suffer because they think the voters endorsed their policies on crime when the reality was it was their response to COVID-19 that won it for them. Nothing else. Any one in that government, including Townsville’s three Labor MPs, are kidding themselves if they think this crime situation is acceptable. People are living in fear. Mr Dametto said Katter’s Australian Party had drafted strong amendments to the government’s Youth Justice Bill, which is currently under review by Parliament’s Legal Affairs and Safety Committee. The KAP’s amendments will institute a minimum of 12 months imprisonment to be served wholly in a corrective services facility (detention centre or approved remote property) for recidivist young offenders who commit either Unlawful use or possession of motor vehicles, aircraft or vessel, Burglary and Entering or being in premises and committing indictable offences. The amendments will also define a recidivist offender as someone who has been convicted of those serious offences at least twice, regardless of whether the offences were the same. We believe these are the measures required for a real change to curb the youth crime crisis affecting the North,’ Mr Dametto said. The KAP will not stop in its fight to improve community safety for law abiding residents. #KAP #KAPteam #crime

01.01.2022 We're glad the government ditched the coronavirus-looking design for its new Australian national brand. And we are still disgusted they spent millions of dollars of YOUR money designing it. They said they planned to redesign. Imagine what they might come up with next?! Just stick with the kangaroo logo. It's iconic. And doesn't cost $10 million. Let them know you don't want another cent wasted on another ridiculous design. https://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au//bf65434a1c7eee020...0ead7c #KAP #KAPteam
