  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

  • Robbie Katter
    Speech by Robbie Katter MEMBER FOR MOUNT ISA Hansard Wednesday, 30 May 2012 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr KATTER (Mount Isa—KAP) (5.30 pm): May I firstly make the House aware of the immense respect that I have for the role that has been entrusted to me by the people of the Mount Isa electorate. I extend that same respect to all other members within the House who have made the brave step of standing up for something they believe in and who have also worked hard to earn the trust of their own people. In our future dealings together I will always be mindful of the fact that politics is a competition of our ideas and all within this chamber will be working for what they believe is in the best interests of the state. I should also acknowledge the efforts of those other candidates for the seat of Mount Isa and my predecessors who should be considered at the very least strong contributors to their community. I also acknowledge my colleague Shane Knuth, who I am just old enough to have played footy with in younger days. He has shown immense courage to follow the hard road that he felt was the right thing to do. I must thank those people who have played a strong part in my being here today and in my campaign: first and foremost my parents, Bob and Susie, and my sisters Eliza, Mary Jane, Caroline, Olivia; my brother-in-law Rob Nioa and his family Will, Tom and Kate and all the many cousins who formed part of my campaign army.

  • Queensland Election Analysis 30 October 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: Queensland Election Analysis 30 October 2020 Overview The Queensland election will be held on Saturday, 31 October 2020. The current Australian Labor Party Government holds 48 of the 93 seats in the Assembly and the Liberal-National Party holds 38. The LNP needs to win 9 seats to form a majority government. On the crossbench, Katter’s Australian Party holds three seats and One Nation, the Greens, North Queensland First all hold one seat each. There is one Independent Member. Background Since 1989, the ALP has only been out of Government in Queensland for a total of five years. A record number of minor parties and candidates are running in this election. Queensland is the only unicameral state in Australia, having abolished the upper chamber in 1922. The Assembly currently has 93 Members, elected through a full preferential voting system, with this election marking the beginning of four year terms with a fixed date (the last Saturday of October every four years). Opinion Polls Newspoll results from 9 October to 14 October show the ALP and LNP with the same primary vote of 37 per cent. In the two-party preferred vote, the ALP leads with 52 per cent to the Coalition’s 48 per cent. A Roy Morgan Poll in Queensland has Labor ahead of the LNP 51 per cent to 49 per cent in two-party preferred. The same poll said that people support the ongoing border closure with NSW 53 per cent to 47 per cent. The highest support was from those under 35 years old.

  • Robbie Katter Takes the Reins of the KAP
    3/02/2020 Robbie Katter takes the reins of the KAP The long term vision and success of Katter’s Australian Party has been bolstered with Robbie Katter stepping up and taking the leadership from his father Bob Katter Jnr. The State Member for Traeger said he’d been eager to inject himself into the political game at a high level. “I’ve been champing at the bit, waiting to unleash, and now I’ve been passed the ball I’m ready to run through the gap,” Robbie Katter said. “Australian politics needs street fighters and we will continue that effort. “Queensland needs someone not to talk about the Bradfield Scheme but to build it. “Under new leadership we will steam roll October’s State Elections and come out in a position of influence. “We will build Bradfield, a rail line to the Galilee Basin and introduce relocation sentencing for youth offenders. “The people of regional Queensland are demanding a new deal.” Outgoing KAP leader and Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter Jnr. said it was time Robbie stepped up to the plate and forcefully took the party leadership. “To our enemies, this will free up time for me to go after your heads, and to ensure this nation is built the way it was meant to be built,” Bob Katter Jnr. said. “We may be going through the worst period of unfairness since the First World War. “And I quote the great Australian Henry Lawson in his poem ‘Freedom of the Wallaby.’ “We'll make the tyrants feel the sting O' those that they would throttle; They needn't say the fault is ours If blood should stain the wattle!" “In my book ‘An Incredible Race of People, A Passionate History of Australia’ I said, my problem is not that I have had to witness and suffer the rise of the Lilliputians, but my problem is that I had once walked with giants.

I have been immensely proud to represent the electorate of Traeger and liaise with all levels of government, organisations and individuals to work together towards our goals. I hope I receive the honour of continuing to serve my electorate at the election. Please find attached my key priorities to resuscitate the local economy and build a safer and stronger future for constituents, with particular focus on roads, living affordability, and an overall priority to create jobs. I am committed to endeavouring to acknowledge and address a wide range of issues affecting Traeger and believe everyone should felt heard in helping shape the future of North Queensland and beyond. While we appreciate Planning Institute Australia is seeking responses to its three key priorities, we will not be able to provide specific responses at this time. Katter’s Australian Party is a minor party with a small number of sitting MPs, candidates and resources, and as such, it does not take up policy positions for all organisations. I trust the information provided will suffice in sharing my commitments and approach with your members.
