KAP issue live export warning to Labor

May 11, 2022

Kennedy MP, Bob Katter, has fired a warning shot at Labor that he will become ‘extremely hostile’ if they win Government and attempt to close the live export industry.


Media reports state live sheep exports would be banned by a federal Labor government, but the party will not confirm a time frame for its plan.[1]

“I warn the ALP that the last time they closed the live animal trade I played a key role in getting rid of their leader Julia Gillard,” Bob Katter said.


“Kevin Rudd got back in as PM and the market reopened to Indonesia. I don’t have many sheep in my electorate, but I am serving notice on the ALP. Remember what happened last time.


“I would like to know what industries we are going to have left under the major parties. They are both planning to close down coal mining with their net zero by 2050 commitments. Now, Labor is talking about closing sheep exports, where will they go to next?


“They are so spiritually and intellectually bankrupt that they keep going on with this rubbish. Queensland has the four C’s, copper, cane, coal and cattle. You destroy them and you haven’t got much left.


“If we get our dam schemes up at Hells Gates, Charters Towers and Hughenden we will increase our cattle numbers and be able to open two or three meatworks, but at the moment the northern cattle industry is reliant on live export.”


KAP Candidate for Herbert, Clynton Hawks, said live export is the lifeblood of the North Queensland cattle industry with over 395 thousand cattle exported in the 2019-2020 financial year.

 

“It is quite clear the live export industry boosts the North Queensland economy,” he said.

 

“We cannot risk Labor banning the live export trade out of the port of Townsville, this would have devastating effects on not only the live export industry but also the future of the Port.

 

“Labor will be condemned if it goes down this road and destroys our live export trade. The Katter’s Australian Party is the only party standing up for primary industry.”

 

“Where do the ALP candidates for Herbert and Kennedy stand on this issue?”

Cairns Post: Flydubai terror suspect radicalised in Australia, posted sick rants about women

October 12, 2026
Radicalisation is happening NOW in Australia. If the alleged terrorist was radicalised in Australia… The threat is frankly, not only at our doorstep, it’s in our house! If this is not a warning shot that government needs to better protect our borders than what will be? For too long our government has allowed hatred and extremism to persist... branding anyone that speaks against such groups as ‘racist’ and ‘far right’. Australia should be a land of hope not hate... a land of opportunity… freedom … and fun. Government immediately stop allowing extremism under the guise of multiculturalism. Stop allowing those that hate our society and our way of life to live on our shores. Instead welcome those who value our cultures and beliefs.

Always a great time with Shane Knuth MP and some legends of the North!

PODCAST: Dont say that!

Woke, identity politics is killing Australia. We’re free. We’re capable of responsibility. We know who we. We know what we want to do. Stop telling us what we can and can’t do, and who we should and shouldn’t be.

PODCAST: Australia is for sale... just not to First Australians

October 3, 2026
Mythical ‘tribal’ groups own millions of hectares across Australia. Sure these groups earn millions in administration, houses and limited community facilities are built, but no individual title deeds are ever available. Not one single First Australian can own their own house on community lands. They can’t renovate or improve with pride, they can’t start a business, they can’t use the equity in their house as collateral… they have absolutely no means to improve their families finances unless they leave the region they call home. Successive governments keep throwing money at these communities but they will not remove the economic handcuffs that would allow businesses to grow, and homes and businesses to be built with pride through hard work and sacrifice.

CAIRNS POST: RBA hits battered Aussies with fourth rate hike blow

AUSTRALIA NEEDS TO BETTER USE OUR GREAT MINERAL, AGRICULTURAL AND LAND WEALTH Australia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Our mineral resources are vast. Our agricultural potential is huge. We have millions of hectares of land unutilised or under-utilised. Australians should be swimming in wealth …. NOT drowning in debt. Successive governments have slowed our economy to a grinding halt in a ruthless pursuit of a WOKE agenda. A REVOLUTION is coming… Australians are starting to fight back against the corporate and political elite that have sold and squandered our great Nation. It’s about time that government starts governing for the betterment of Australians or GET OUT and let the independent fighters that TRUELY represent their electorates and Australia have a go!!!!
