KAP Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter has called on Australians to contact their local politicians and give them ‘The Request’- to support the Banking Royal Commission/Commission of Inquiry.
A Newspoll released today shows that sitting member for Dawson, LNP George Christensen is neck to neck with One Nation, which places him on a suicide mission if he does not cross the floor to support Katters bill for a Royal Commission.
Although 68 per cent of voters in Dawson support the Royal Commission, they haven’t yet realised One Nation is now another branch of the Liberal Party and will not support the inquiry.
George would be best placed for his longevity in Parliament to support Katter and join his party.
PM Malcolm Turnbull and his Cabinet, including Barnaby Joyce have been instructed by the Australian Bankers Association new chairman, Anna Bligh (ex Qld ALP Premier), to prevent a Royal Commission from going ahead.
Bligh is simply reinforcing a long-held policy of the ABA and the Liberals.
Only the executive arm of Government can call for a Royal Commission, so a Commission of Inquiry is being pursued with all the powers of a Royal Commission, but it will report to the Parliament, instead of the executive arm of Government.
To become law the Commission of Inquiry will require two members of the Government in the lower house to cross the floor. The Federal Member for Dawson, George Christensen has publicly stated he will support a Commission of Inquiry – so one more Government MP’s vote is required for the bill to pass.
“So we just need one more. There is only one language politicians understand and that is ‘we are going to get you, we are going to get rid of you at the next election’,” Mr Katter said.
“We have had 100s of people from all over Australia ringing my office and demanding a Royal Commission into the banks – which we already support and we introduced Commission of Inquiry legislation last year.
“So from now on we are telling them to put ‘The Request’ to their local Federal Member of Parliament and get three people to do the same. Those three people are then asked to get another three people each, who then get another three people….and so it continues.
“I’m telling Australians to contact their local Federal Member of Parliament and say ‘are you voting to support this?’ If the Local Federal Member is not supporting the Royal Commission into the Banks then say, ‘we officially inform you that we are working to get rid of you at the next election’. It is not about saying we support someone else, it is just that we are getting rid of you.
“80% of the Australian people want a Royal Commission into the banks. It is a litmus test really on whether you are there to represent and protect the established order, or if you are there to represent the people. This could not be a more clear cut case.
“It is quite clear to me that George Christensen is a man of integrity and will cross the floor, as he has done before. He is a Lone Ranger. Not another soul from the ALP or LNP has crossed the floor in the last 20 years.
“Depending on definition there has been between 15 and 38 inquiries since 2010. But the savagery of a Royal Commission and its powers can’t be ignored. I never regretted the Royal Commission in QLD, even though it cost me and my Country Party greatly and many innocents were burned. Even though we never put the bad guys in gaol, we did remove their protection and destroyed the corruption. This is what a Royal Commission brings.
Australians can find out who their local Federal Member of Parliament is on the following website which has a search function to search by electorate, postcode or politicians name: http://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Members
I don’t care who does it as long as it’s done.
Mike you should do your homework on Pauline and Ashby. Just scroll back a few pages to see how she voted in the senate on what were once four old-style One Nation policies. We have done our research. Katter also made comments in the media about Pauline dumping key policies. Oh and we deleted the Soros story even though it was sent to us by a US correspondent who has been most reliable to date. Thanks Ed
So you are subscribing to this bullshit about One Nation being another LNP?
Normally your reports are spot on, but lately you’ve failed miserably. Yesterday it was the fake news about Soros being arrested. It took me less than a minute to check the veracity of that. Why couldn’t you have done the same?
No you are spreading this bullshit about One Nation and the LNP. Obviously you don’t understand how politics work.
One Nation is a minority party in WA. They are up against the ALP/Greens and the LNP. If Pauline doesn’t preference the LIBS and the ALP/Greens get more votes than the LIBS then they will win form a government. But if the Libs get the One Nation preferences they could beat the Lab/Greens. So it makes sense that Pauline would choose to work with the lesser of 3 evils.
If One Nation gets more votes than the Libs, then all the LIBS preferences go to One Nation, and that could well be enough to push them over the line to form a government.
Think about it. And please do your homework. We shouldn’t have to fact check you, or be confused by your muddled thinking.

He probably will, but Katter has the only bill before parliament, that will be supported by the ALP and Greens.Ed
Eon a Royal Commission will put the banks in the same position as the Catholic Church are now, end of story.
Do you realise how hard it will be to find lawyers who do not owe the banks money in some regard or another.
I trust this will be a criteria in selecting the commission board.
But in all reality in the finish the lawyers will make a mint and nothing will change.
The banks will still be above the law as they are now.

If you want a banking Royal Commission like I do the quickest way would be to get George to cross the floor and support Labor who would then I think have the numbers.
