LNP/ALP free trade deals costing us dearly
01 March 2018: Federal Member for Kennedy Hon Bob Katter slammed the Prime Minister in Question Time today asking when the ALP/LNP will leave the fantasy land of the ‘Sydney Suits’ and realise the ‘Struggle Street’ caused by free market fundamentalist.
The fiery session began with Mr Katter questioning what free trade has done for – or rather done to – Australia. Tensions soared as Mr Katter announced facts to back his claim of how free trade has destroyed Australian jobs, and asked when the ALP/LNP would realise the struggle they’ve imposed on Australians.
“Could you advise what free marketing has done for – or rather to – Australia?
Are you aware that the ALP/LNP free marketing of wool is 68% and a $16b loss, gas – sold offshore for 6c and now onshore we pay $16, that’s a $23b loss, motor vehicle industry another $21b gone, petrol (instead of ethanol) $19b loss, Galilee Coal Railline $12b.
That’s just five items equalling a $91b a year loss.
“When will you and the ALP leave the fantasy land of the ‘Sydney Suits’ and realise the ‘Struggle Street’ you’ve imposed on Australians?” Mr Katter asked.
It is not the first time Mr Katter has spoken on free trade this month; he ferociously delivered a message during the first week of Parliament, a video which has now gone “viral” online.
“What are the facts about our free-trade deals? The last one was with the United States. They wanted pharmaceuticals and they wanted phytosanitary quarantine removed. That was what they wanted. According to the Australian Financial Review, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian newspapers, we wanted dairy, beef and sugar.
“Did they get what they wanted? Yes. They got an open-door policy virtually for pharmaceuticals and for phytosanitary requirements quarantined. We have a board now which consists of half United States and half Australia. We pleaded with them not to allow the prawns in. If you allow prawns in, you will get white spot. Well, we got white spot, citrus canker, Panama disease, black sigatoka and papaya fruit fly. Our phytosanitary requirements are an absolute joke.
“What did the free-trade deal do for us? $91b a year gone,” Mr Katter said.
The thing Bob did not mention was Australia signing the 1975 LIMA Declaration. This is the mechanism with which the UN stripped Australia of it’s manufacturing ability and capacity. It was Australia moving from the independent age back to the the stone age.
The puppets are in place, ready to continue dancing to the strings of the NWO agenda and the continuing implication of Agenda21/30,if an intent was to destroy and tear the guts out of a country, those we have running things in Canberra are excelling at it.
Like a cancer they must be removed before it metastasises any further,most Australians, except the loony left have had enough, the people have to regain control of our country before it is too late, if it is not already.
Spot on Irene and now the US has slapped us with big tariffs on aluminium and iron ore. Trump is too smart for the Demoncrats and the Republican fifth column. He will make America great again at the expense of the brain-dead, free trading, deregulating Liberals and ALP. What a shame ALP PM Keating removed the offence of treason from the Crimes Act.Ed
As usual Annie you are very perceptive. Thankyou. Editor
Turnbull LNP HAS TO GO….!!He is a puppet for WHOEVER PULLS THE STRINGS..!!He and the ministers are NOT interested in SAVING OUR MOST QUALITY AND CLEAN PRODUCE….INSTEAD ALLOWING”FREE TRADE” WHICH BRINGS DISEASE AND CONTAMINATES OUR OWN INDUSTRIES…!!!!
The introduction of trade with Indonesia for DRAGONFRUIT MANGOES AND OTHER IMPORTS IS A GREAT RISK TO THESE FARMERS .PLUS THE ..LOSS IN REVENUE FOR THEM TO CONTINUE ……TURNBULL IS A HEADLESS CHARLATAN AND A PUPPET TO THE NWO…HE HAS TO GO…
I am so glad to see politicians speaking out for the good of our country.Bob Katter, Michaelia Cash on Shorten and his depravity. I wish more Aussies could see what is behind this loss of trade, pornographic trash on tv, Orwellian new council laws to be introduced in Victoria etc.It is all set out in Agenda 21/30.The socialists want to bring us down to the level of a 3rd world country and they are succeeding.The UN, George Sorus, Get Up, Labor, Turnbull and his Team, Daniel Andrews, and most Labor premiers,are all working to this plan, it is so obvious…they have to be stopped.
I don’t wonder where our tertiary industry went, I watched it go as the Howard Government reduced tariffs time and again. His insistence that we have a level playing field destroyed our manufacturing industries.
The situation as presented by Mr. Katter is unbelievable in that people get elected to make our lives better not worse. When the conditions are put in place that he speaks of those responsible should suffer real consequences. The Australia Act of 1987 is breathtaking and must be recinded. Every day these governments sit we lose yet more democracy.
