Bob takes a break and pours a few at the Silkwood Hotel while inspecting flood damage following the recent inundation of the Far North
Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter, together with Hinchinbrook MP, Nick Dametto, has welcomed the activation of Category D Disaster Recovery Grants of up to $75,000 for impacted farmers following the devastating North Queensland floods, attributing full thanks to the sheer determination and unrelenting fight of local leaders and industry champions.
More than $50 million in extraordinary disaster recovery packages were also announced to support North Queensland’s recovery, jointly funded by the Albanese and Crisafulli Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
The package includes increased grants of up to $75,000 for primary producers, $50,000 for small businesses and not-for-profits, as well as funding for councils and community facilities across the region to assist with clean-up, land repairs, and long-term reconstruction.
At a press conference in Ingham today, Mr Katter extended his heartfelt thanks to the dedicated locals who refused to take no for an answer.
“I want to thank Leah Russo, Grower Director with Canegrowers, for her tireless advocacy and sharp focus on what her growers needed,” he said.
“Shane McCarthy, President of AgForce Queensland, was relentless in keeping the pressure on and making sure the voice of agriculture couldn’t be ignored.
“Lawrence Di Bella, QCAR Herbert District Manager, provided firsthand evidence of the destruction and losses, making the case for support undeniable.
“And I pay special tribute to Robert Lyon, a Herbert River district cane grower, who fought like a tiger for his community. He made sure the reality on the ground was heard loud and clear in Brisbane and Canberra.”
Mr Katter also praised the leadership of Hinchinbrook Mayor Ramon Jayo and KAP State Member for Hinchinbrook Nick Dametto.
“Ramon Jayo stood tall for his people every step of the way, and Nick Dametto was a bulldog in Brisbane, ensuring the fight stayed front and centre,” Mr Katter said.
“The combined effort of these people—and their refusal to back down—delivered this outcome. Without them, we’d still be stuck in the bureaucratic mud.
“We thank the Prime Minister and the Minister, but I want to be very clear, it is because of this group of people with a tiger in their tank —that the grants have finally been delivered.
“The people of Hinchinbrook and the Herbert can take heart that their fighters on the ground never stopped swinging.”
Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto said after the region had suffered the largest flooding event in over 50 years, it would come as a great relief to those who are eligible for the increased grant funding.
“These grants will provide a leg up for many small businesses, primary producers and community organisations to assist them to rebuild at a time when it can feel like they have lost everything,” he said.
“I would like to thank all those who have advocated and worked towards this important outcome for our district.”
Mr Katter stressed the need for faster action in future disasters.
“We all know North Queenslanders are resilient, but we shouldn’t have to fight this hard or wait this long.
“When you’ve got crops in the ground rotting and machinery out of action, decisions should be made in days—not dragged out over weeks.”
Mr Katter vowed to keep pushing for a more responsive disaster funding system that treats North Queenslanders with the urgency and respect they deserve.
“But today, we celebrate the win—and we thank the fighters who never gave up.”
The CASH in folks hands is the ONLY answer – forget all the BS – how many flood and fire victims of years past have seen any of the hand outs – F@#$ all YOUR HONOUR. Forget all the grand standing – when a polly says something you know they are lying when their lips move !!

The idea of excess carbon dioxide is a lie that’s repeated probably on an hourly basis by the ALP’s totally corrupt ABC-TV. If there was more carbon dioxide the plants would take it up. I once worked out if you took the whole atmosphere which weighs 1 bar or whatever it was in pascals, and converted it all to water weighing the same, the water would be the height of a two-storey building. Of that the CO2 is .04% that is 4mm. This is the reserve the plants ( and planktons ) are working from, if it goes to zero they all die.
On the other side, the fake equation says the 4mm is supposedly heating up and cooking the planet, which has a crust some kilometres deep of rock. Is the CO2 red hot ??? even if it was it would take probably centuries to raise the actual planet temperature by one degree because it all cools off at night. But the CO2 is not red hot at all and the plants are sucking it up as fast as they can, creating a basic homeostasis.
Meanwhile, our sick and twisted failure of a government, a huge lying sackful of desperate cheats and losers, gifts about 50 or 100 million dollars to a Swiss miner to sequester CO2 by pumping it underground. Along with the one carbon atom goes two oxygen atoms, all pumped underground, while India and China are left to save the day, burning as much Queensland coal as they can get their hands on.
Treasurer Chalmers very proud of the increase in coal exports.
Our LibLabClubofRome(GreenTeal) governments are not only very ugly liars they are also exceedingly stoopid as half of them have proved they are not even able to think, the other half are deliberately deceiving the public. A small handful of senators excluded.
Australia has always been nett zero because there are so many trees relative to the small population. They stack on the lies like pancakes, and the crooked ABC-TV is happy to repeat them, and NEVER EVER allows any counter argument.
They are nasty, evil people, the enemy of ordinary Australians, they lie about medicine, finance, anything while pretending to be our friend. They are the perfect image of Satan the deceiver.
In regard to backyard growing of food being a cause of excess carbon dioxide production the question needs to be asked “who was the idiot that came up with that idea?” I will bet it was a university trained galah working off a fat government grant. I never attended a university, thank goodness, but even I know all vegetation takes in CO2, whether it be farm produce, garden grown or native species in the wild.
Ask the poor Queenslanders surviving the latest catastrophe. They would know the truth of such things, except they have a hell of a time to get their financial grant.

Huge numbers of the global population HAVE awoken to what’s really going on.
But strangely, so very very strangely, that appears to have made little if any difference to the momentum of the genocidal Globalist juggernaut.
Case in point, creepy Bill murdered TENS OF THOUSANDS of African children and sterilised MILLIONS of African and Indian women and girls with neither their knowledge nor consent… and they all KNOW that creepy Bill did this to them, yet creepy Bill is still free as a bird to dream up and carry out ever more genocidal money-making mass-murdering enterprises all around the world.
Creepy Bill still gets to rub shoulders and other parts and share intimate moments with all the rich and wealthy and famous and all the highest of the high in politics, universally lauded by the mass media and treated and PROTECTED like royalty wherever he goes.
Just like all the rest of the genocidal self-annointed “elites” – UNTOUCHABLE.
Go figure.
dianedraytonbuckland said – “… These alleged desperately unhinged, obscenely rich, power crazed globalists must be stopped by the world’s people…”
Yes, they must, but all those adorably naive and passive-minded Useless Eaters haven’t managed to figure out what they need to do or how to go about doing it, especially in the shadow of literal ARMIES of Treasonous shit-for-brains hired mercenary thugs entrenched throughout every Western nation across the globe, whose sole purpose is to PROTECT their mass-murdering baby-eating Luciferian masters.
Hired mercenary thugs, just BTW, who have no scruples, morals, ethics, conscience, empathy, remorse or regret no matter how egregious the atrocities that they willingly and enthusiastically inflict on the captive populations.
Because they are all homicidal psychopaths, that’show they are selected and trained, and that’s exactly how they behave as we have seen over just the last half-decade.
The best the poor clueless Australians seem to have come up with is writing numbers on bits of paper. Yeah baby, that’ll show ’em!
This is why, despite all the enlightenment and awakening that’s been happening, we’ve got another eight years of this democidal shit to wade through. That’s how long it’s going to take for enough people to realize that the ONLY lasting solution to our situation is to PHYSICALLY AMPUTATE every last one of these treacherous mass-murdering baby-eating bastards from off of our backs and out of our country FOREVER, and then get organised well enough to actually DO it.
Eight years, Dudes & Dudettes. Get working on it, and try to last long enough to make a difference.
WEF Demands Global Ban on Homegrown Food to Meet ‘Net Zero’
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that global governments enforce bans on members of the general public growing food at home in order to supposedly lower “emissions.”
The globalist organization claims that homegrown food contributes to “climate change.”
The WEF argues that banning homegrown food will help governments comply with their targets for meeting “Net Zero” by 2030.
In order to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” targets, governments must drastically reduce “carbon emissions” by 2030 and completely eliminate them by 2050.
According to so-called “experts” behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the “carbon footprint” of homegrown food is “destroying the planet.”
As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to “save the planet” from “global warming.”
Globalists insist that allowing citizens to grow their own food will undermine efforts to meet the goals of the “Net Zero” agenda as dictated by the WEF and the United Nations (UN).
The research indicated that garden-to-table produce causes a far greater carbon footprint than conventional agricultural practices, such as those on rural farms.
This research, conducted by WEF-funded scientists at the University of Michigan, was published in the journal Nature Cities.

Causing food shortages / hunger / starving of the Global Population is allegedly terrorising and terrifying and this unhinged Mob of Tyrants at the WEF and ALL their associates/accomplices should be labelled ‘Global Terr0r1sts’ and stopped.
Globalists order banks to stop funding meat producers to ‘fight climate change’
Global banks are ordered to stop funding and “debanking “the world’s largest meat and dairy producers as part of an effort to supposedly” combat climate change.”
The goal is to establish a global ban on the consumption of meat and dairy by bypassing legislative means, writesHunter Fielding.
The war on the global food supply is intensifying and major meat and dairy producers are now in the sights of a globalist collective of groups funded by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Bill Gates and the United Nations (UN)………………

Let us all pray that huge numbers of the global population have now awoken to what’s really going on.
These alleged desperately unhinged, obscenely rich, power crazed globalists must be stopped by the world’s people.
The evil global agenda by alleged traitorous/tyrannical global politicians, elite, big pharma, big tech, big media, big medicine, WEF, WHO, UN et al is going to continue to wreak destruction on millions more people, our lives, our countries and we will be prisoners in our own world which will be permanently run as Totalitarian Regimes by these alleged tyrannical lunatics unless they are stopped by all the people of the world.
It is allegedly pure evil – controlling/reducing the world’s food supply is the ultimate heinous control over every person on earth.
THE CORRUPTION OF SCIENCE
Video: Climate – The Cold Truth. The Massive Scam which Promotes Global Warming / Climate Change
Climate The Movie by Martin Durkin
By Julian Rose – Global Research, June 20, 2024
We are rapidly waking up to the massive scam that promotes global warming/climate change as ‘doomsday scenario par excellence’.
In this film (see below) is a succinct and powerfully presented series of exposes by scientists and climatologists coming clean about the real truth behind the global warming invention.
Highly recommended viewing for all in need of material that can be shared with others needing to be brought up to speed on this vital issue.
Climate Change/Global Warming is the scare tool being used to completely capsize the world economy, destroy agriculture and act as a supposed critical ‘health hazard’ to the global population.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has the audacity to claim that it is in a position to also rule on climate issues. So its ‘Pandemic Treaty’, if approved by The World Health Assembly this May 2024, looks like being the basis for placing both climate change and world health under its United Nations/World Economic Foundation backed despotic mantle.
Let us be in no doubt that the depopulation agenda is at the forefront of these manoeuvres.
Covid, Climate and Health Care are now all weaponised by the elite Big Finance cult that pulls the strings of puppet political chiefs, non governmental organisations (NGO’s) and all operatives that toe the line of the top down status quo.
I would wish that those speaking on this film had had the courage to raise their voices before their retirement. This is where true whistleblowers really come into their own. It takes courage.

Bob Katter does his job, shame about the rest of them
What has Bob Katter really done?

Lets see the cash, To many times there is a celebration on government saying “we give” the application process is generally you need to fly to the moon, stand on your head, speak 3 languages then fill a form out located at the bottom of the ocean! Its all BS.
Of course, if the Australian Communist government did not manipulate weather events causing such catastrophies, these handouts after such devastations would not be necessary.
But… … the government has to be seen doing something, does it not ???
VOTE THEM IN AGAIN AND GET MORE OF THE SAME.
OR DON’T VOTE … … AND GET MORE OF THE SAME.
