Pro-gun supporter and former KAP member for Hinchinbrook Nick Dametto is running for the position of Townsville mayor. Dametto leaves behind a distinct legacy including the biggest-ever state petition supporting Castle Law to enshrine in law the rights of home owners defending their lives and property from intruders. He played a large part in assisting with the repairing of massive damage caused by widespread flooding earlier this year.

The upcoming Hinchinbrook by-election date is yet to be called after sitting Katters Australian Party member Nick Dametto resigned this week to run for the position of Townsville mayor after the suspended mayor Troy Thompson resigned.

The LNP has chosen a candidate to contest the seat, Labor says it will run a candidate and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said she would find someone to challenge KAP.

Once a member of the RAAF and now KAP candidate Mark Molachino says he “has a lot of fire in his belly” and as KAP had a strong focus on the region and being the voice of Townsville in Brisbane, his experience as deputy mayor would greatly benefit the people of Hinchinbrook.

“What the KAP wants to do is future proof this region, from the Northern suburbs all the way to Ingham and surrounds.”

Hanson’s plan to find a candidate to run against KAP is a bitter-sweet memory for the people of Mirani electorate, south of Mackay, whose former MP Stephen Andrew lost the seat after One Nation at the state election ran a candidate against him for joining KAP, spitefully preferencing the Liberal Party.

The Liberal candidate took the seat. Stephen Andrew told Cairns News he joined KAP because of a lack of support from One Nation for the duration of his parliamentary term.

Cairns News has asked One Nation which party it would preference should it run a candidate but has not received a reply.

The hard-hitting Dametto will be sorely missed in his electorate but says he wants to run for the mayoral position to secure Townsville’s economic future.

Unveiling his campaign, Mr Dametto said his election priorities were; reducing Townsville’s reliance on ratepayer revenue to fund major infrastructure, fixing the city’s maintenance backlog, securing state and federal funding to complete the Haughton Pipeline duplication and capitalising on Olympic-era investment.

“One of the first things people will ask is, what are you going to do about fiscal responsibility?” he said.

“You cannot continue to run a council off the ratepayer base — that’s one way to send yourself broke very quickly,” he said.

He would also move to redevelop The Strand to make it fit for tourism growth.

Hinchinbrook, runs along Queensland’s coastline from the Bohle River in Townsville to just south of Tully.

6 thought on “Will One Nation preference the Liberals ahead of KAP at Hinchinbrook by-election?”
  1. Dennis said – “… One Nation, and every other party that is not part of the Two Party Preferred takeover of Australia by their communist movement, and all Independants, should refuse to suggest preferences, as they are not part of the original laws of Australian Constitutional Government…”

    You don’t say, Dennis?

    Well, One Nation and every other party INCLUDING the Two Party Preferred takeover of Australia are not part of the original laws of Australian Constitutional Government, and matter of fact ALL POLITICAL PARTIES are unlawful here in Australia according to that very same document.

    And never mind that ALL OF THEM are sitting in Treason, and ALL of them are foreign-owned & controlled CORPORATIONS, as well as the CORPORATION which trades under the registered business name of the Australian Electoral Commission and stage-manages the BS fake “elections” and announces the BS predetermined “results” with much fanfare and universal foreign-owned mainstream corporate media support.

    Six of one, half a dozen of the other. You can’t have it both ways.

  2. One Nation, and every other party that is not part of the Two Party Preferred takeover of Australia by their communist movement, and all Independants, should refuse to suggest preferences, as they are not part of the original laws of Australian Constitutional Government, and therefore still require a referendum to become even a shadow of the voting system.
    The communist takeover of Australia as now experienced by we, the people should be enough to cause them to demand change back to original law and order in government and out.
    Replacing Australian sentiment and culture by schemes and encroaching, and importing immigrants that want Australia to become a Muslim trash heap is not acceptable and will create civil war very soon.
