Brisbane June 24 – The day after the state budget was handed down, both Brisbane’s LNP and Labor refused to restart a $19 billion uranium industry, the Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter said today, responding to the response to the KAP’s motion in Queensland Parliament.
The KAP moved a motion in parliament calling for the lifting of a ban on uranium mining.
“I just don’t understand why we’re looking a $19 billion gift-horse in the mouth, when the treasurer is scrimping and saving for every dollar to pay for the Olympics,” Mr Katter said.
”The LNP had an opportunity to show they’re different to Labor, but their one sole speaker refused to even say the word ‘uranium’ in the debate tonight! They’re clearly keener to chase Brisbane votes than embrace $19 billion for the state.
“When so many countries across world are turning to nuclear power in droves, it’s madness that we’re holding ourselves back to participate in a booming industry!” He said.
The World Nuclear Association is forecasting demand for uranium to up to triple by 2040.
“There are now 38 countries who have taken the COP28 pledge to triple nuclear power generation by 2050, led originally by France in 2023,” Mr Katter said.
“India is actively looking to access more Australian uranium to power their burgeoning power hungry AI data centres, with the President heading here in July this year.
“Canada only this week announced 10 more nuclear reactors!
“We’re cutting off our nose to spite our face, and being held back by blind ideology, while other state in Australia, and other uranium producing countries like Canada and even Kazakhstan profit,” he said.
Mr Katter told parliament during the debate that the Mount Isa region is the most uranium endowered region, with the resource buried and locked up by a simply policy decision.
“Only 40 km from Mount Isa there is more than 50,000 tonnes of contained uranium metal, and further up in the Gulf, another 20,000 tonnes.” The KAP Leader said.
“Despite this, we’ve not had any uranium mining since 1982, when the Mary Kathleen mine (also just to the east of Mount Isa) closed.
“And why not? I get there was the ‘ban the nukes’ campaign of 30 years ago, but the rest of the world has moved on from that and are embracing the dense and reliable power source of uranium.
“The LNP have form, in 2012, of taking positive steps to develop the industry – in response to KAP pressure – but a dragged-out process and not resolving transport licencing issues meant Labor slapped the ban straight back on in 2015.
“I had hoped the government had the intestinal fortitude to at least contest the debate, but instead they took the weak option, ignoring a massive potential industry, and sided with Labor to keep the ban,” the KAP leader said.
Why would LNP repeal any UnaParty progress, Hegelian zig-zag is how they operate. Anyone doesn’t understand this, it’s the same as a sailboat tacking into the wind. You go NW then NE then NW, you make steady progress north and the public thinks elections are controlling the direction. Now we see courtesy of commenter Buckland that Gina has plans for Pauline, now she has bought Pauline for a bargain price. However. Being voted in as Orange Party Member is no guarantee of loyalty !!! This could be a spaghetti explosion.
It’s pretty clear Australia is the globalist testing ground for renewables, just as Melbourne has been chosen for testing mRNA preparations on unsuspecting Useless Eaters, of which there are many since their jobs were exported starting with Whitlam and continuing with UnaParty. Personally I hardly care one way or another about nucular power but our poor trees and vegetation need more CO2, the atmosphere is depleted compared to historical averages, I think we are going down towards ice-age levels of CO2 and I would guess the solar cycles also are headed down, look at the pattern:
Roman empire – warm
Dark Ages – cool ( “Late Antique Little Ice Age” )
Viking expansions – warm
1300’s = cool ( multiple famines )
Renaissance period – warm
1800’s – cool ( Hansel & Gretel, Little Match Girl, N’Apollyon )
20th century – warm ( massive wars and industrial expansion )
The Globalists are becoming anxious we are burning too much oil, buying their stoopid plastic rubbish and jetting around spoiling the scenery, they will get everyone on nucular and renewable soon enough. My concern is for our poor vegetation, which supports the possums and other fauna, we need to increase CO2 levels by getting the aborigines to burn a lot more stuff. Internationally, why not start with Geneva, then move on to Frankfurt and TelAviv.
Still haven’t worked out that the globalist bought and sold and paid for Labour-Lib UNIPARTY has been screwing us for decades and is still very much working on screwing us today?
.
You’re behind the times, possums. You need to catch up and fast!
‘Hey folks, have you heard about the Darwin Awards? That’s us, . . . ‘
.
Absolutely spot on, I’d guess the world is unanimous on that one. It took some time, but you got there in the end.
.
The situation could best be summarised as a nation of low caste f**k-wits who’ve invented nothing of any relevance to the world. A people who were easily enticed there as house-sitters for the land-bankers. World famous home grown Aussie science, technology, literature, architecture, art, – it doesn’t exist, – its a nation of cattle farmers and cricket players who are biologically incapable of thinking for themselves.

The Darwin Award effect is probably what happens when you deliberately export Europe’s lowest IQ’s and integrate them with the planet’s lowest racial IQ. The consequence was inevitable.

Leasing Sovereignty: Australia’s Gina Rinehart’s Ravings on Israel, Taiwan and Elon Musk.
Global Research. 23 June 2026.
Excerpt >
Of the three suggestions, the one proposing the grant of land to Israeli defence manufacturing irked the most. It did not take long for a Change.org petition to be launched with urgency, describing Rinehart’s ambition as one of seeking the establishment “of an Israeli military base in this pristine region.” To introduce such a base “would fundamentally alter the area’s character, disturbing not only the landscape but also the local communities and wildlife.” The organisers of the petition may have nothing to fear about Prairie’s prospects but given the Australian government’s tendency to lease sovereignty to the US military imperium with cheerful enthusiasm, their concerns should not be lightly dismissed.

It has always been the south east corner of the State that has received the most financial attention from royalties paid for resources mined in the north .
If the north vote is not that important then why are there so many seats held by uniparty MP’s who have all shown their worthlessness when it comes to getting anything done .
The only politician I know of in the far north who is worth every cent he is paid is Bob Katter for when I was hauling cane in 2006 I contacted his officer to complain of the state of the Bruce highway through the Murray Flats just south of the Tully River and asked when something was going to be done about fixing the flood prone road that when flooded cuts supply for road and rail when the Tully River floods out and his office staff instead of ignoring me by passing the buck onto someone else they took my name and said they get on to it straight away and sent me updates by mail of correspondence between Bob and Warren Truss and within 6 months surveyors were out pegging the new road alignment of the Bruce .
Bob Katter should be Premier of Qld for he is the only bloke I can think of who cares for “everyone in Qld” much like his father before him who would drive around inside his electorate to talk to as many people face to face to listen to everyone so he could tend to their their needs to best way he could with the limited finances back in those days before bush people knew what bitumen was .
Hey folks,
.
Want a good laugh?
.
See that caption under the headline photo up there?
“Abandoned Mary Kathleen uranium mine west of Mt Isa could re re-opened to satisfy huge overseas demand”
.
“Huge overseas demand”, folks, just think on THAT for a couple of minutes.
.
Because Nuclear Power is ILLEGAL here in Australia. That’s right, it was written INTO FEDERAL LAW here in Australia DECADES AGO, Nuclear Power is ILLEGAL in Australia!
.
Not metaphorically, not allegorically, not inferentially, but LITERALLY EXPLICITLY ILLEGAL.
.
Just like COAL, folks, and Natural Gas, OF COURSE there’s HUGE DEMAND for ALL of this shit OVERSEAS, because there’s NO DEMAND for it right here in Australia.
.
Because it’s all ILLEGAL here in Australia. That’s right folks, ILLEGAL.
.
Hey folks, have you heard about the Darwin Awards? That’s us, barreling on a thoroughly Treasonous self-destructive retarded roller coaster ride to extinction, on a terminal inescapable trajectory all the way down to Hell, destined to be just an ignominiously forgettable footnote in the annals of history.
.
And you’re all part of this emphatically transitory and inconsequential blip in the fabric of world history, folks, this farcical dying circus hijacked and run by clowns, this ideological wilderness masquerading as a country, you’ve all consented to it. Enjoy.
