Qld LNP has no chance of taking government at next election
One Nation, KAP, UAP and a string of independents will be ousting the ALP, LNP duopoly in 2024
The Queensland Liberal National coalition has no chance of winning the next election due in 2024.
The LNP has been the most inept, rudderless opposition for a decade, unable to land a punch on the withering and corrupt Labor Party Corporation.
It has had numerous opportunities to show some balls and initiative by supporting bills put forward by Katters Australian Party or introducing their own but for reasons known only to the Liberal back room boys it refused to support KAP’s crocodile management bill in spite of a public crescendo to remove man-eating crocodiles from northern waterways.
The LNP also failed to back KAP’s lauded Relocation Sentencing bill which would take many hundreds of repeat juvenile car thieves and house breakers off the streets and send them to remote rehabilitation facilities to learn respect for others and a basic work ethic.
The aimless LNP refused to support a cry from most indigenous communities to update the loathed Blue Card system which prevents drink drivers or petty thieves from applying for hundreds of jobs, presently vacant in remote communities.
Cairns News cannot find any recent parliamentary bills put forward by the LNP to ease the damaging woke policies of the Queensland Labor Party.
It goes on and on while the LNP think they will simply fall into government by default as the federal Labor Party did with just 32 per cent of the national vote thanks to the corrupt two-party preferred system..
The electoral elephant in the room for the Liberals is the state fallout from the federal Liberal’s draconian policies of no jab – no social security payments for kids never mind the fascist-styled Covid mandates, lockdowns and the ridiculous compulsory mask wearing which medicos warned was more dangerous to health than the psychological damage caused from being locked up at home for weeks on end.
Small business went down the chute, many never to recover in spite of huge inflationary payments made by the federal government trying to keep business afloat.
These inflationary WEF policies are now coming home to roost as the alternative media yesterday reported massive runs on some American banks and the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank in California.
Run on SVB in California, soon to translate across the US and Australia thanks to LNP and ALP policies Pic NY Times
The federal Liberals were electorally decimated over their WEF, WHO-inspired policies of mandatory mRNA gene altering inoculations which have caused an 18 per cent rise in the national death rate over the past year and more than 150,000 recorded vaccine damaged victims.
In spite of the world’s best medical advice from microbiologists, epidemiologists, vaccination experts and specialist practitioners the LNP ignored the spiraling death and injury rate from Pfizer and Moderna jabs.
But there could be no connection to then Liberal PM Scott Morrison’s personal wealth climbing to $52m in a few months or the NSW former Liberal Premier Gladys Berejiklian copping a reported $10m bribe from Pfizer?
The Queensland LNP supported Labor in punishing those wary of the jab. Thousands of public servants who lost their jobs for refusing the deadly jab, would be foolish indeed to support the fascist duopoly at the ballot box.
However the ALP has both the dishonest Australian and Queensland Electoral Commission and Konnech China to fall back on if the numbers don’t look like going their way.

Voted Labor and we got Greens and woe betide industry and the economy – Joyce challenged
A challenge to National Party leader Barnaby Joyce for the leadership will be the most retrograde step the languishing Nationals could take.
Challenger David Littleproud has as much electoral appeal as Joe Biden and is not much more savvy, knows little about agriculture or livestock and as former Primary Industries Minister, was at the mercy of bureaucrats when making decisions that affect agriculture.
Littleproud is the son of a former National Party State Education Minister Brian Littleproud, a teacher, and has little background in the pastoral industry or farming.
At least Joyce, the former St George accountant when a youth was involved in farming. Joyce has sufficient industry knowledge to realise what effect his decisions had on the viability of agriculture.
The exception being when the National Party treacherously agreed with left Liberals to Turnbull’s zero carbon dioxide emissions target set for 2050 which will have disastrous effects on livestock producers and broad acre farming such as wheat production.
Cattle and grain prices, presently, have never been higher and Australia is experiencing an unprecedented agricultural commodities boom thanks to Bill Gates and Jeff Bazos purchasing vast tracts of some of the best farming properties in America to grow soybean and other pulse crops to be used in manufacturing artificial meat or Tofu.
Combined with an orchestrated fertiliser shortage and unprecedented, high fuel prices, the US, like the emerging Australian situation, has been unable to maintain production.
Food shortages have begun, and the US Government’s FEMA has taken over food distribution after many deliberate fires destroyed food manufacturing facilities.
The US was once the world’s largest grain grower and exporter but it has now fallen off the mantle.
Gates the genocidalist and avowed eugenicist through his deadly vaccines is intent, as he has previously, publicly stated, to reduce the world population from 7 billion to 500 million.
Red meat, which he wants to replace with Tofu and insect mash, are much more environmentally suitable than red meat production according to his skewed ideology.
Now the Labor and Greens will be managing Australia’s economy the future of farming and the coal industry is seriously in doubt. Cairns News warns any overseas investors in agriculture and mining to divest their holdings as soon as possible.
Brown outs and blackouts will be the new norm for industry dependent on base-load power.
Private water investors will be next in line when the Greens start flexing their newfound environmental muscle.
However this could be a good move if the international owners of our water entitlements disappear, our water will become ours again.
A Labor, Greens duopoly will stop all animal production, sports and make you eat insects
Letter to the Editor
They’re coming for our farm animals, horses & pets, dogs, cats, all pets under the guise of animal-related sport.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10496783/Huge-fines-Australians-dont-walk-dogs.html
This is an attempt to move all animals above human lives. Think about it. Is it right that they put chickens above the lives of the farmers that own the chickens?
The government’s duty is to protect the life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and “the property” of each person against any advances, infringements and restrictions that another person and/or group may attempt to impose on the individual. And that is where we run into the communist policies of the United Nations Agenda 21.
UN Agenda 21. A non-governmental organization called the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, ICLEI control Local Government, Local Councils & is tasked with carrying out the goals of Agenda 21 worldwide.
Agenda 21 and Animal “Rights” are however, political agendas that affect your family, your health, your job, your dogs, and how you perceive the world.
Maurice Strong advocates using Non-Government Organizations like the HSUS to institute the policies of UN Agenda 21 in every country worldwide.
Now you are seeing the connection between the push for “animal rights” and the umbrella organization of the HSUS which is the Humane Society International (HSI), one of 983 Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) created to push the policies and ideology of UN Agenda 21. The HSUS’s role is to demonize and vilify America’s farmers, ranchers (and breeders of companion animal species) and to institute the policies of UN Agenda 21 in America. The Global plan is well under way. Count the initiatives; to attack our animal agriculture industries, drive up the cost of animal production, criminalize our animal agriculture industries
Cartright observes PZP is owned by the HSUS. PZP contraceptive research {Ref #3}. To stop the BLM from castrating horses instead of using PZP owned by HSUS, wild horse activists are suing the United States’ government over its plans to castrate hundreds of horses in eastern Nevada, hoping to block the implementation of a precedent-setting plan to regulate wild-horse populations.
I think you will agree that your neighbor, the HSUS, the local police or animal control people have no authority to deprive you of your God-given dominion over the animals, fish or fowl that you own.

No point in voting
Letter to the Editor
What’s the point in VOTING, or even HAVING a Federal Government, if corrupt left-wing extremist activist journalists, lawyers, judges, and Labor/Greens federal and state politicians are the ones running and controlling our Country, and making all the decisions?Djokovic, and his fellow Serbians, should all be kicked out of OUR Country if they refuse to follow OUR rules!We are now living in an evil left-wing extremist (Communist, Nazi, Marxist) Dictatorship,….just look at some of the NAMES of the people who are running OUR country and dictating to us, and the names of some of the journalists reporting on it.
Example, Politicians:-Palaszczuk, Berejiklian, Frydenberg, Barilaro, Falinski, Hazzard, Albaneze, Wong, Plibersek, Keneally, Aly, Georganas, Khalil, Vamvakinou, Crakanthorp, Houssos, Mihailuk, Zangari, Zppia, Sharma, Buchholz, Liu, Sukkar, Singh, Fang, Gulaptis, Perrottet, Petinos, Zimmerman, Fierravanti,….and the list goes on!
Example, Reporters/Journalists:-Stefanovic, Koch, Albrechtsen, Kostakidis, Alberici, Waleed Aly, Zoe Zaczek, Bryant Hevesi, Youssef, Gottliebsen, Zempilas, Viswalingam, Loewenstein, Kalimniou, Tso, Trioli, Van Onselen, Azzopardi, Fernandez, Ghidella, Ibrahim, Shepher, Visontay,….and the list goes on!No wonder Australia is INTERCOURSED!I believe that a person should have to be a ‘second-generation’ Australian before they are allowed to VOTE, and a ‘third-generation’ Australian before they are allowed to enter politics at ANY level, local, state, or federal!

Mark of the Beast – digital identification is being legislated right now in Canberra
Minister’s foreword to ‘Your guide to the Digital Identity legislation’
As we have seen during recent years, Australians are keen and willing to adapt to challenges (Scamdemic). In recent years, our nation has transformed the way we go about our daily lives – and it all revolves around digital. From shopping to banking to accessing government services, Australia has turned to digital in droves.
With this comes great benefits – a thriving digital economy drives growth by enabling businesses to prosper, providing more job opportunities for Australians, and connecting us with emerging industries and technologies across the world. However, Australians and Australian businesses must have trust and confidence that the system and their personal information is safe and secure.
A safe, thriving digital economy is the best way we can grow the Australian economy.
A safe, thriving digital economy is not possible without digital identity – that is, a safe, secure and convenient way for Australians to prove their identity online.
This is the focus of the proposed Digital Identity legislation. The Trusted Digital Identity Bill, once passed by Parliament, will establish permanent oversight and governance structures for the Australian Government Digital Identity System, and enshrine in law important privacy and consumer protections. It builds on strong safeguards already in place, providing the authority for a consistent set of rules that will protect Australians and Australian businesses. The work achieved in this space, and the future opportunities that legislation will enable, are critical parts of the Morrison Government’s ambition for our nation to be a leading digital economy and society by 2030.
The release of this exposure draft of the Bill and supporting materials is the next step in a multi-year journey of consultation to ensure the legislation is robust, fit-for-purpose, and meets public expectations. My sincere thanks to those who have contributed their views to date. I encourage you all to review the materials and provide your feedback to help us ensure this important work is done right.
The Hon. Stuart Robert MP
Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business
Here it is

Queen Street cowboy LNP senator Matt Canavan is a compulsive liar and now faces legal action
Compiled by Jim O’Rourke, Townsville Bureau
Statement by Katters Australian Party
We are hereby advising the media and the public that a defamation action has been commenced against Senator Canavan.
Senator Canavan stated on a national media programme which aired on 13 October, 2020, with reference to myself:
“he has preferenced a Labor Government over the years…”
This is a proposition continuously promulgated by the Liberal National Party (LNP).
Compulsive liar Matt Canavan up to his neck in a smear campaign, will soon be in court defending defamation action taken by Bob Katter
Whilst undoubtedly politicians lie, these are elements that make this a very “malevolent lie.”
- “It can be proved to be a lie” since How to Vote cards with preferences must be registered with the Electoral Commission Qld (ECQ).
- He knows also that it’s a lie since my office sent to him in February this year, How to Vote cards from previous elections along with a warning not to repeat this lie.
For an elected official to continue lying when he knows he is lying should be regarded as the highest of impropriety.
The High Court of Australia in Theophanous v Herald & Weekly Times Ltd, went so far as to state that it is implicit in our Constitution, the right to know and the right to know the truth.
- This has been most damaging to our small, northern and western based party.
The Australian Labor Party’s (ALP) notorious and continuous opposition to coal, cane farming, and cattle (you will remember the live cattle bans), make the ALP a pariah in northern and western Qld.
And the Senator and his ilk, their lies are most damaging to our party.
- Whilst it is true,
“that you throw dirt you lose ground”
it is also true that,
“some of it sticks.”
My father and Sir Douglas Logan, World War soldiers, endlessly drummed into me to ‘watch out,’ and Adolf Hitler said, ‘if you tell a lie continuously, constantly and consistently people will believe it is the truth even though it is a lie.’
Later I discovered that that quote is in Mein Kampf.
Detail:
KAP how to vote cards on one side preference Liberals over Labor, on the other side they preference Labor over Liberals.
We are well aware that the LNP Federal Govt. deregulated and destroyed all rural industries.
And it was the LNP that disarmed Australians.
But we let the voters decide, poor as those choices might be.
Final Comments:
This defamation is seriously exacerbated since the Senator must know that just the complete opposite is true.
The LNP in the last Qld election, in their bitter hatred of Pauline Hanson, preferenced Labor over One Nation thereby cheating Hanson’s One Nation out of two seats.
Since Hanson would have never voted in a Palaszczuk-Trad Govt, there is no question that Liberal preferences elected a Labor Govt.
Comment:
It is an extraordinary act of self-immolation, making preferences an issue when your own LNP Party is preferencing the Greens above Labor.
This ensures in my opinion a very real prospect that a Greens-ALP Govt. could be elected.
The Greens raison d’être:- the closure of the coal industry, cane industry, hard-hoofed animals (cattle) and solar energy which closes the aluminium industry.
These are the only industries Qld has got since tourism is “Covided”.
Further, making preferences an issue is ill-advised when your LNP Party’s preferencing of Labor in the last Qld election elected a Labor Govt.
A concluding matter of great importance:
Anyone else who repeats this lie will join the Senator in the courtroom.
So, if your neighbour in the backyard tells you this then please advise us, and your neighbour will join the Senator as a Defendant in this action.
They will be with him in the courts.
Editor: Matt Canavan as a Northern Development Minister has not turned one sod of soil for five years instead relying on LNP ‘smoke and mirrors’ over new dam construction. He is just another LNP snake oil salesman who has wasted more then $500 million on water investigations that produced nothing for regional Australia.
Qld Nationals long gone, only Liberals wearing Akubras remain
LNP in love with Greens. Queensland as we know it will disappear
The LNP’s gifting of preferences to the Greens ahead of Labor should come as no surprise but is nonetheless the final death knell on the former National party’s allegiance to rural and regional Queensland, Katter’s Australian Party Leader and Traeger MP Robbie Katter has said.
“The Liberals have well and truly won over the old Nats; and these are Liberals who appear hell-bent on selling their souls,” Mr Katter said.
Speaking on the confirmation by Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington that the LNP would preference the Greens above Labor in all 93 Queensland seats at the upcoming State Election, Mr Katter said there had been no real Nationals in Queensland politics for a long time.
Robbie Katter warns the LNP that giving Greens their preferences will see a Greens minority government which will stop all development
“In the interest of playing politics and boosting their chances of taking office in the tower of power on George Street, the LNP has betrayed everyone outside south-east Queensland,” he said.
“The LNP’s former leader Tim Nichols best stated why the LNP should put Greens last and the KAP agree with his reasons completely.
“According to Tim, and the reasoning for which he provides very publicly on social media and the internet, the Greens are: anti-jobs, anti-farmers, anti-small business, anti-property rights, anti-school choice, anti-health choice, pro-death duties, pro-carbon tax, pro-higher electricity prices and pro-more government intervention.”
“Can the Opposition Leader tell us why she thinks that Tim Nichols is wrong, and why her path is right?
“Why does she disagree that the Greens are anti-jobs?
“Why does she think that the Greens are not anti-farmers and small business?
“Why does she give support to a party that is pro-carbon tax, pro-higher electricity price and anti-coal?”
Mr Katter said while he understood the age-old rivalry between the major parties, the LNP’s decision to effectively back the Greens during what has been heralded the most important State Election in decades was narcissistic and reckless.
He said it was likely both Labor or the LNP would need to seek support from the cross-bench to form government after October 31, and that handing extra seats to the Greens could be the end of Queensland as we know it in a balance of power situation.
“The fact is that the LNP is a Brisbane party and it is not surprising that it has all come to this,” he said.
“We already know that the LNP will not support financially coal-fired power stations and that the LNP voted against a motion that the KAP pushed for, which called on governments to treat coal the same as renewables,” Mr Katter said.
“The LNP Member for Callide Colin Boyce put the interests of his electorate first and shocked us all last month when he voted with the KAP, One Nation and Jason Costigan against the mining commissioner/reef approvals legislation, which is even more lead in the saddle for miners and farmers.
“However it was the LNP who ignored the interests of regional Queensland and pandered up to the inner suburbs of Brisbane once again.
“This will be the last straw for many long-suffering LNP supporters who have put up with the LNP’s drift away from its values and its supporters to the point that it is now unrecognisable.
“What we need to know is what else the LNP will give away.
“We know that Labor is ready to pander to the extreme Left if needed; but now it would appear we have much of the same from the Opposition too.
“The LNP are ‘cityslicker wolves in sheep’s clothing’, and they should be ashamed to show their faces north of the Sunshine Coast.”
Mr Katter said the KAP had always put the Greens last on its how-to-vote cards and would do the same in the 2020 Queensland Election.
“If people want to be certain that they are putting Greens last and voting for a party which will not deal with the Greens, they should look to the KAP,” he said.
Get your cash out before the LNP and the banks grab it
MEDIA ALERT
Bob Katter
Don’t get caught with more than $10,000 legal tender or the LNP will send you to jail.
Federal Member for Kennedy
Will address the Press Gallery at the
Mural Hall, Parliament House
12 pm Today 05/03/20
The LNP/Labor duopoly strikes again-gone will be your savings under the Bail-in laws as soon as interest rates hit zero. The banks, thanks to new laws passed by the LNP before Christmas can take your savings from your bank accounts to prop up their viability in the upcoming depression enabled and orchestrated by the trojan horse Coronavirus pandemic. Remember the Greek banks stole the deposits of their customers three years ago.
Most intelligent Australians know this $10,000 cash ban has nothing to do with curbing drug dealers’ cash flow. It is all about control. Scomo has been compromised by Hillsong church activities and is simply doing the bidding of the City of London for the New World Order. – Editor
Mr Katter will purchase gold bullion with more than $10,000 cash ($40,000 of gold and cash will change hands); an act that will soon be illegal under proposed laws.
The implementation of the Restriction on Cash Bill, currently before the Senate, significantly abolishes our right to “Legal Tender” – a right enjoyed for a millennium. Property rights and privacy are undermined.
When facing uncertain economic times, as we are now with the Coronavirus, Australians will be restricted from withdrawing their life savings (When such savings are under real threat).
Shorten’s breath-taking hypocrisy accusing Joyce of misconduct
Larry Pickering at his best
Cairns News cannot believe the breath-taking hypocrisy of Bill Shorten when he asked Turnbull in Parliament if he would sack Barnaby Joyce over his pregnant girlfriend. We read about Shorten’s widely-reported extra-marital dalliances and rape allegations which leave him with no feathers to fly with. He really is a grub, according to readers, whose expertise would be better applied to being a brothel manager.
Queensland farmers should stick to their guns fighting the ALP’s Weapons Branch
by Gil Hanrahan, editor-at-large
Queensland farmers want to stick to their guns but the Labor infested public service has refused several hundred handgun licence renewals over the past 18 months causing many cases of animal cruelty.
Farmers need handguns, which have been a part of their tools-of-trade since the first sheep and cattle were offloaded at Botany Bay in 1788.
Comrade Palaszczuk intends to give farmers a torrid time in the next parliament starting with handgun confiscation
But the socialist Queensland Labor Party is denying them a licence to carry one even if a farmer has been licenced for 20 or more years without incident or a change in circumstances.
Should a farmer find a cow with a dead calf stuck in its uterus while giving birth and the cow is on its last gasp after the crows have pecked out its eyes and those of the calf, he has no option but to kill the cow. How? He is 20 klms from the house and the nearest rifle because he is on a horse or motorbike.
He could cut the cow’s throat with a pocket knife, that is if he is still allowed to carry one.
The LNP Opposition in 2011 helped outlaw pocket knives by voting with the ALP to ban them. Agforce was dead quiet about this one.
Once a farmer would take his revolver out of its holster and shoot the cow, being the most humane thing to do while appeasing the brain-dead Animals Australia and the RSPCA both of which refuse to provide midwives for Brahman cows.
There are a number of alternatives for hard-pressed farmers such as buying one of many anecdotal ‘hot’ handguns available on the black market or to inadvertently misplace the licenced pistol, which happens on occasion.
Katters Australia Party State leader Robbie Katter says he will step up the pressure on the Labor Party when Parliament resumes to force the ALP Marxists to instruct the Weapons Branch to renew all licences for farmers.Police Minister Comrade Ryan like his predecessor Captain Bill Byrne has a generational hatred of farmers as this new parliament will reveal.
The Qld Weapons Licencing Branch is refusing handgun licence renewals for farmers falsely claiming they have no need. The ALP infested-Administrative Tribunals Commission is backing the misleading interpretations of regulations by police. Soon only police will carry handguns.
There is palpable union and Labor animosity towards those on the land producing clean and green food for Queenslanders, which unfortunately includes the Labor Party. Agriculture will be in for a torrid time unless the KAP cross-bench can hold them at bay.
The ALP is skating on climate-changing, thin ice even though it has a two seat majority, thanks to an abundance of vote fraud and the ethnic welfare vote. Before the new parliament sits, the Member for Mulgrave and former Treasurer Curtis Pitt is about to be hauled before the powerful Ethics Committee after the LNP alleged he misled the last parliament by pushing through a sweetheart deal for the Tram and Bus Union. Pitt’s fate is up in the air.
Another alternative is for farmers to launch a Federal Court class action to lay bare the unlawful Australia Act 1986 and the alterations to the Queensland Constitution in 2001 by the political miscreant, Peter Beattie without a referendum.
Has anyone noticed since 2001 how Beattie, Bligh, Newman and Palaszczuk refer to “my government’. Does anyone remember giving the ‘government’ to an individual?
Beattie removed the Queen and installed the Premier as the new head of State for the corporate, Socialist Republic of Queensland.The legal mechanism used by the malcontent Beattie can be found in the record of proceedings in the Cairns Magistrates Court: Queensland Police –v- Walter, 2016, QP1700886562 QPS.
If farmers could actually band together for the common good just for once, the Federal Court would have little alternative but to find there is no criminal law in Queensland applying to those citizens outside of the political parties, just the common law which exists across the nation.
LNP SUPPORT JACKIE TRAD’S OVERBEARING GUN CONTROL
KAP Shane Knuth and Robbie Katter stated “There are a number of things that could be done to improve community safety including a permanent amnesty, a real time licence verification system, better screening of packages coming in from overseas and redirecting resources from persecution of law abiding shooters to fighting gun crime.
October 11, 2017 – The LNP tonight backed Jackie Trad’s stricter Queensland gun control laws, with both parties displaying their willingness to work together to successfully attack the rights of law-abiding firearm owners.
The major party duopoly voted down a KAP Disallowance motion, ensuring more irrational changes will be made to the National Firearms Agreement (NFA).
KAP members Robbie Katter and Shane Knuth commended LNP Member for Gympie, Tony Perrett for crossing the floor to vote for KAP’s disallowance motion and for putting his constituents before his party.
After a debate characterised by mudslinging and misdirection the LNP sided with the Government to vote down the KAP motion moved by Robbie Katter resulting in Queensland now having gun laws which go far beyond those put in place by John Howard.
When debating the motion, Robbie urged all members of the house to look past the fear and emotion of the issue to ensure our laws are based on evidence and fairness.
“The changes to the NFA have absolutely no empirical or practical justification.
“Unfortunately these laws only punish people who do the right thing while doing nothing to address community safety,’’ Robbie said.
KAP Member for Dalrymple Shane Knuth
Member of Dalrymple Shane Knuth said if the State Government was serious about community safety it would look at measures which crackdown on gun crime, including a permanent amnesty, real time licence verification and better mail and customs screening to stop illegal weapons entering the country.
“The aim of the KAP disallowance motion was to remove the additional regulations imposed by Labor, resulting in tougher gun control laws,’’ Mr Knuth said.
“The LNP had the chance to block these tougher gun controls but chose to support Labor, even though they had been telling constituents they would champion law-abiding gun owners.’’
The LNP attempted to shift the blame to the State Government and the KAP for their decision to support the irrational NFA changes, however it was clear to all observers this was a weak attempt to move the focus away from their attack on law-abiding gun owners and the division within their own party.
“We will always support measures that make the community safer however, good policy needs to be based on evidence and not emotion,’’ Mr Knuth said.
Leader of the Opposition, Tim Nicholls quoted support for John Howard’s gun laws as the rationale. However, the new regulations significantly strengthen John Howard’s laws and they have been made without sufficient consultation with shooters.
The major aspects of the regulations which strengthen John Howard’s laws include:
– A reclassification of lever action shotguns to Category D, which is the same category as AK-47s and AR-15s, while pump action shotguns with the same capacity are classified in Category C.
– Serious questions around changes to the definition of lawful modification which could have the effect of making any type of weapon that has been modified by a licence shooter illegal. This has potential to make hundreds of thousands weapons illegal.
– If weapons are now deemed illegal they need to be handed back. With no compensation scheme in place this is perhaps the biggest injustice in the new laws.
Robbie Katter member for Mt Isa enjoying LNP and ALP pushing votes over to KAP by targeting legal firearm owners with looney legislation
Robbie Katter talks about a number of changes that could be brought in to improve community safety.
“There are a number of things that could be done to improve community safety including a permanent amnesty, a real time licence verification system, better screening of packages coming in from overseas and redirecting resources from persecution of law abiding shooters to fighting gun crime.
“According to a report by the auditor general, Customs only screens 25% of consignments, whereas previously all international mail coming into Australia was scanned. That equates to just 46 million scans, resulting in 67,123 prohibited items being seized. On those calculations, a further 201,369 prohibited items were let into the country,” Robbie said.
