ABOUT THIS BLOG

With a long family history that goes back many generations in this area it pains me to see the impact that government neglect is having on our area. The two major parties are simply not up to the job anymore. I can no longer sit back and watch this happen and have decided to run for the state seat of Cairns.

It is time we had a voice in parliament again, not puppets of faceless party machines from Canberra. By posting media releases on this blog the people of Cairns can determine if we have policies and concepts that they agree with.

I ask you to join me in ensuring that Cairns and Far North Queensland gets a fair go.

AUSTRALIA PARTY COMMITTED TO OUR FOOD SECURITY

We have all seen how the ALP/LNP are two heads of the same beast addicted to mining taxes. The fact they BOTH voted against a moratorium on CSG fracking shows they are as bad as each other. Our candidate for Nanango, Carl Rackemann, will address this forum below outlining the Katters Australian Party policy
Carl Rackemann to address National Food Security Forum Katter’s Australian Party candidate for Nanango, third generation farmer and former Australian cricketer, Carl Rackemann, will today address the Second National Food Security Forum in Gunnedah.
The forum will be hosted by Alan Jones and comes after hundreds of Queensland farmers concerned about the impact of mining on agriculture attended the first forum held in Oakey in August.
The forum will allow affected communities to raise awareness about the impacts of coal seam gas mining on landholders, agricultural production and the environment.
"Australia is fast approaching the point where it will no longer be able to provide for its food security needs and unchecked mining development needs to be addressed," Mr Rackemann said.
"Australia was built on the sheep’s back, but now it has become the sacrificial lamb for foreign-owned mining companies to exploit. Katter’s Australian Party intends to rectify this situation."
