I am old enough to remember Bob Katter from the National Party. I would consider voting for his party because no party stands up for Australian manufacturing/ production and farmers anymore. We have just seen NZ apples approved for import into Australia. Who will suffer? Producers of Australian Apples will be the loosers. Australia's world market advantage use to be our clean and green image, but that will go out the window. It is near impossible to buy any garlic in the shops other then bleached Chinese stuff that I refuse to buy. I certainly would not vote for a Pauline Hanson style party and do not see Bob Katter's party this way. I worked in politics very closely to a pollie who disliked her very much. I think I am a normal suburban mother of 5 raised in regional Qld, trying to survive in the big city of Sydney on one wage. Families get very little support from any sides of gov't these days. So watch out there are alot of very upset Australians looking for some relief from the rising cost of living globalisation being forced upon that leaves many of us with no job security while raising a family.

Good to hear from a professional Graham.
Protection rips consumers off. The classic example is the European Economic community where hopelessly inefficient high cost farmers are subsidised. The result is crap fruit and veges, meat etc at exorbitant prices. Those who suffer most are low income earners.

I think Katter's Australian Party is worthy of our vote.
