The 2020 Queensland election signalled the beginning of the end for identity politics in Australia and the recent 2024 election witnessed its death.
Pauline Hansons One Nation, Katters Australian Party and Clive Palmers United Australia Party are now dead and buried after One Nation and KAP’s dismal result at the weekend.
In spite of widespread community support for the three parties to unite, all ignored the calls and now are reaping the consequences.
Cairns News led the charge for party unity 18 months ago but personal egos tripped up every move. Palmers ego is bigger than his physical image, Hansons wasn’t much better and Bob Katter went along for the ride but no agreements could be reached.
Hanson told KAP executives she might consider amalgamation but she was going to be “the boss,” a proposition that defeated the purpose of joining forces.
Dumbed-down urban voters flocked to Liberal National candidates in 2024 believing things would change while farmers and similar-minded regional voters dreamed they were in a time-warp returning to a Bjelke Petersen era of development and prosperity.
Nothing could be further from their erotic dreams. Modern LNP is owned and managed by the same evil forces which control the socialist Labor Party.
The Covid bioweapon and more than 50,000 deaths is testimony to the deadly deeds of the faceless men from Deep State who run the Liberals and Labor.
Former Liberal PM Scott Morrison, was elevated to his lofty position because he was a totally compromised Deep State puppet, not much different from Labor’s hopeless Albanese.
Scotty from marketing did retire with $52m in his bank account.
Incoming US President Donald Trump has put the Australian Labor Party on notice that he won’t tolerate their Marxists implementing United Nations climate, LGBTQ and immigration policies among other communist planks which have all but killed US and Australian hegemony.
Trump is an anathema to Deep State over which he is well advanced, demolishing their iron grip on the world economy, manufactured social upheavals and wars.
Coming back to Queensland politics, it is not yet known what control Deep State has over Liberal leader David Cristafulli or his elected members but those corporate, faceless men from the top end of town lurking in back rooms will be controlled assets.
Main stream media has long been a thorn in the side of Trump and his massive army of supporters. Likewise Australia where any media support for political parties outside of Deep State control is quickly suppressed and ridiculed by their foot soldiers of the MSM.
With a federal election due within six months Hanson, Katter and Palmer should be taking a long hard look at how many candidates they have burnt over the past three state and federal elections.
In this state election Hanson had a candidate in every seat creating 93 terribly disappointed One Nation members who scraped up every cent they could to stand for Pauline and Ashby, the defacto leader of One Nation and a Liberal operative.
Not one was elected.
One Nation for a long time essentially has been a vote harvesting operation for the party attracting $9.99 per vote over 4 per cent of the total votes cast in each electorate.
Over 93 seats, although some did not reach four per cent, One Nation will drag in a tidy sum of taxpayer funded largesse. How much will be returned to candidates has always been a hot issue with PHON. In the past not much has made its way back to hard-pressed members.
Should the hierarchy of the three independent parties ignore this devastating electoral result and try to nominate candidates federally, the result will be the same as usual.
A new collective identity is required to garner all those disaffected candidates and supporters from across the north to join for a common goal – to create a new, Constitutional North Queensland State.
KAP, PHON or UAP will take the north nowhere. There is a registered party name which fits the bill perfectly – Regional Australia Party.
There are federal members of parliament namely Senator Alex Antic, Senator Malcolm Roberts, Senator Gerard Rennick, Senator Matt Canavan, Bob Katter and Barnaby Joyce all of whom need a serving of humble pie before coming together to actually represent the Australian people in a new entity such as RAP.
What remains of the identity parties would be welcome to join under the RAP banner with a leader elected by RAP members.
Time to retire Pauline, Bob and Clive.
Cairns News suggests readers contact the above mentioned Senators and MHR’s asking them to join the new entity, RAP when it comes to the fore.
