From our Tablelands correspondent
There was a One Nation revival on the Atherton Tablelands when Senator Malcolm Roberts met with a packed room of constituents on Tuesday night.
Due to the cancellation of the Cairns meeting at the weekend, some supporters made the trek up the dangerous Kuranda Range Road to attend the Atherton meeting along with many other Tablelands and Mareeba residents.

More than 140 people sat anxiously wanting to hear from Senator Roberts about a host of issues which they said are affecting their daily lives and those of their children.
There was much interaction between Senator Roberts, his policy aide Richard Hopkins and the audience and from repeated questions the lingering effects of the Covid pandemic featured prominently.
Terms of Reference for a Covid Royal Commission which was the brainchild of Roberts, was navigated through the senate by him and other conscientious representatives. It was the first time many in the audience knew about it. https://malcolmrobertsqld.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0d0298ad8de0084fd26150fc5&id=7f69359045&e=c2b2fbf3ab
While this inquiry should have been front page news particularly for those many thousands of vaccine damaged victims of the national Covid vaccine rollout, it has received scant mention in the national media.
The proposed Terms of Reference prepared by retired barrister Julian Gillespie and solicitors Peter Fam and Katie Ashby-Koppen, has been heralded by independent media as an ‘incredible brief which has left no stone unturned.’
Senator Roberts said the people’s terms of reference submission was one of the most comprehensive and accurate summaries of the Covid pandemic mismanagement in the country.
Answering questions from worried parents about gender dysphoria in the Queensland education curriculum which was teaching students United Nations transgenderism and sexual mutilation, Roberts said there were only two sexes, male and female.
“Education starts at birth and I urge parents to get involved in their children’s schooling. I am very concerned about this and what it is doing to our kids,” he said. “In Victoria if parents tell their children ‘you are a boy,’ the parents can be sent to jail.”
Among other concerning issues for the gathering were the possible takeover of Australian health authorities by the World Health Organisation, loss of property rights and water rights, the planned cashless society and Digital ID.
