1. “A Pathetic Gesture”: Katter Slams the Freeze

2. The Death of the Local Pub

3. A Call for Permanent Reform

4. Pressure Mounting on Labor

The Member for Kennedy’s intervention comes at a sensitive time for the Labor Party, as they struggle to manage the “cost-of-living” narrative. Katter has signaled that he will make this a primary issue in upcoming legislative sessions, vowing to “make life very uncomfortable” for any politician who votes to let the tax increases resume.
