Katter's Australia Party may hold balance of power post QLD election, advocating for agricultural growth through the Bradfield Scheme reform.
Bob Katter, a veteran North Queensland politician and founder of Katter's Australia Party, is optimistic about his party's potential to hold the balance of power in Canberra or Brisbane after the Queensland election. Advocating for agricultural growth, he supports diverting coastal rivers inland and reviving the 1938 Bradfield Scheme to irrigate western Queensland. Katter believes this could double agricultural output and improve flood risk management, despite past challenges in implementing such proposals.
