	Rural MP's defection exposes rifts in Australia's governing coalition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Bob Katter, the MP for the northern Queensland electorate of Kennedy announced on July 8 that he would resign from the federal parliamentary National Party and contest the next general election—due within months—as an independent.
		Katter has said that his resignation was triggered by an angry meeting of local tobacco farmers, who warned him that he would lose his seat if he did not break with the government.
		Whatever the immediate calculations of Katter and his associates, whose financial backers reportedly include prominent rural businessmen, his defection is symptomatic of the disintegration of the National Party, one of the central institutions of Australian parliamentary politics.

		Katter was handed a briefing memo which had been compiled by his undersecretary, Patrick Killoran.
		Katter deplored Killoran’s oft-repeated assertions that the government was not liable to pay award wages, and that successive legal actions settled out of court somehow vindicated department policy.
		He reminded his colleagues that since 1980 the solicitor-general had concluded that the prospect of successfully resisting payment of award wages was far from good, and informed them that the present solicitor-general, the minister for justice, and the minister for industrial affairs had all confirmed the government would lose several pending legal challenges.

		Reportedly, the party is “in talks” with maverick Independent MP Bob Katter, in a fairly audacious attempt to lure the “Mad Hatter” into the fold.
		Posted by: peter robertson at May 17, 2006 09:32 AM Bob Katter seems to me a bit of a nut, but he's always been spot on about one thing: the huge damage done to many communities by the economic polices by the last 20-30 years.

		Katter denied he was deserting a “sinking ship”, given poor nationwide polling results for the Coalition in recent months, saying he could no longer support Howard government policies that hurt rural people.
		Katter was rumored to be toying with linking up with Pauline Hanson's One Nation party —; although that now seems doubtful, given Hanson is again in legal trouble, facing charges of fraud over the registration of her party several years ago.
		Katter is now angling for the formation of a loose alliance of old-style Country Party independents, intent on grabbing the balance of power in federal parliament after the coming elections.

		Well Mr Katter has left the National Party, I presume he will leave the National Party, I read in the paper that he is going to leave the National Party and he is going to make his announcement tomorrow.
		Bob’s not really been seeing eye to eye with the National Party for a long period of time, he has not been a good attender in the Parliament.
		Bob’s one of those characters, but he couldn’t really, I think, bring himself to work with his colleagues, so I don’t think it would be any great surprise to his colleagues to see that he has decided to go his own way.

		Katter has always enjoyed strong support in his electorate of Kennedy; indeed, in the last elections everyone bar the Nationals was convinced he would hold on to his throne, which he managed to do despite waves of bad press.

		BOB HARRIS: The Nationals have more or less just gone over and become free market economists, with the result that you're seeing subsidies increase in other countries, while ours are going down and at the same time our farmers have been told to stand on their own two feet.
		BOB HARRIS: Well, essentially the National get back and look after --be unashamedly there to look after the rural interests.
