Katter’s Australian Party
KAP’s Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter, wants to see a monster program rolled out immediately to build missile-equipped patrol boats and drone delivery platforms well as a high school cadet program in which every cadet would be ‘introduced to using a gun’.
To sure up Australia’s borders, and to protect itself from a potential threat, Mr Katter said the Government must act on building a missile fortress wall comprising patrol boat and drone delivery platforms. He says the construction can take place immediately from places like Cairns, Adelaide and Perth.
He also wants to commence a cadet program in Australian schools to ensure the population of high-schoolers are familiar with, and understand how to bear arms should the need arise, instead of as a reaction, as they are currently doing in the Ukraine.
“Each student at every school in Australia should be allocated a semi-automatic combat rifle and taught how to use it responsibly, in a very controlled way. This could be rolled out within a matter of six months. Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Israel – every single one of those countries have done this, and it is what Australia had also done for most of the last century,” Mr Katter said.
“You’ll find that if they do this; they will become steadfast patriots as sure as night follows day. And if anyone wants to try something with Australia, they will face a guerrilla army of five million strong. Every single military book you read will tell you that for every guerrilla, you need 20 conventional troops.
“We are a country of Europeans, exposed in an ocean, surrounded by Asia. We are a country that is mostly empty, but so rich in value. So, we must do these things to protect our country, and we must do them at breakneck speed. We must,” he said.
With Russia and China’s authoritarian and imperialist leaders, Mr Katter said that the threat to Australia was real and that many of the world’s most well-known wars have been over access to oil; an issue he has been driving hard for the better part of the last two years.
“If you want to start a war, you embargo oil. That’s what everybody does. The Arab countries have done it many times where they have cut off the oil and the price of fuel skyrockets. The first world war was precipitated by Winston Churchill, quite rightly, taking control of the world’s oil for the Anglos. The second world war, America embargoed petrol going into Japan and in Europe, it was simply about Hitler trying to get to the oilfields in Stalingrad and the Bolivian desert.
“If you think I’m talking through my hat, I was saying this last year, and China did cut off a fuel for Australia, because some imbecile said, “all diesel must contain a Urea formula called AdBlue”. And the only place we could get the Urea from was China, so they cut it off.
“Did they do it because the world pricing had gone up, or because of some domestic issue? Or did they do it to serve a warning shot in Australia to “shut up and behave yourself or we’ll give you the full hog?” Mr Katter said.
“Most of our fuel comes out of Singapore and South Korea. Almost all of it comes out of refineries in or adjacent to the South China Sea. No one is going to defy China. So now you’ve got three days supply of petrol or oil, realistically. Others claim there is three weeks supply. Well, if they cut us off, there will be lines 2km long at all the petrol stations around the country and that fuel will be gone. And remember they’ve already done it with AdBlue.
“The only person who blew the whistle and got action on AdBlue was me. And the only reason I did it was because our candidate in Townsville blew the whistle first. I checked it out with transport operators and pressured the Government to act. If I hadn’t, all the trucks would have been off the road by the third week in February.”

Absolutely everyone should have the right to bear arms.
Thomas
What about convicted violent criminals?
Jillien
Thomas Walters they already have access to them.
Ben
Thomas Walters the right to bear arms should be universal with exceptions such as those convicted of violent offences and mental incompetents etc. Really not that hard to work out
Daniel
😂😂 Great idea, but the globalists that run Australia don’t want ‘steadfast patriots’. They want the opposite.
Kristie
It’s an old school concept. What you’re asking for is National Service Scheme. Also a catch 22. To the right person you will build valuable survival skills that can be of benefit OR to the wrong person you will create a much bigger and more dangerous public nuisance than we already have joy riding about the countryside with possessions that do not belong to them.

Kristie Betteridge The bad guys already have guns.

I think a cadet Corps in schools is a great idea. I also think drones and small high-powered missile boats are a great idea. I am unconvinced about national service though, I think you could increase participation massively by greater incentives.
John
The world of reality is here. We are better off doing the preparations necessary to at least give people an understanding of future possible scenarios rather than neglect their knowledge and ability to protect themselves and others. We have seen in the Ukraine just how fast things can change. Hopefully they won’t need to use the knowledge.
Ray
I never ever thought of voting for Bob but if militarising our country against the real China threat and national service which would give Australia millions of trained service people it should be happening right now ,we should never wait until the very clever Chinese make the first move!!! If that’s your agenda, Bob, you have my vote!!!
Jesse
Good old Katter. Gotta love him. Keep up the good work mate, you might be mad as a cut snake but we love ya all the same.
Terry
Bob, before any thing happen, we must get rid of the goody goody’s and start protecting our country. Take control of immigration.
Casandra
It just makes me so sad that in this day and age, in an apparent so called civilised world that this should even need to be contemplated.
Carole
The left wing socialists have been dumbing down our kids for years! They want a one-world government, not an Australia that will fight for freedom.
Craig
Let every Australian with a clean police record hold a gun license.
Gary
There is a lot sense in training youth in responsible manner – building corps up. Enshine 3 years national service. Start with unemployed who refuse to work. We should be learning what’s going on in Europe. Australia is very vulnerable
Lynn
The current lying corrupt traitors in Australian government are determined to turn Australia into a socialist country just like Cuba where the public have no rights.
Coral
If you hope to bring a Cadet program back into all the schools, you need to have a teacher in each school who is willing to run it. Before anyone can be handed a gun, there will be a need to change the weak behaviour management system. Otherwise idiots will end up blowing each other and their teachers away.
Jade
Bring back conscription.
Glenn
Do agree. We need to increase our defense. Guerrilla war! I’m a vet, armed security, security patrol man, doorman, AQUIS & local laws officer. Me with a good rifle, with other vet’s, in the Aussie bush are more of a danger to an invading force… See more
Glenn
Honestly, unless there is a Big swing against the 4 Major parties this is all a pipe dream.
Morgz
I was in a Guerilla Youth Force. My kids are as well.
Nigel
This is the best thing I’ve read in the past decade or two 🙏
Brett
A small variation Bob. Have National Service for everyone between the ages of 18 and 20 with no exemptions. If you can’t join the armed forces, then work on the land producing fuel, food or fibre. Then repeat every year for 20 years. No exemptions – administrators, armed personnel, producers.
Ukraine are arming civilians now – a bit late. Should have done it last time. Great for us to have hindsight, so start ASAP.
Barry
We need Something!
Ron
We need to arm all ex service men and woman and the law abiding citizens for the defence of our families friends and our country NOW, before it is to late.
