It was formed by the Independent Federal Member of Parliament, Bob Katter, with a registration application lodged to the Australian Electoral Commission in 2011, and has been the party's federal parliamentary leader since that time, while his son Robbie is the leader in Queensland. It is only in representation of both state and federal level in Queensland. The party's current main competition is the Palmer United Party, both on a state and federal level. Katter was re-elected under the party's label at the 2013 federal election, while the party also won two seats at the 2012 state election in Queensland, which it retained at the 2015 state election. ==Policies== The party's policies closely mirror those of Katter, including support for industry (both agricultural and manufacturing) and opposition to privatisation and deregulation. The party's first policies announced by Katter include: *Opposition to the carbon tax and emission trading schemes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Katter's Australian Party )〕 *Support for alternative energy such as ethanol and solar energy.〔 This is to "Reduce carbon emissions well beyond any current carbon reducing initiatives planned by the State and Federal Government." *Legislate to limit Woolworths and Coles duopoly to 22.5 per cent market share each.〔 *Marriage to remain as a union between a man and a woman in the ''Marriage Act 1961''. *Halt any privatisation and renationalise privatised assets.〔 This is to prevent the situation of "...overseas companies owning basic services will need big profits for their shareholders. You would pay for the profits with price hikes to basic services" *All government spending on goods to be on Australian products where possible.〔 *Ensure that any construction contracts undertaken using Australian government funds will use Australian steel. *Prevent the extraction of coal seam gas within three kilometers of an aquifer. *Every motor vehicle purchased under a government contract (arguably over 20% of Australia's motor vehicles) will be Australian made. *All clothing for Armed Forces, Police, Prisons to be manufactured in Australia. *Maintain government support for Australia's domestic ethanol industry and mandate the use of ethanol in petrol; in order to curb Australia's carbon footprint and to support native grain and sugar industries. *Restore vital irrigation water to agriculture in the Murray Darling Basin. *No exploration or mining activity will be permitted on landholders' property without the landholder's consent. *Implement "orderly" marketing where industry structures undermine reasonable market power to producers (as perceived currently in dairy, egg and sugar industries). *Significantly increase customs duty on products coming into Australia.〔 *Restore individual rights, such as "fishing freely and boiling a billy without a permit". *Government must ensure that all workers, especially farmers, are able to collectively bargain for their own economic interests.〔 *Government must stop the use of 457 visas by big business as a means to replace or undermine Australian workers and Australian award pay and conditions. *Mandate premium shelf space on Australian supermarkets for Australian manufactured goods. *Promote the construction of new dams for irrigation and hydro electricity generation. *Deliver better road and rail infrastructure to facilitate regional investment. *Deliver more effective and efficient power transmission networks. *Establish a government-owned development bank to facilitate investment into productive industries. *Increase bio-security and quarantine laws, in order to maintain Australia's disease free status. *Prevent the sale of essential assets, public or private, including agricultural land and resource assets, to foreign companies and/or sovereign entities without caveats to protect the national interest. *Government must ensure and limit against corporate monopolisation.〔 *Essential services such as air travel, water, electricity, gas, health services, road networks, public transport and communications should be provided by government.〔 *Personal home ownership must be made easier by government implemented policies.〔 *It is the duty of government to ensure bank lending creates real wealth in terms of improvements of the quality of life for the average Australian.〔 *It the responsibility of the government encourage and protect whistle blowers as an important method of discovery of the real health and performance of the public sector; and implement regular, random, independent and external professional audits of the public service sector. Although Katter himself is known to be a staunch social conservative, the party (mostly) does not actively pursue socially conservative policies, focusing mainly on economic issues. Although social conservatism is usually associated with issues such as abortion, the party doesn't have a position on this (or most solely social policy issues) – as it is considered a matter of social conscience for individual party members. Many of the party's economic stances echo 1950s Labor policy, reflecting the roots of Katter's father, Bob, Sr. in Labor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katter's Australian Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
