Admittedly a number of Katter's Australian Party policies are bordering on the impractical and the unachievable,and with a couple of them - they're downright oxymoron. But having said that, KAP offers some very rational, no-nonsense, back to basics ones which definitely deserve a fair hearing. Especially when the two KAP MP's could decide which party governs Queensland.
Right now Robbie Katter and Shane Knuth certainly have a lot more aces up their sleeve than anybody in the Labor Party has got, premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, treasurer Curtis Pitt and various other senior Labor figures are in no position to be completely unmovable and unwillingly to compromise to meet the KAP boys 'half way or close to it' on certain issues where KAP's and Labor's core ideology clash.
From the time when Palaszczuk knew she had the magic number of 45 MP's on her side to form government her biggest endeavor should have been to make this Labor government one of consensus and centrist orientated sensibility, one which is open to negotiation, not closed off to it. Credit where credit is due, Rob Katter and Shane Knuth are trying to be reasonable and are willing to compromise on some issues where Labor simply wont.
