💥 Delivering Real Results for Hinchinbrook
In the 57th term of Parliament, I introduced three private members' bills that sought to tackle critical issues affecting Hinchinbrook and North Queensland. Here’s what they aimed to achieve:
1️⃣ 2021 Reef Regulations Bill – Farmers are being punished by Labor's overreaching reef regulations. This bill sought to reverse Labor's unfair rules that are strangling our agricultural industry. Farmers know how to manage their land, and this bill would protect the future of agriculture in North Queensland. Both Labor and the LNP voted this down.
2️⃣ 2022 Ethanol Mandate Bill – This bill sought to mandate a 9% ethanol blend in E10 fuel, as a way to boost our local sugar industry. A stronger biofuels industry in Queensland means more options for our sugar cane farmers, and would reduce our dependence on imported fuels. Both Labor and the LNP voted this down.
3️⃣ 2024 Castle Doctrine Bill (Castle Law) – This bill would give homeowners the legal right to defend themselves against intruders without facing prosecution regardless of the outcome. If someone threatens your family in your own home, you should have the right to protect them—this bill would have made sure you can do that. The Labor Government deliberately dragged this bill out so that it could not be voted on before parliament was dissolved at the start of October. Neither of the major parties supported the Castle law bill.
Each of these bills was about delivering real, practical solutions for Hinchinbrook. Sadly, neither of the major parties see it this way. If either of the major parties took over Hinchinbrook that would be the demise of our ag industry, our freedom to fish and enjoy the outdoors would be restricted and youth crime would go unchecked.
This week make your vote count. I'm one of us working for all of us and I look forward to doing just that for another four years.

I wish the castle doctrine bill had have got up
That’s fantastic Nick, love the fact you are representing all of us in North Queensland. Stand by you 100%
You’ve got everyone in your electorate supporting you mate keep up the great work mate
The LNP sure know how to clear the room when it comes to the important issues such as high power prices 🧐⚡️💰
In April this year, the ALP and LNP joined forces to sign Queensland up for higher electricity costs by voting for a 75% emissions reduction target by 2035—all in the name of achieving net zero.
In June 2024, KAP moved a motion in Parliament giving the LNP the opportunity to set the record straight and commit to righting this wrong.
The result was nothing but pure political cowardice from the LNP as they EVACUATED THE CHAMBER with military precision to abstain from voting on the motion.
Even when things get tough the KAP will keep showing up, fighting for fairness and common-sense energy policy.

But if you listen to the lnp you guys are voting with labor not them 🤣 keep them honest Nick Dametto MP
I have been very disappointed by the LNP this year. Sure the LNP will still be better than the ALP but we need Katter's Australian Party to hold the balance of power to keep them honest (pardon the puns!).
Power prices increased by over 23% Now the ERGON charges for Service to your home has increased to $117 .00 .. No other business can do this, but ERGON as its the only provider AND GOVERNMENT RUN
