Bob Katter Kennedy, Katter's Australian Party

To the minister for northern development: Minister, are you aware that 'Red Ted' Theodore's home, the Chillagoe mineral province, was the birth place of a labour movement? Liberals chanted, 'Red Ted better dead.' With the advent of industrial-scale mining, Chillagoe, without port access, was choked into oblivion. West of Cairns are six of Australia's eight biggest rivers. Doesn't this necessitate building the $1,000 million bridle track tunnel, thereby accessing the port and exploding North Queensland's current mineral, food, timber and industrial production to over $21,000 million a year?
