"Deregulate industries like dairy;"

he said that

 

[Graney]

I assume he just wants unlimited water use and land clearing, but would regulate for farmers to be paid higher prices for milk which consumers purchase at lower prices.

 

[Jimmy Recard]

well increasing water use etc would lower costs and lead to higher profits for the dairy famers

It's funny how greens supporters are making him out to be some "ULTRA right wing nut job!11", when, ignoring the fact that such a term is meaningless, his positions are far closer to theirs than liberal or labor.

 

[cosmo kramer]

[cosmo kramer]

He's a protectionist. Insofar as they both believe in government playing a large role economically, true. But in terms of their opinion of what sort of role the government should be playing in it's largess, they are miles apart. Do you think Katter wants to massively increase arts funding or do you think the Greens want to massively increase agricultural subsidies? To say nothing of the non-economic policy differences.

He is pretty much a dead set protectionist type

smacks of greenie/socialist

I didn't say they were the same, fuck

I said more similar than the other parties

its nice to act like your position is all nuanced and shit, but the kind of heavily increased market intervention that the greens and katter argue for respectively ultimately leads down the same path

Sif you could imagine what happens in any play at all. Cosmo staring at the Opera House or the Seymour centre, wondering what ungodliness goes on within.
