Townsville faces its demons as hero-turned villain comes back from the political dead auspol | michaelkoziol

The United Australia Party is far from the only minor party in the game in Herbert. Katter's Australian Party is running a candidate, One Nation is parachuting someone in from central Queensland and Fraser Anning's newly-minted Conservative National Party is in the mix too.

"Maybe it says a lot about hope around town that he will actually pay off those [workers'] entitlements and inject those funds back into the community," Rains says. As a former union delegate at Queensland Nickel and a Labor Party member, Larkins' own political views are set in stone. But even she concedes that voters flirting with Palmer have a right to be disappointed with the major parties.

michaelkoziol Why does Queensland keep unleashing political nutcases on Australia. Katter, Hanson, Palmer, Christiansen, Anning, I would argue that we would be better off if eligibility to enter federal politics ended at the Tweed.
