We need to be represented by people who care about us, not what they take from us.

All of regional Queensland needs to be given a voice , but sadly ONLY North Queensland has the numbers to make it a possibility.

I will be paying my membership fees and if need be registering to vote once I move back to my beloved North Queensland. 





RESIDENTS pushing for North Queensland to become a separate state say they are fed up with no water, high unemployment and a lack of political representation.

The NQ State group plans to recruit 500 members to enable them to be recognised as a political party.

They held their first public meeting on Saturday, where water security, high bankruptcy levels and unemployment were hot topics.

President Peter Raffles said there had been a long-held desire for North Queensland to become a separate state dating back to federation.

“The ultimate objective is to win the balance of power in parliament so that we get a referendum,” he said.

“That way we’re the ones making the decisions that affect us. It’s not OK that we have ended up with Level 3 water restrictions, it’s not OK that we have ended up with some of the worst unemployment figures in the country, the worst bankruptcy figures in the country and so we want to change that.”

The State Government has previously ruled out allowing North Queenslanders to have a referendum on secession.

Of the country’s 76 senators, only four are in Northern Australia and only two are north of Gladstone.

As an independent state we can actually do whatever we want.




One thing is for certain we will continue to not give a fkk about what some fkkhead southerner thinks.

Yes very droll, you southerners are just so fkken smart, I can see the hours of mental toil to get that to be as funny as you could make it.

No, you can't actually because the Commonwealth has so many of its fingers in the pie that they won't let little North Queensland dictate to them what to do. You kidding?

The only real solution is to restore Federalism and give more power to the States and local communities. Creating another State ain't gonna do anything.

Power to the Commonwealth is ok.
But Federal responsibility is to the International scene as a priority, not the Domestic needs of the country.

True - those little Hobbits down in the Shire under that grassy green hill known as Bag End, sure do get the best of everything in this country.

Jeez I didn't think I had to wrote a small book on what that meant.


Read it in the context of not being dictated to by the SE Queensland government from which we seek independence; not the fkken commonwealth government.


Don't read what isn't there, Fkkk Me!

Just how much am I scamming out of regional Qld.

So how much is the government scamming.

Look. If you are gonna break off from Queensland and create your own 'other' State and create more paperwork for the Federal (Commonwealth also stands for 'other countries around the world' too) and ask for more hand-outs and relief packages from the Federal level...
...then just man up and go the full monty and become your own self-sufficient grown up adult 'NATION' of your own!

Don't pussy-foot around.
The Riverina long ago nearly became an Independent Nation during the Water War's and that was due to circumstance, not a whim.

Anyway, be patient. The future King of the UK will remove the Union Jack from the Aussie Flag with the statement "We are sick of you Aussies 'sponging' off us and we are going to sell you off! So long and thanks for all the fish!" Then you'll see this part of the world 'fall apart'

The Queensland government decides what the Queensland budget will be not the commonwealth.

They decide if North Queensland will get a PET Scanner (No) or the Sunny Coast will get a $1.8 bil teaching hospital that no university want or needs (Yes).

The Queensland government alone makes the decision to spend more on one single infrastructure project for SEQ than they will spend on the entire rest of Queensland. no-one else.

Now dry those tears little fella and try not be an idiot in future; in the real world stupidity is not rewarded with a pat on the back.
