Political Position.

Currently there is no stated political position for Katter's Australian party. Based on my understanding it a conservative or right-wing.

Can we reach a consensus and add it to the infobox? BrendonJH (talk) 12:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't reflect the position of reliable secondary sources, which we recently examined when we formed a consensus not to include any such label. Any proposal to change that consensus would need to present convincing evidence that we missed some very authoritative sources. Even during the campaign for today's state election, sources have continued to avoid any left/right labels except when discussing their stances on particular issues. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 14:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- This man defies labels, and understanding by us mere mortals. It seems at some point (2012-2014ish) he openly identified with the label of "agrarian socialist", but more recently has been negatively referring to firearms regulations as "typical socialism", and the KAP doesn't seem to have formally used the label, at least not in about a decade. I don't think its simple enough to reduce to "socially conservative, fiscally liberal", I think the only accurate label would be "Katterist" SomerIsland (talk) 06:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard locals in his area describe Bob Katter as a Big Hat Populist, but I can't provide a source. HiLo48 (talk) 07:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
