North Queensland First was a political party founded and based in the state of Queensland by former Queensland MP Whitsunday Jason Costigan .[4] Liberal National Party .[5]
History [ edit ]
After being expelled by the Liberal National Party ,[6] Independent MP Whitsunday , Jason Costigan created the North Queensland First Party.
In response to the foundation of the new political party, Katter's Australian Party leader Robbie Katter said: "We are doers, we have left the others for dead in terms of what we have done. We can all talk a big game but it is about who will have a seat in Parliament."[7]
As of 2023, the party's website is a dead link, although it previously redirected to the webpage of the Democratic Party of Queensland, another minor state-level party.[8]
Objective [ edit ]
In the published constitution of the party, it states three objectives of the party:[9]
(a ) to promote and deliver Self-Government and Statehood for North Queensland;
(b ) the election of MPs to the Queensland Parliament;
(c ) to give specific voice in the Queensland Parliament to the desires and expectations of the people of North Queensland.
The party's website stated that "North Queensland First is a conservative, pro-North Queensland political party and believes that Queensland and Australia was founded on traditional Christian values, notwithstanding our respect for people from non-Christian backgrounds."[10]
