The left should support Katter’s Australian Party. It’s got a hard-line position on coal seam gas. It’s against economic rationalism. It’s deeply concerned about the state of our hospitals. It’s opposed to further privatisation.
Currently, the Australian Party is seeking to contest upcoming Australian elections. It is opposed to the Tea Party on most economic matters. It also differs from the One Nation Party in that it has an active economic agenda (conservative, anti-free market policies; and support for collective bargaining).
The Australian Party is also a non-racist party, and it actively supports egalitarian policies for Indigenous Australians. The party (mostly) does not actively pursue socially conservative policies. Have a look on the website and you’ll see most of the issues aren’t social ones, they’re economic. Although social conservatism is usually associated with issues such as abortion, the party doesn’t have a position on this (or most solely social policy issues): that’s a matter of social conscience for individual party members.

The Australia Party understands that inhibiting the free market will benefit their conservative ideas by stagnating society. Something the “left” are too retarded to realise.

A candidate was kicked out of the Party for even asking what its position is on same-sex marriage. KAP is, at its core, socially conservative.
