“The election of Trump and the decision on Brexit puts the official tombstone over the free market tiers,” Mr Katter said.
He said American voters’ dissatisfaction against free market policies benefiting new economies such as China, Brazil and India, needs to reach Australia.
“These sort of people must now rise up in Australia,” the Federal Member for Kennedy said on live video on social media on Thursday morning. He also published another video on Youtube.
Mr Katter said the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was dead.
He criticised the TPP as it would transfer large amounts of Australian sovereignty to international authorities.
Yet Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull publicly highlighted the TPP’s benefits this week, Mr Katter said.
“He’s espousing it while Trump is declaring it dead and every commentator, I heard three of them last night, was declaring it dead.
“The agricultural spokesman for the ALP said...he didn’t think the TPP is dead. It was good as dead as his policies and viewpoints, and that of his party.”
Mr Trump’s presidency and the British’s decision to ‘Brexit’ from the European Union showed “a new age is dawning”.
“The Xenophons, the One Nations, and I promise you a great cataract. The policies we have espoused that are now put in place in the United States and in Great Britain will rebound into Australia.”
Mr Katter said Mr Trump’s policies will be of detriment to Australia’s key parties.
He said much money had been made by city based groups which he described as “city suits in tapestry towers” who imported goods from overseas or sold Australian assets.
“We have to buy from overseas to make the city suits rich. Now we’re in the situation of ‘what do we sell?’” Mr Katter said. “Ha ha. What do we sell?”
