Queensland Labor will take a hit at the state election over its support for the coal seam gas (CSG) industry, federal independent MP Bob Katter says.
Mr Katter, whose fledgling political party is contesting the poll, visited an anti-CSG blockade on a farm near Beaudesert, south of Brisbane, on Tuesday.
Police have arrested and charged 13 people since the protest camp was set up on a farm at Kerry on January 12.
"There is a terrific community build-up on coal seam gas, and if that reflects itself at the polls in the state election, which I think it will, then it'll be a wake-up call for the whole of the rest of Australia," Mr Katter told reporters.
