Reported at www.abc.net.au: Queensland MP Robbie Katter advocates for an increase in the number of state representatives to enhance rural representation, whilst noting that his electorate of Traeger is larger than Poland and poses significant management challenges.

Katter argues that the current structure favours urban areas, leading to an imbalance in representation that inadequately addresses the needs of rural regions, where much of the state’s wealth is generated.

An independent review of the electoral boundaries is upcoming, but any increase in parliamentary seats would require legislative changes, which the government has not ruled out.
