Official register of sitting Queensland MPs: electorate, party, election date, previous representation, parliamentary service, party positions, local government service, birth date and education. The counterpart of the Former Members Register, used here because the subject is a sitting member.
Education: Bachelor of Applied Science (Property Economics), Queensland University of Technology.
Official register. Corroborated by the Wikipedia article: "He received a Bachelor of Applied Science in Property Economics from the Queensland University of Technology." No date of graduation is given by either source.
Local Government Service: Served on Mount Isa City Council since March 2008.
The register gives only the March 2008 start. The 2012 end is from the Wikipedia infobox "Other offices" list: "2008–2012: Mount Isa City Council". Mount Isa has no place row in this tree, so no placeId is set.
Election date: 24 March 2012 ... Previous representation: Mount Isa - KAP (24 Mar 2012 - 24 Nov 2017)
Official register, giving both the exact term dates and the party. Wikipedia adds the predecessor: "He won Mount Isa at the 2012 state election, pushing Labor incumbent Betty Kiernan into third place." Wikidata P39 gives the same term but ends it 25 Nov 2017 (polling day) rather than 24 Nov; the register's date is preferred.
Party Positions: (KAP) National Leader. 3 Feb 2020 (KAP) Queensland Leader. 2 Feb 2015 (KAP) Parliamentary Secretary. 29 Nov 2012
The register gives the 29 Nov 2012 start. The 2015 end is from the Wikipedia infobox "Other offices" list: "2012–2015: Parliamentary Secretary", consistent with his resuming the state leadership in February 2015.
Party Positions: (KAP) National Leader. 3 Feb 2020 (KAP) Queensland Leader. 2 Feb 2015 (KAP) Parliamentary Secretary. 29 Nov 2012
Official register gives the 2 Feb 2015 start and lists it as a current position. Wikipedia gives the cause: "Following Hopper's defeat at the 2015 election, Katter once again became state leader."
Party Positions: (KAP) National Leader. 3 Feb 2020
Official register. Corroborated by Wikipedia: "In February 2020, he was appointed leader of the Katter's Australian Party." This is the party-wide leadership, distinct from the Queensland parliamentary leadership he already held.
"Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment: 15 Dec 2023 - 27 Oct 2024" ... "Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment: 7 Oct 2021 - 14 Dec 2023" ... "Treasurer and Minister for Investment: 12 Nov 2020 - 6 Oct 2021" ... "Treasurer, Minister for Infrastructure and Planning: 11 May 2020 - 11 Nov 2020"
The four consecutive entries in the register's Past table are combined into one continuous term as Treasurer; the individual titles and dates are reproduced in the summary.
"Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment: 15 Dec 2023 - 27 Oct 2024"
From the Past ministries table. The English Wikipedia article gives the end date as 28 October 2024; the official register's 27 October 2024 is preferred.
"Admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland and all Federal Courts including the High Court of Australia, 1992. Previously employed as a solicitor in private practice and in the public sector."
Career section of the official register; biographical data of this kind is member-supplied, hence quality 2.
"Attorney-General of Tuvalu 1995-1996; Crown Counsel, Government of Tuvalu, 1993-1995." ... "International development volunteer in the South-West Pacific island nation of Tuvlau through the Australian Volunteers Abroad program, now Australian Volunteers International (1993-1996)."
Career and Notes sections of the official register; 'Tuvlau' is a typographical error for Tuvalu in the source and is quoted verbatim.
"Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws (University of Queensland); Master of Law (Trinity Hall, Cambridge, United Kingdom)"
Education section of the official register. No years are given, so the event carries no date. Place set to Brisbane, where the University of Queensland's main campus is.
Fetched 2026-08-28. The whole of what the Parliament publishes on its register about his family: married, two children. It corroborates the family row and its two children but names nobody - unlike his own speeches in Hansard, cited above, which do. The Birth Date line is reproduced as printed: the year is suppressed for sitting members.
Mr Robert (Robbie) Katter ... Personal Birth Date: 3 March 1977 (Townsville)
Official parliamentary register. Establishes the identification: the birth date 3 March 1977 and birthplace Townsville match the tree record (birthDate 3 MAR 1977, birthPlaceId 7 = Townsville, Queensland) exactly.
"Mr Robert (Robbie) Katter" ... "Member for Traeger (KAP)" ... "Birth Date: 3 March 1977 (Townsville)" ... "Education: Bachelor of Applied Science (Property Economics), Queensland University of Technology."
IDENTITY GATE for the new family below. Fetched 2026-08-28. The register gives 3 March 1977 AND Townsville - matching this record to the day and the town (Wikipedia says only 'North Queensland'). NOTE: unlike his father's former-member entry, this current-member entry carries NO 'Family' line at all, so it says nothing about a wife or children.
Identification. The official register gives the birthplace as Brisbane and records him as married with 2 children, matching the tree record (wife plus two sons). The register suppresses the day and month of birth for sitting members, so only the place is taken from here.
