Following Hopper’s defeat at the 2015 election, Katter once again became state leader.
The state electorate of Mount Isa was abolished in 2017, and Katter followed most of his constituents into the new seat of Traeger. The new seat was essentially the northern, more urbanized portion of Katter’s former seat, and is based on Mount Isa. The seat was created as a comfortably safe KAP seat, and Katter won it handily.
