KAP health spokesman Dr Damien Byrnes axed from party's shadow cabinet for role in destroying election signage A MEMBER of the Katter Australia Party shadow cabinet has been dumped before his post was officially announced after he was fined for his part in the destruction of election signage. Cairns-based doctor Damien Byrnes was to be the KAP's health spokesman but was this morning replaced by Lynne Bishop. "He is not going to be our shadow health spokesperson," State Leader Ray Hopper said of Mr Byrnes during a fiery press conference in which he repeatedly attempted to brush off questions on the issue. He will be assisting her. Mr Byrnes has been fined $1000 with no conviction recorded. Mr Hopper said the party would be considering the issue but insisted they were "moving forward." He said it was hoped their 40-member shadow cabinet would help them keep the Newman Government to account.
