File image: Russell Shakespeare Source: News Limited KEY independent Bob Katter says he will consider a plan by the Coalition which could trigger an early August 3 election. The maverick Queenslander said it would be his "duty" to consider a motion of no-confidence in the government which would spark an early rush to the polls. Manager of opposition business in the lower house Christopher Pyne reportedly wrote to all key independents last night scouting out their support for such a move. Mr Katter said he had received the letter. "It would be our duty to seriously consider it of course," Mr Katter told News Limited this morning. I do think that a number of decisions have been made by the government which have created a great deal of anger in the public community and that's the sort of argument that entitles the opposition to do something like this. But Mr Katter said he would reserve his position until the motion was actually put to the house. He said he would request meetings with Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard over the mater in coming days. The election is not due until September 14 but if a successful no-confidence motion was passed by the parliament, the Gillard government could no longer credibly lead the country. An election for both houses cannot be called until July 1 and the Coalition is pushing for an August 3 poll. The Coalition threatened a motion of no-confidence earlier this month as the government's budget position worsened. It said it would put the motion to the parliament on Budget day May 14. But the Coalition backed away from the position saying it would seek to bring on such a motion "at the prudent time." Opposition treasury spokesman Joe Hockey said this morning the no-confidence motion was being revived because parliament was in "chaos." The bottom line here is Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott, Bob Katter - they've all got to make up their minds now. Either we get on with an election or we continue with this chaos," he told the Seven Network. Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd labelled the move a "political stunt." "I think we just see a bit of arrogance, in fact a lot of arrogance creep in to what the Liberals are saying and doing," Mr Rudd said. Mr Abbott and the Liberals believe they have got this (election) in the bag and arrogance is a bad thing. Other independents Rob Oakeshott, Tony Windsor, Andrew Wilkie, Peter Slipper and Craig Thomson are yet to return News Limited's request for comment.
