The Akubra-clad leader of Katter's Australian Party (KAP) made his feelings known about the industry, one which he said wasn't worth a cent to the country.

It comes amid contentious plans by Grainger Energy - an industrial supply company with links to Chicago - to establish a presence in the Riverina.

The company has applied for petroleum titles to study what's under the surface of areas around Narrandera, Hay, Deniliquin and Griffith.

"The KAP are tigerish opponents of the coal seam gas industry, it is not worth two bob to Australia," Bob Katter told The Daily Advertiser during a fly-in, fly-out visit to the city.

"It, at maximum, will provide 2500 jobs in the Australian economy and for that we will sacrifice a significant proportion of our agriculture.

"Agriculture and inland Australia ... the cattle and sheep industries depend upon underground water supplies.

"They take the underground water supplies, they contaminate as well."

Mr Katter said there was "no money in it for anyone" because the majority of the industry was foreign-owned.

"So every dollar we earn just boomerangs out of the country again and you have to reflect upon the brains of the people who are pushing this industry, who handed the whole industry over to foreigners," he said.

His advice to Riverina farmers: "remember that your legal rights are real".

"And if you fight collectively they've got a lot of headaches, you can make life extremely, extremely unpleasant for them," Mr Katter said.

"In your local communities you'll get a bit of a sugar hit, there's no doubt that south-western Queensland is having a little moderate prosperity that'll last five or six years (but) underneath it then is nothing at all."

The well-known political identity was in Wagga for talks with Democratic Labour Party (DLP) president Paul Funnell.

Those discussions centred around the formation of an alliance to help give regional residents "true representation".

"It's a really good, positive step towards giving a voice to the people," Mr Funnell said.

"The DLP and Katter (Party) have so much in common ... we agree on so many issues.

"There must be something in between (the two major parties) and that's the void we fill."

"I think that most thinking Australians would say that we've now reached a hiatus in Australia where 20 per cent of the people will simply not vote for the major political parties," Mr Katter added.

"But because we're scattering that 20 per cent all over the place ... we're not winning seats and we're not threatening the major parties."

WAGGA City Council will debate the implementation of an indefinite moratorium on coal seam gas (CSG) exploration at its meeting on Monday night.

The moratorium - the basis of a report to be tabled by Councillor Paul Funnell - would cover all council-controlled land in the Wagga Local Government Area.

The report also calls for a state government assessment of the impact CSG activity has on the sustainability of agricultural production and aquifers in the area.

"CSG is fraught with danger, the risks are enormous," Cr Funnell said.

"There's no fixing it, if it goes wrong.

"I haven't found one farmer who is interested in letting (companies) onto their property."
