Indy: "Any of them beneficial to the electorate ?"

That's irrelevant in modern Australia, the electorate is there to serve the member these days, in effect anyway.
This applies across the board, irrespective of the Party concerned.
Welcome to the joys of the Two Party System, a game of good cop/bad cop played on Aussies by the political elite.

Ah! Palmer is practicing Free Speech! The conservatives should be supporting Palmer's right, and Lambie's by the way, to say whatever they want. Where's Bolt when you need him?

He was voted into parliament in free and fair elections and therefore has a mandate....

It's not only the Liberals who get to go on about their mandate and wreak havoc. Others have the same right surely?

Clive is no friend of the people. He's there because he believes he has something to gain and he doesn't care who or what he takes down to get it. Our Senate is a joke and our only hope is that once Big Clive double crosses his coalition of independents they break ties with this egomaniac. Honestly, no one in their right mind has any faith he will actually fulfil any of his big ideas. The sooner he's gone the better.

What ever happened to his grand plans for the Titanic, or was it just a publicity stunt like his dinosaurs?

Clive's got dinosaurs?

Now that I'd pay to see! :-)

Clive has a certain basic appeal to some sections of the primate community, as does Ron! Both are chasing the monkey vote. Nothing upsets a politician more than another poly trying to steal his constituency.
Indi, have you written to Clive about your "non-military national service"? Interest to get Big Clive's reaction.

Both are chasing the monkey vote.
Paul1405,
In that case you might soon see peanuts thrown around your nearest Universities.
