<< Luddy, mate that is garbage I'm afraid.

The whole reason for Palmer united is that the LNP, & Newman would not give Palmer what he wanted, after they got into power. He had expected that as a large donor he would get whatever he wanted. >>

Yair Hazza, you’re probably right. But whatever Palmer’s motives for getting into politics, it would still be a damn good thing to have a senate inquiry that looked at the cosy relationship between big political donors and the favourable decisions they get, amongst a host of other things. So I hope Palmer continues to push for this and is successful in making it happen.

Oh yeah?
Clive's going to get an investigation going into the murky political/business overlap is he? One that would automatically apply to HIM too?
I don't think I'll hold my breath for that one!
Quite apart from the fact that only politicians can set up such an inquiry, and set the terms for it?
Unless you or someone else is planning a coup I can't honestly see any real change, now or in the future, can you?

Big Clive is getting flak for having what the Lefties lack, gonads & an appreciation to be from this country. All he's trying to do is protect it from the Lefties ruining it.
I'm waiting for his support for a non-military national service.

Indi, based on what Big Clive spruiks and what you post, I believe you and Clive could be two peas in a pod.
<<I'm waiting for his support for a non-military national service>> Only if you agree to name it the 'Big Clive Memorial Boot Camp' and drop any reference to Gomer Pyle. You see, Big Clive is very much into self promotion. His basic philosophy is, what's good for Clive is good for YOU!

Paul1405,
What is with you & your Boot Camp? What's a Boot camp got to do with non-military national service ? Are you so against any discipline & responsibility for new generations ?
How do you envisage a society totally bereft of integrity, a society made up of Paul145's perhaps ?
You sound suspiciously like a Peter Principle Public Servant.

No place for Clive Palmer in parliament: Ron Boswell
I just spotted this headline.
Will this become the battle of the bulges ? Ron Boswell had an extremely good run at taxpayers expense & he should now just shut f... up.
He's had decades in Parliament, what are his legacies ? Anyone know ?
Any of them beneficial to the electorate ?
