That is a bit rich, coming from the Master of Labor bashing/Liberal spin doctoring.
Rumpy, you are off topic.....the thread is about Palmer....but then again I guess you can't resist to bring in your criticism of Abbott Government whenever you can.
Not only off topic but wrong.
The Labor-Green cabal that was the Gillard government had a majority in the Senate.
I suggest you take it up with the Treasury or the Australian.
I'm sure they are in dire need of your undoubted expertise.

I wonder what Penny Wong thinks of Jacquie Lambie now.Aligning with Palmer will end up with another Labor Party stuff up.
Palmer will be derailed, Labor need to be carefull they don't go down in the same wreckage.IMO

THERE’S a long history of Chinese people in business in Australia. Back in the 1890s two Chinese brothers set up a market garden 4km from the Brisbane CBD. The Wong Brothers ”” hence the suburb, Toowong. It’s two Wongs.
The Queensland Places website, run by the Queensland government.
TOOWONG, an inner residential suburb, is 4km southwest of central Brisbane. It is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal word describing a bird, or the call of a bird, possibly the koel or cooee bird, a species of cuckoo.
I am sure Penny Wong would enjoy this one. It reminds me of Labor politician Arthur Calwell's remark in Parliament in 1947 in support of the White Australia Policy that "two Wongs don't make a White."
This is what Palmer said at a press conference in Brisbane, May, 2009:

And effectively in the Reps, given the alignment of Oakeshott and Windsor, as drsmith has pointed out.Not only off topic but wrong.

The thread is about Clive Palmer, Rumpole. It's also a bit simplistic to suggest the government are incapable of negotiation. Just the last few days' display of Clive Palmer's extraordinary behaviour, suitably accompanied by his Tasmanian senator's nonsense, should give quite an understanding of what the government is up against.A political thread is always going to go off topic sometime, besides I was just responding to posts that other people made.
Nice try trying to get people to "look over there", when the complete farce is Abbott and Hockey screaming about the Senate blocking a few of their "savings" when they have got 98% of their measures through.
It shows that the government is incapable of negotiation and are simply trying to bully people because they don't want to back down and get a few red faces.
Never mind the Chinese: it would be suicidal for Australia to freeze Chinese investment in Australia.I don't know. We could freeze Chinese investment in Australia in return, but I don't think the Chinese are that bloody minded.
Excellent result. The comments following the article were interesting, the following one summing it up pretty well:A legal setback for Uncle Clive,

For a man who openly boasted that he had not lost a court case ever - at present he is battling to win one. Glad to see that the courts are waking up the this serial and vexatious litigant and awarding costs against him. Hopefully these judgements will hasten his financial demise so that eventually we will mercifully be shot of him and his coterie of ill-informed senators.
This ABC report probaly shows Clive's real interest in the fiscal situation.

It probably highlights, the WTF is he doing in parliament, question.

Clive Palmer neglects his parliamentary committee responsibilities,

I understand your loyalty to Labor (well, no, I don't really) but perhaps try to have some objectivity here.

Why bother ? When I point out from the Murdoch media and the Treasury that 98% of the proposed government savings has been passed, and people here still slang off the Labor party and Greens for obstructionism, then I would say that there is not a lot of objectivity on offer on this forum.

The impression that Clive gives me is that he is only interested in one thing - Clive Palmer!
I don't believe the bullsh*t about him fighting for the battler or any of Australia's interests.
He and Rudd make a great pair (me, me, me).
It would be good if he disappeared completely from the political scene, then he would be doing Australia a favour.
I have a loyalty to equity and fairness which the current government demonstrably lacks.
In these circumstances I believe it's understandable that I promote an alternative position.
