Has Clive Palmer gone loco?

Be careful with your language.

There are many union, ALP beneficiaries and Ambassadors to Washington who are " fat ".

Pick on them.

I could sense Wayne Swans dissapointment that Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest is of reasonably athletic build, otherwise there would have been endless imagery possible, as the other pair do have a distinctly bloated look.

Our local magnate Nathan Tinkler had become a vastly bloated 40yr old till he recently underwent stomach stapling
 
is the CIA funding clive?

just joking......however i suspect that clive is utterly terrified of the growing political power of the greens. the paper he referred to as being funded by the rock-a-fella foundation was not produced by the qld. greens, but by a rapidly-growing protest group called "lock the gate".

i would like to see clive and the other mining companies begin to clean up at least some of the profound pollution their activities are causing, and to pay our government to help clean up and repair some of this damage to our soils, water, agriculture and communities.

i'm in favour of scaling back the gung-ho, macho mining gangs, and bringing in strong environmental regulations. at the moment such guidelines are laughable, and often written by the mining companies themselves.

by the way, the mining industry in australia contributes less than 10% to GDP and employes less than 2% of the workforce. figures are available at the oz bureau of stats.

their political influence, especially that of the foreign 'big boys', however, is far greater than their contribution to this country.


the mining tax recently passed by the senate exempts uranium and gold mining. why?

I can't really see this happening in Qld under Newman. There will probably be CSG mines going down all over the place.
 

well they already did under labor I thought?

Criminal defamation

In certain circumstances, defamation may also be a criminal offence under the Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld). Criminal defamation occurs when a person publishes defamatory material knowing it to be false, or without having any regard as to whether it is true or false, and in publishing the material intends to cause serious harm to another. The maximum penalty for this offence is three years imprisonment.

Will be interesting to see if Clive ends up doing porridge
 
The ABC and the ABC luvvies are ecstatic that Drew Hutton, funded by the radical left group, Getup, is taking Palmer to court for defamation. Hutton said they will also be looking for donations to the cause from those opposed to free speech.

It's a big stretch of the imagination to think that Palmer's motor mouth has harmed Hutton's reputation. He is basking in the publicity.
 
Be interesting to see if its 100% pure justice or Cliive gets let off due to his power and connections.

I think you need to prove with out doubt that you have been harmed in a most positive way and if has done irreversible damage to your name or wealth.
Maybe the stress of a court case will slow down his eating ???
 
Perhaps people are finally waking up to Mr Palmer. The coming W.A. Senate re-run might produce a different result from last time, hopefully seeing the vociferous Jacqui Lambie dumped.
 
Lambie is a Tasmanian senator. Another 6 years until the voters have a choice. She seems to have some influence inside the party in Tasmania. She seems to be a bit of a good fit for Palmer's controlling type.
 
Thanks for the correction, boofhead. My error. Being in Qld where there is no upper house, I forget that other states have an upper house.

I'm glad, however, to know that her influence, such as it might be, is confined to Tasmania.
 
Jacqui Lambie was elected as a Federal senator for Tasmania. She will play a role in the PUP/Green balance of power in the Senate...come July.
 
Haha I voted for this guy. I saw him when karl stepanovic was interviewing him and he had guts. He spoke his mind and thats worth a point in my view. Though I dont follow politics so meh haha

The images of Palmer and Reinhart should be used to promote the mining super profits tax.

How about replacing the mining tax with a means tested 'fat tax'.
Only two tax brackets are required:
0 to less than 1 billion dollars (0%)
> 1 billion dollars 99%

This should achieve better targetting and revenue outcomes than the mining tax while keeping Garpal Gumnut whole - unless of course I have underestimated GG's networth.

Are you cracking up over my suggestion for a 'super girth and worth tax'? How dare you.:frown:
I'll have you know that this is a very serious, well thought out proposal even though I spent less time on it than Rudd's lackeys spent on their Pink Batts program - (but I possibly spent more time on it than Gillard spent re-engineering the super profits mining tax).

If Clive Palmer isn't loco already he sure will be once he hears about this 'super girth and worth' tax.

So if you want to crack up I suggest you nick off over to the ASF Joke thread.
