Can you justify that opinion?

Well he wont support the repeal of the Carbon Tax unless it is retrospective so he wont pay any!!

Is that good enough!

No......if it is bad law ~ a tax to be axed ~ it always was bad law and no-one ought to have paid it. It was bad law, was it not, Mr Abbott?

Come on... Redneck nailed it... Clive is in it for Clive.

Justified I think!

Further...it was part of open PUP Policy, and I assume it will remain so. Clive could argue, given his election and that of two Senators ~ he has a mandate to stick like glue to that Policy.

Mandate? What percent of the vote gives him a mandate... Cheesy

He may well be, but you have produced nothing to establish it. PUP has a policy on the carbon tax.....it was taken to the last election and that is what the people who voted for PUP expect Clive and the two Senators to pursue.

Let's see some evidence, Mr Hicks.

(And noooo, I am not on his staff. I own, operate and drive in the Taxi Industry. Yeas, I am a Member of PUP, and yeas, I admit that after one of your Posts, I actually booked into the Resort to see what was on the TV. You exaggerated the truth. It was just a normal TV and if you selected the relevant Channels, yeas, there was "Clive" blurb. There was no compulsion on you to look at them. And yeas, I'm sure that if your Australian conference director tried to tell Clive how to run what Clive owns, Clive would have taken a nano-second to tell him to bugger off.)

So when I said that -

1. There are 2 Channels called Palmer TV running on loop about his life.

2. There is a channel called Titanic running Titanic film on loop - because the nutcase is building Titanic 2 and has become obsessed on the subject.

3. The Palmer resort has succeeded in pissing off the Australian PGA for putting a giant dinosaur on the 18th green and pissing off the Hyatt who packed up and left because of his antics.

4. Behind the car in reception there is a wall plastered with photos of ....... Himself!!!

What part do I have wrong?? Cheesy

To quote our esteemed Managing Director of Australia (a Liberal 200 club member whose got me into some good dinners in the past)

"Welcome everyone to the APAC Conference which we in Australia are delighted to host.
It almost didn't go ahead, this resort for those of you who didn't know is owned by a very wealthy man but who is also an absolute fruit loop who should be locked into an asylum.
Of our 4 meetings, he only turned up to two and has changed our itinerary no less than 9 times...
Never again to quote our Marketing Director"

Palmer. Utter fricken loon.

Correct.....and there are the usual other zillion channels.

Really. I reckon it is dead in the water. But, time will tell. His business anyway. No skin off my nose or yours.

I don't know exactly what happened and neither do you, but your hatred is quite obvious.

Quote:

He sacked Hyatt. Is that what you meant? You do know that Hyatt had been managing/running the place at terminal losses when (I think it was) Lendlease who owned it. They sold to Clive. Clive gave Hyatt the flick, as any businessman would. Why keep on a Management team which produces losses?

I looked for that wall. "Plastered?"

Do you reckon Clive gives a two-penny bugger about him or them? If that is the currency of your point, Clive could buy and sell all of them with his pocket money.

As I am sure you know, I was referring to your MD and your much vaunted Liberal 200 Club Members.

(Oh, I suppose your multi-national Master might be a corporate Member, in which case, I am wrong. I assumed such a toffy nosed and named exclusively elite bunch of self inflated conservatives would be individuals, a Member in their own personal right, not begging themselves in as imposters on the bank accounts and credentials of their employers.)

Palmer United Party boss Clive Palmer was licking his lips at the prospect of a fresh WA Senate election.

Mr Palmer said that PUP, with the support of the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party, already held the balance of power in the federal senate and that he believed a new election would deliver him another two senators from WA.

He said PUP candidate Zhenya Wang, who won on the first count but lost out after the recount, was likely to run again.

``I would say we would be aiming to win two senators this time,’’ he said.

``West Australians know they can’t get much out of voting Labor or Liberal.

“They already know our party has the balance of power in the federal senate.

``If they vote for us, they know we can strengthen that power in the senate which would allow us to get back some of that GST for WA and right some wrongs.”

WILL THAT MEAN TAKING SOME GST AWAY FROM QLD?

Mr Palmer said PUP would announce its candidates by Monday.

I AM ANTICIPATING W.A. VOTERS HAVE WOKEN UP TO WHAT A MESS THEY COULD HAVE CREATED BY VOTING OR GIVING PREFERENCES TO MINORITY PARTIES...

CLIVE MIGHT BE IN FOR ONE HELL OF A SMACK.

me thinks the idol has feet of clay....
