Has Clive Palmer gone loco?

[noco]

This is an interesting explanation from Ian Verrender, ABC Radio Business Editor, on Clive Palmer's current somewhat awkward business position, especially with respect to the mess that is what was once supposed to be such a great deal with the Chinese partner Citic Pacific.

Wow Julia, very interesting but not funny....as I said in my last post.....Is Palmer a smart cookie or a crook!!!!!!

I guess time will tell if it all catches up on him and quite often this type of bloke generally comes undone......ahla Alan Bond.....they eventually come up against someone smarter than themselves.

 

[noco]

Palmer is getting himself into more legal 'HOT WATER'.......The way he is going ATM may eventually find himself in the 'jug'.....He is going to come unstuck some where down the line.

Palmer keeps reinforcing my opinion that he is a (presently rich) buffoon.

Firstly we had the greens helping to bugger up Australia in coalition with the ALP.
Having got rid of that destructive combo we look like we will be saddled with an ALP/PUP combo opposing any repair to the previous six years.

Australia just can't get a break.

Palmer is just very vindictive because he could not get his own way in Queensland and has it in for Abbott because Abbott accused him him of buying his way into parliament....Palmer does not give a hoot about the national welfare.......it is all about Palmer getting even........PAY BACK.

 

[Knobby22]

Yea, I heard him attack "The Australian" vehemently. Talk about making enemies.

As Bernardi said about Turnbull "I thought that Malcolm's response was too strident, I though it was inappropriate, it was unwise to do."

We mustn't upset Rupert. In fact, when can we change the rules to give him Channel 10 we must make sure that we shut down ABC24 at the same time.

I'll drink to that - good idea Knobby22.

A lucid analysis of Clive Palmer's tasteless attack on Peta Credlin today:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-03/matthewson-canny-clive-takes-credibility-hit/5497502

 

[Knobby22]

Clive's attack on Peta showed how little understanding he has on the policy as well as very poor parliamentary behaviour.

Peta as a public servant will get leave on full pay if she gets pregnant whether the policy passes or not.

This 'BAG OF WIND' is set put himself on fire any time soon....He just cannot help himself with his unruly rhetoric.

He is in parliament for political purposes and does not have the national interest at heart.....he is spiteful and vindictive.

But do not take him for a fool noco. His campaign of spite and vindictiveness is centred on his hatred of Abbott and is rapidly gaining supporters among the f*** Abbott brigade. This has little to do with Abbott's broken promises, but is the outcome of a well crafted hate campaign put together by the Greens over the years. As sydboy said in another thread, Palmer doesn't need policies or principles...hatred of Abbott will do.

An interesting interview with Sarah Ferguson......He seems to deny what he said in parliament .......but it is all well recorded and condemned by both the major parties.

And this bloke wants to be Prime Minister of Australia......could anybody ever imagine it.

He does not give any explanation why he has quit his directorship of a company which he fully owns.

He has paid no taxes for 6 years in fact he has received a refund for some $1.6 million.

That's a very socialist comment noco. Are you saying that the tax system is not skewed correctly?

As a female, I was very glad to see Sarah Ferguson do what all the other prominent females (with the exception of Julie Bishop)have failed to do, and challenge Clive Palmer's appalling attack on Peta Credlin. Amazing how the feminist philosophy can adapt itself amongst the women of the Left to just ignore such an attack when it suits their political agenda.

I took the fact that he has paid no taxes for six years as a simple reflection on the non-profitability of at least some of his businesses.
Can you say why you see it as 'socialist', Knobby?

I'm glad to see Hedley Thomas is pursuing his interest in Mr Palmer.

Thanks Julia and all above for your comments on Clive Palmer.

Clive is a very peculiar personality confined to Queensland. There are a hundred nascent Clives selling second hand cars and real estate between the Tweed River and Harvey Bay.

Due to our robust economy, one is likely to emerge every 7 or 8 years, the clown Keith Williams who destroyed Cardwell with his development, and Christopher Skase are two examples.

Clive Palmer will fall as quickly as the other two because he is basically not very bright. He is cunning. But he is not bright.

And this will be his downfall.

Spot on GG, history is littered with people who make and lose a fortune.

Palmer could be in hot water with the CMC.....he might be about to meet his WATERLOO.

Considering he's offered to allow Abbotts PPL a quiet death i think he's more in tune with the general public than Abbott. Extending the current scheme to 26 weeks is IMO a more than fair compromise. Might allow all corporations to receive a tax cut.

Will be very interesting if Abbott is really as pig headed as he seems and turns down this offer. If he does I think palmer will be laughing for joy, along with Labor, because there will be a massive level of internal dissent within the L+NP over a policy only Abbott and a couple of others actually wants.

I truly do not understand why Abbott is bleeding political capital over a policy the public DOESN'T WANT. In his delusion Abbott thinks the people who voted for him were voting for his PPL scheme. You'd better set him straight Noco, because I'm willing to bet that the majority of those who voted for Abbott did so in spite of his PPL scheme, not in support.

 

[Julia]

Considering he's offered to allow Abbotts PPL a quiet death

The ABC reported that that suggestion came from a member of Abbott's own party, not Clive Palmer.
Do you have a link to Palmer's 'offer'?

Agree, yet he seems irrationally immovable on this. It's a trait that's concerning.

Noco, I wouldn't be counting your chickens just yet on Jeff Seeney's belated reference of Palmer to the CMC. You have to ask - if the demands were so corrupt - why was Mr Palmer not referred to the CMC two years ago?
