PUP dead and buried already.

For such an unattractive man - he managed to get himself a very pretty wife. She might give the party a boost.

Some women would think the fact he's a billionaire makes him very attractive.

Yes - you would think that at first, but they've known each other for years. Both lost their spouses at the same time - so fate took over. Palmer is an opportunist, but then look where it's gotten him. The major parties would love to crush him, but he seems to have a resilient team behind him. You have to admire his confidence.

I don't think there is much to admire about PUP and certainly nothing about Clive.

A double dissolution is a procedure permitted under the Australian Constitution to resolve deadlocks between the House of Representatives and the Senate. If the conditions are satisfied (called a trigger), the government of the day can request the Governor-General to dissolve both houses of parliament and call a full election. If after the election the legislation is still not passed by the two houses, then a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament can be called to vote on the legislation. If the legislation is passed by the joint sitting, then the legislation is deemed to have passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A double dissolution is the only circumstance in which the entire Senate can be dissolved.

PUP disappeared up it's own fundament in the Victorian election...

No wonder those still rusted-on are being so silent these days.
