Palmer's PUP

[mantra]

Kevin and Wayne...? Let's see, both up there for being the worst PM and Treasurer we've ever had... yet Qlders still voted them back in... pretty simple really.

Rudd mightn't have been crash hot, but he was popular - more so than the state Liberals or whatever they call themselves in Qld are at the moment. No doubt it was a protest vote.

As far as Swan goes - he worked hard and he was transparent. Wait another few months and see how Hockey is handling it and whether he gets it right. To date he hasn't - his funding forecasts for Coalition policies have always been billions out - up to $70 billion not so long ago.

I've always thought of Queenslanders as rednecks or banana benders. It's the all round the year heat up that way that affects the brain.

.... And quite irritable too it seems.


Clive was originally a Melbourne boy...was born and raised there...and moved to QLD in his mid teens from memory.

Could be the change in climate thats effected his brain and metabolism also.

Nothing wrong (much) with your memory, hey you lunatic. You have recall lasting 72 hours since "Australian Story."

'Atta Girl!!

Tell us Aussie, what made you, a died in the wool leftwing socialist-progressive voter switch teams to Clive?

What was a died in the wool conservative voter and backer of the party you hate before he went feral, offering that swayed a numpty like yourself to back a big fat mining executive?

So, you ALSO watched the ABC the other night, Aussie?

Stop denigrating Mellie. She is exuberant but not a lunatic. Watch your words, Aussie. You could get reported for "language".

I never, ever watch the ABC. If Abbott decides to privatise it I will be more than happy.

Patriarchal?

No mel the word is definitely parochial...

Kevin and Wayne...? Let's see, both up there for being the worst PM and Treasurer we've ever had... yet Qlders still voted them back in... pretty simple really.

Parochialism...

pa·ro·chi·al·ism
/pəˈroʊkiəˌlɪzəm/ Show Spelled [puh-roh-kee-uh-liz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
a parochial character, spirit, or tendency; excessive narrowness of interests or view; provincialism.

Labors Cadre of feminists would argue Queenslanders are both parochial and patriarchal when it comes to voting....this is why I wanted you to describe what you meant by their voters being parochial, Roach.

Getting back to Palmer, What do you make of his claim that he sat on Chinese communist icon Mao Zedong's knee as a child?

Or that during some nine-month interlude in China in the early '60s, he also met legendary premier Chou En-lai, and came across the former emperor Pu Yi, tending the decrepit gardens of the Forbidden City in Beijing?

What were the Palmers doing in China, much less the Forbidden city during these interesting times?


Perhaps a clue rests within the first paragraph of the following....

Why wont Clive Palmer tell us why his family went to China?

Because Clive has more in communist with the left than you think IQ's.

Re- sale of communist papers plant and it's association with the radio station 3AK Clive Palmers father founded.

Clive Palmer and Bob Katter both have fraternal links to communism.

The only difference is, Katter is smarter than Clive.

Clive has a big mouth and doesn’t think before he speaks/boasts.

Clive inherited his fathers wealth and contacts not his brains.

I dare say ASIO kept tabs on the Palmers, the same way they kept tabs on Lee Rhiannon.

I wonder if we could apply under FOI for a file on Clives Father George Frederick Thomas Palmer?


Bob Katter Snr too for that matter.



These commies sure love their radio.

I agree, and think at least partially privatising the ABC to some degree, (paid adverts) is the way to go.

THE ABC is using taxpayer resources to keep secret how much it pays presenters.

For years the Herald Sun has been fighting the ABC for information on radio and television stars' salaries.

The Herald Sun has argued taxpayers have a right to the information, and that the broadcaster is not above public scrutiny.

But the ABC has vigorously opposed Freedom of Information applications, claiming the documents are exempt.

In the latest development, the FoI watchdog set the ABC's decision aside.

The ABC said yesterday it would challenge the ruling in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The Herald Sun has been arguing that taxpayers have the right to know how much of the broadcaster's $1 billion in public financing is spent on its leading presenters. The ABC has consistently argued this information is not in the public interest.

"It is in the public interest for the ABC to be competitive in the marketplace," it says.

"The ABC has consistently argued that disclosure of the remuneration details of on-air presenters would disadvantage the ABC in the marketplace, particularly in relation to commercial competitors."

The Herald Sun believes the ABC, as a government department, is not above public scrutiny. The salaries of managing director Mark Scott and his senior executives are publicly available.

But it draws the line at revealing how much Australians, through their taxes, are paying ABC radio and television presenters.

The ABC's 2010-11 annual report showed Mr Scott's yearly salary jumped $112,000 from the previous year to $758,000.

Off topic I know... but I think they cant have it both ways.... cant have their cake (be funded by the public as though it were a government department) and eat it also..(withhold information re- their presenters salaries).

Make up your mind ABC are you public, therefore should be open to public scrutiny, or private?

[Rorschach]

So how's Clive going i see he was away yet again...

[DaS Energy]

DaS Energy technology has killed of Coal mining and directly affects Clive Palmers business, however I voted him for Parliament. All the old has beens re-elected don't know what to do now. Their world is changing round them and they are being washed away into irevelence.
Go Clive go!
