Palmer’s true colours exposed

CLIVE Palmer is demanding Tony Abbott repeal the carbon tax retrospectively and refund billions in revenue in exchange for his party’s crucial Senate support in a move that would enable the businessman to escape a $6.2 million disputed charge for emissions. That is a conflict of interest and should be stopped right now.  For Palmer to argue that legislation should be tabled to allow for him to personnaly gain a benefit of millions of dollars  is Banana Republic bullshit. Surely there’s a law against that?

  • If there isn’t there should be. He would have spent millions on his campaign so I guess he figures this is just a recoupment of his investment.   
     
    Still. Better a PUP in the Senate than a Green. 

    • I agree with your last but the proof of the pudding is in the eating and he does worry me – let’s see if he plays the game after July.

  • Banana Republic bullshit.
    Plenty of this on the go in Queensland at the moment.
    Spare a thought for the posties – Apart from the fact that the magpies give them a hard time, they ride motorbikes, wear colours, and are part of an organised group.
    Rumour has it that they’re getting rid of those yellow colours they wear before they get locked up for 25 years.

    • Don’t have much respect for the Postal service Booby, or you wouldn’t use them as a red herring for bait to get comment.  “Colours” to a real bikie mean something totally different to the “see me” suit in common use in the work place today.  Nothing under 900ccs qualifies as a bike and coppers can be choosy when it comes to assessing who is a criminal and who isn’t.

      • Colours mean something to these blokes. Their service obviously means SFA to the articled clerk masquerading as AG.

        • Short on knowledge again 1735099…..motorcycle groups like the Ulysses and probably the Vietnam Vets M C are not going to be declared criminal motor cycle gangs and will therefore not be targeted by the Police.  There are many clubs out there and most will not be lumped in with the crooks.  To be be classified as a criminal group you will have certain qualifications to adhere to, mainly to do with criminal activites I believe. 

  • FFS Numbers – the police know who the criminals are and they know the difference between Bikies and Biikers

  • BTW 1735099 I have a bone to pick with you.
    A week or two ago I visited your blog on the off chance you might have been coming from a place worthwhile. As you do.  No evidence of that but here’s the thing.
    That post you wrote last year on Muslims, Israel and the Middle East was the greatest pile of half baked,pig-ignorant, offensive and gutless pile of crap I have ever had the misfortune to behold in peace time. And that’s really saying something.
    And you have some responsibility for the education of kids? Try reading a book. 
    Just thought you should know.
