Pay your staff .

Well done Clive. Now have you paid out your workers entitlements ?

Why doesn't he just pay his employee entitlements first?

Pay your workers first.

I once had a look at Clive Palmer’s voting record when he was in Federal Parliament. He rarely showed up to vote and when he did he normally abstained, unless the policy being voted on impacted the mining industry.

I only wish he was extinct

FattyMcfuckhead is at it again

Came for the comments. Not disappointed 🤣

Can this guy just fuck off already?

Ohh you have got to be kidding sir, first you think of an idea that has already been done. Then you give it a title that no body could possibly like, didn’t you thi/ best seller list for 18months/ every magazine cover / most popular movies of all time sir. What were you thinkin!?

Let him blow his $100m , and then boycott the place . Betting he wont be spend a penny of his own money to do this. Anyone who he hires better make sure they are paid upfront else they'll never see a cent.

You mean he'll fix the problems he created? Awesome.

Just like his promise to build the Titanic.

Fuck off, Clive. Cheers 👍

Maybe after he serves 5-12 years jail for his criminal fraud. The slimey prick thinks he can avoid consequences, time to show him JusticeMatters

Remember the Titanic replica? Where's that Clive?

Has he paid his nickel workers yet?

what about the titanic ll

Past History indicates this is unlikely to happen, and he won't be prosecuted if it doesn't happen.

Narcissistic twaddle

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Well we all know what a promise by Clive Palmer is worth

WittaTwitta Yeah, it'd be news worthy if he had promised to pay his workers.

Before, or after, he launches his Titanic rebuild?

Jurassic Park but its Clive's hand picked 100% deep fried fast food menu that kills everyone.

Seems like I got outta Coolum just in time. 🤮

Because Jurassic Park worked out so well?

Qldaah Maybe he could focus on paying his staff first. And then focus on wheelchair access in the resort (which is abominable). Prior to his version of the wonders of the world.

He should not be allowed to do anything until he pays the money he owes.

has he paid his workers the money he owes them yet?

I just wish that Clive would be extinct tomorrow.

And!!!

Jeff the dinosaur caught fire.

Qldaah Zero sympathy in advance for anyone who works on this project and gets fleeced. You've had ample warning about this con artist.

How predictable- the rise of Palmer pre-LNP election yet again.

Australias greatest...oxygen thief.

Dinosaur hunter promises to use DNA to resurrect species he forced into extinction.

Err...seriously....🙄 ausbiz

This is not news.

Why bother reporting this? Would anyone actually work on the project when there's a good chance you won't get paid?

Why do I feel a lack of faith?

More tacky bullshit from Australias largest shyster

He could put them all on his Titanic.

Which one is the real extinct dinosaur?

Clive Palmer can go choke on a bunch of eggshells

*100m of other peoples money

He's going to do that from jail?

He’s lying for media attention, watch for his next move

Probably better if he just gave the money to the people he owes

Too much money. To much stupid.

Given up buying Elections & Government, has he? 🧐 While he’s busy amusing himself, maybe we can return to an AusPol with integrity? 🤔 ClivePalmGracer PalmerPlaytime NotMyGov Election2021 🌈🇦🇺

bullshit

amongst the dinosaur replicas will be an over-sized statue of Clive himself.

Palmer and promises don't go together

He seems to be throwing a lot of money around on useless, stupid, shit... isn't that a method of hiding money laundering? Smurfing or something? Just sayin'...

Is the pic a spot the dinosaur test?

I thought he was broke.

Is it April 1st already?

Wasn’t he bankrupt?

Electoral commission urged to investigate COVID-19 vaccine flyers sent out by Clive PalmerThe Australian Electoral Commission is urged to investigate flyers distributed nationally by controversial billionaire Clive Palmer, which are being accused of undermining public confidence in the COVID-19 vaccination rollout. Here, Clive must be able to be challenged, in law, and if unable to substantiate his claims, he must withdraw and be charged the amount required to advertise a counter to his actions. We need definitive laws to prevent this from happening at all. National health is not for sale. A leopard does not change its spots. What kind of people actually follow him? Sheep
