What do you mean by 'A Menace'? Clive's probably got more active brain cells than the whole National Party, except for Barnaby Baby.

I dont take it as a joke! The things advertised are abhorrent facts about our Treacherous, Treasonist, Traitorous State & Federal Governments! How dare you say it's a joke!

Spelt Charlatan incorrectly

He’s no Trump, but he’s the only one in the race who gives the bird to those lefty media and journos on the ABC.

Liberal Party's deal with Palmer is not just a preference swap: Keneally | Sky News AustraliaLabor senator Kristina Keneally spoke in Cairns on Friday, launching a fresh attack on Prime Minister Scott Morrison. \n\nMs Keneally called the Prime Minister's preference deal with Clive Palmer 'desperate', saying 'this deal is not just a preference swap, it's an exchange of wardrobe.' \n\nThe Labor Senator said Clive Palmer should order reversible blue and yellow shirts for the Coalition and the United Australia Party campaigners as there appears to be an 'exchange of workers' between the parties. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n KKeneally UAP must be polling well in marginals if the ALP are trying to mitigate their vote. KKeneally And she's spot on. Seriously, NO ONE would give this grubby little wage thief the time of day - except the equally grubby & desperate LNP KKeneally Patsy Keneally is the epitome of desperado

Coalition has a chance with influence of Palmer and Hanson: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says his 'rule of thumb' is that the Coalition needs a primary vote of more than 42 to stand a chance of success at a federal election. \n\nThe latest Newspoll shows both major parties saw increases in the primary vote, with the Liberal Party leading Labor 39 to 37 per cent. \n\nWhile the Liberal Party has increased, Mr Kenny says it is still 'three short from that magic 42 number’. \n\nDespite this, he says this year is different due to the joint influence of Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer, who are polling eight points together. \n\nMr Kenny says ‘this changed dynamic means there is a possibility the Coalition could win with a primary vote as low as 40’. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n Well, that is one short of 43 which is God’s for them because they couldn’t count that far in the latest Liberal leadership spill when Turnbull was knifed without an explanation. Liberals always need someone help, their are in collisions with National and even that is not enough to keep them in poverty, they need another 2-3 party’s to be voted in power, plus they need multinasionals and Murdoch Muppet to fix Election. It just shows how Liberals are popul Don’t worry Chris, when Labor win the election you can go back to full on criticism of them in govt. You carry on like it’s the end of the world.

Palmer candidate questions merit of vaccines | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison’s preference deal with Clive Palmer is again in the spotlight after a United Australia Party (UAP) candidate questioned the merit of vaccinations. \n\nIn a now deleted Facebook post, UAP candidate in the New South Wales seat of Cowper, Alexander Stewart, said there was no evidence the benefit of vaccines outweighed the risk. \n\nMr Stewart denied he was an anti-vaxxer but called himself a ‘vaccination questioner’. \n\nWhen approached about his candidate’s views, Mr Palmer said his party ‘hasn’t finalised a position on this at this stage’. \n\nClive Palmer is being hailed a likely kingmaker at the upcoming election, with his party expected to be key to the result in several marginal seats including Herbert, Deakin, Lindsay and Pearce. \n\n\n\n\n\n And this puts it in the spotlight because?. It wasn't a racial or homophobic statement. It wasn't hate speech. It's merely somebody's opinion. He said he was a ‘vaccination questioner’. Just because a person's opinion goes against popular belief doesn't mean we should hang them. How is this cooked as they come scuz bucket wanka..... Allowed to run? Im pleased someone is questioning something . Science is never settled

Clive Palmer must not buy his way into ParliamentIt is hard to believe that voters have forgotten so quickly Mr Palmer's questionable record both in and out of Parliament. What’s the difference between him and the Unions buying Bill into the Lodge? Lol, he has a lot of competition in that Parliament when it comes to people having 'questionable records'. last i understood people of free-will are allowed to vote for Clive if they want to. He's not paying people for their votes. Democracy at work. Any more than billshortenmp actually is paying people to vote for him by nature of his swag of tax changes.
