ANALYSIS: How is Clive Palmer maintaining his political influence?

Although the party attracted a paltry 3.4 per cent of the primary vote, its anti-Labor advertising is widely credited for helping Prime Minister Scott Morrison stay in office.

And unlike the 2019 campaign, there's precious little positive and feel-good advertising or new star recruits to boost the United Australia Party brand. "You never reveal your sources — you have to admire journalists who have gone to jail never revealing their sources," Mr Palmer said. But with the CPUAP struggling to even register in published opinion polls, you could be forgiven for wondering why Mr Palmer bothers.

Dirty Money!

A bit like Mike Bloomberg. Spent a motza and where did it get him? Nowhere...

My first thought was “because he’s still fuckin rich!” and it turns out that was the first thing the article said. So I read no further. 😝

Money money lies and lies.

Because the liberal party let him

Sacks of cash and meat trays

By spending big to spread lies. Saved everyone a click

because Labor sucks...

Let's just hope ppl aren't stupid enough to believe his rhetoric.

How's he getting on with Titanic 2?

By not paying his employees and taxes.

Bloody obvious, MONEY!

ScottMorrisonMP needs to rethink his linkage with CliveFPalmer because unlike last election he will help unelect you. ordinaryAustralian sees through the BS.

People don't understand how important it is for a politician to have a big dumpy 😤👌 hasanthehun

A rare admission form you ABC ? 😉😉.

Well he does take up a lot of space so it's hard to move him out entirely.

Money

Exactly. His money helped gift the nation to the Libs last election and it's going to influence the state election in Qld. We can't pretend we live in a democracy whilst one person can have so much influence on who runs the country. Similar to Rupert. auspol

By lies and money.

Money, legislate for zero political donations and you won't have this problem. In saying that you might as well stop talking about it. Because It will never happen all parties want the $. 🤑🤑🤑

corruptLiberals

This lowlife needs help somewhere in his horrible past his brain was damaged. It's all me, me, me.

Money. Lots of money.

Easy, Clive Palmer subsidised by the LNP and Murdoch Media to the tune of $millions . Eg. private jets, free advertising, payments to his sacked workers when he refused to give their entitlements.

Clive is only interested in Clive's interests and the rest of you can go and get stuffed.

'Money doesn't talk, it swears' Bob Dylan

Where the bloody hell is the Australian Electoral Commission investigation into their powers needs to take place before we turn into America where money rules

💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

This really doesn’t need analysis to figure out

Money. Are you kidding? I could get his brain dead populism from some washed up boomer at any pub in the country if I wanted.

Money. The same way anyone else with political influence.

$$$$$$$

Lying by the millions.

The real question is, who is brain dead enough to fall for Clive’s shit?

By bribing idiots.

In the main by media accepting his money for advertising. Outside of that, dodgy donations, payments and promises. One example of the grubs in Australian industry operating at the corrupt interface with politics.

In a true democracy buying elections would be illegal.

Slugs often go unnoticed in the garden

By lying and sending out idiotic text's to so many of us.

Sounds like the US, where someone with money and power can influence. The only way to stop it is to vote for the party he is targeting because you know he is not getting favours.

bet he wants to be a senator again to do deals on more tax cut Billionaires become very stingy with their money They want to be buried with billions Look at Bill Gates he is using his money for charity

He’s filthy rich and the LNPCrimeSyndicate need him so he can pretty well do what he likes?

With money ,simple

He doesn't look well. Needs to see a doctor.

ClivePalmer is the biggest independent pig ever to hold office in this land, Australia's version of Donald Trump, out of touch, racist, as people ridiculous amount of money, thinks he's special when he's really just not. The pig picture has more decency an intelligence!

Just pay your employees their entitlements Clive. Really you should be in jail because of your business failures.

Why give this flog a spot light?

Yes that is a good Question!

If he didn’t give money to powerful people,he’d be a chubby nobody.
