, but exploded into public view on Tuesday when Attorney-General John Quigley
revealed the proceedings in State Parliament and claimed Mr Palmer was seeking close to $30 billion in damages, costs and interest.true figure is likely well above $30 billion.In that same speech, Mr Quigley revealed the Government wanted toThe bill the Government wants to rush through State Parliament wouldMr Quigley revealed the claims in State Parliament late on Tuesday afternoon.
It also extinguishes the legal liability of anyone connected to the State Government, related to the matter.Will it work? First, the Government needs to rush the bill through State Parliament — it wants that done this week, when normally it would take weeks or months to pass legislation.The timeframe is also doable, if the Opposition agrees — but that is in some doubt, with Liberal leader Liza Harvey proposing a committee inquiry that would delay the legislation for weeks.How that plays out will become clear in the Upper House on Thursday.
The Liberals only found out the plan at the same time as the public, but have received extensive briefings as the Government attempts to convince the Opposition to support it.— with it a near-inevitability that Mr Palmer would challenge the legislation in court .Intervening in a legal process in this way is an extraordinary step with potentially enormous consequences.
He is a bully and a crook. He was looking to sell Australian assets that belong to every tax payer make no mistake to the Chinese.
Can in communist WA
Clive Palmer. Next level. Who writes these headlines?
Biggest parasite found in Australia.
If the 'law' is ; someone who rips employees off and doesn't pay them, then goes on to influence a Nation wide election, then goes on to commit a bit of corporate fraud and then try and bankrupt a whole state... something is wrong.
Clive needs to stop and leave WA alone. We can't afford to pay this greedy prick $30b The hell he gonna do with $30b? Don't bother spending it on political campaigns, WA otherwise. Australia has had enough of him, too many lives will be effected by this
C'mon Clive, we're all fighting a pandemic in case you haven't heard. Please go and do something useful instead of creating a News! I'm sure there's plenty out there for you to lend a hand to, and maybe get some positive News for once. It's so unAustralian!!
One wonders if he really cared about this country.
This is truly bs, Palmer seek to white ant Australia for his personal benefit & to the cost of the AU people...
Hope so ! Or this is just another example of how the mega rich interfere with governments.
'Billionaire crybaby who doesn't pay his staff properly, seeks billions in reparations from Australian tax payers, after destroying and selling numerous parts of the country he claims to love.' Probably a more accurate headline. Also he looks like Jabba the Hutt.
So the state can close any business down now without redress for no reason.
Dunno. Why you asking me?
He's now an Australian supervillain.
This guy is becoming the equivalent of a serial pest, but should be behind bars for some of his business dealings.
Info_Aus Yes it can.
All Clive requires is a decent dose of 19.
we will secede and fw palmer will have no claim. seems ScottMorrisonMP wants us to secede anyhow.
I’d like to see him take the Chinese govt to court. After all Covid_19 did originate there..auspol
What happened to the hydroxy Clive?
They should.
Can he just be classed as a nuisance litigator and never be allowed in court again?
Diversionary tactic. Look the opposite way and you’ll find what he’s REALLY up to😡
Compensation for what? His Karratha proposal was denied long ago
Palmer wont win..its all his bullshit...
Time big players were not allowed to sue average Australians and steal their tax money meant for hospitals and schools. In a democracy we have the right to pass laws to stop this type of plundering.
Go Wild West on him
Allegedly not a fit & proper person! Not paying workers from previous business! Enrolled as a candidate for parliament ? in the country for the vote! Taking parliamentary money & sleeping thru sessions! Probably/may have allegedly tax deducted Palmer party election millions
Can crooked selfish gits really demand the citizens of Western Australia pay him for systematically exploiting our land? Not welcome here, Clive.
Maybe time to let him in the state. Let the mob sort him out.
Compensation ?, sure, ten bucks a week until recipient passes ......
I was thinking Clive could be classified as a vexatious litigant with less legislation
Those folk employed by Palmer would be extremely pleased with the manner in which he ensures their continued employment.
if he wants to be Premier for life then he'll call in an airstrike I expect.
Let's get Clive back to court over Qld Nickel fraud & environmental charges.
