Clive Palmer's United Australia Party is confident of winning several lower house seats and up to six Senate seats, after reportedly sealing a preference deal with the Liberal party.
Brian Burston says he's not privvy to the preference negotiations between Clive Palmer and the Liberals.It's a big boost to Mr Palmer's chances of being elected as a Queensland senator and helps the Coalition in several close contests in lower house seats in the state. "I think we may pick up one or two Queensland seats perhaps a couple in New South Wales but certainly we'll pick up a handful of Senate seats on our polling," he said.
Mr Barnett said a majority of voters believed the Queensland Senate hopeful was unsuitable to sit in any parliament and his record in public affairs as"appalling".AAP She said how-to-vote cards were a matter for state branches but urged voters to give the Liberals their first preference.

Palmer United Party to be placed ahead of Labor on Liberals' how-to-vote cardsThe Liberal Party strikes a deal to exchange preferences with Clive Palmer. Typical of the libs to support a party founded by a man who doesn't pay his employees over a party that represents lower and middle Australians. Thats fair enough. The party that has no regard for workers should endorse the party that actually screws workers. As they are entitled to, and entitled to be judged by. BTW PUP preferences go all over the place
