Clive Palmer says he wants to be PM

Friday April 26, 2013

Clive Palmer wants to be prime minister and his candidates are coming to a seat near you.

The mining magnate is re-forming the United Australia Party (UAP) which will run candidates in 150 lower house seats and a senate team in each state and territory at the September 14 federal election.

He was endorsed by the executive to be federal leader and to run in the Sunshine Coast seat of Fairfax.

"I'm standing to be the next prime minister of Australia," he said.

"I have no personal interest. I have made enough money in my life. I'm not seeking any enrichment of wealth for myself. I'm seeking it for the Australian people.

"I could go off and stay in Monaco, have a nice drink and forget about this country, but we've got more commitment to Australia and your children than anyone else."

Mr Palmer's Coolum resort and dinosaur park are located within the seat of Fairfax, which is currently held by retiring LNP MP Alex Somlyay.


Over coming weeks, "major figures in politics, in this nation's history" would join his party.

He signalled his nephew Martin Brewster, who is the director of Mr Palmer's Queensland Nickel, would also run.

If the party won power it would repeal the carbon tax and refund monies already paid back to companies.


"The Gillard government has handicapped Australian industry," he said.

It would support the Gonski education reforms, reduce indigenous mortality rates, and oppose any relaxation of gun access.


Mr Palmer would also (BAN LOBBYISTS) from becoming politicians or holding party positions.

He decided to enter the political ring as a result of the poor policy decisions of the Gillard government and a lack of confidence in the federal opposition.


"I'm fed up with watching Tony Abbott who is no different to Julia Gillard," he said.

Mr Palmer denies he'll stump up $20 million on a new campaign for his political party.

He wouldn't say if he'd accept a pay packet, or how he'd balance his political intentions and mining interests.

"As far as I'm concerned I'm fulltime running for prime minister," he said.

Mr Palmer, a former lifetime member of the LNP, quit the party after publicly attacking the Queensland government.


He labelled Treasurer Tim Nicholls and Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney "CROOKS" and called for their resignation.

Former Queensland Liberal Party vice president Jim MacAnally and former Queensland National Party vice president Susie Douglas flanked Mr Palmer for the press conference. Both are on the UAP executive.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says Mr Palmer's new party might compete with Bob Katter's outfit on the political fringe.

But Mr Abbott said voters would go for those who were serious, who had put in the hard yards and could deliver competent, stable and trustworthy government.

The United Australia Party (UAP) was founded in 1931 by Labor dissidents and a conservative coalition in response to the more radical economic proposals of Labor during the Great Depression.

Leader Joseph Lyons became the first UAP prime minister in 1932 and was leader until his death in 1939.

Robert Menzies was UAP prime minister between 1939 and 1941.

After a massive election defeat in 1943, Mr Menzies was convinced the party was no longer viable and a new anti-Labor party was needed to replace it.

As a result, the UAP was absorbed into the new Liberal Party of Australia in 1945, with Mr Menzies as leader.

As mentioned in the OP, Clive Palmer is/was a life member of the National/Liberal party (now merged), those that took Australia into the Iraq war and pushed Australia further to the right and closer to the USA than the country ever has been. Further, Palmer donated at least $800 000 to these disgusting genocidal political parties in 2008/2009. I only expect his right-wing ideology to continue in the form of the (previously) imperialist United Australia Party.

A right-wing morbidly obese billionaire coal baron with a history of supporting war-waging political parties is not the kind of person Australia should look towards for a better future. Thankfully I doubt his party will get much support outside of Queensland.

Greens committing 'Treason': Palmer

March 20, 2012

Mining magnate Clive Palmer has accused the Australian Greens and Queensland environmental campaigners of "Treason" in conspiring with US powers to destroy the nation's coal industry.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZIZoFHj6bw
Mr Palmer was expected to give his response to the passing of the Gillard government's mining tax at a media conference called this afternoon, but the multi-billionaire was concerned only with perceived collusion between the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the environmental lobby.

Mr Palmer turned his attention to a report by Greenpeace and other anti-coal groups, titled Stopping the Australian Coal Export Boom, which outlined an environmental campaign designed to disrupt and delay the expansion of the industry.

http://images.brisbanetimes.com.au/2012/03/20/3148731/clive_palmer_729-420x0.jpg
Clive Palmer outlines his concerns over the CIA's alleged meddling in the Australian coal industry.

While brandishing a copy of the report this afternoon, Mr Palmer said it was the result of a CIA conspiracy involving the US-based Rockefeller Foundation.

"This is funded by the CIA," he said.

"You only have to go back and read ... the report to the US Congress that sets up the Rockefeller Foundation as a conduit of CIA funding.

"You only have to look at the secret budget which was passed by Congress last year - bigger than our whole national economy - with the CIA to ensure that.

"You only have to read the reports to US Congress where the CIA reported to the president that their role was to ensure the US competitive advantage - that's how you know it's funded by the CIA."

Mr Palmer argued descendants of US oil magnate John Rockefeller had bankrolled the Greenpeace report, in a bid to disrupt and damage the Australian coal industry.

PS - I really don't care what others may think of Clive Palmer, he's an Aussie (Through & Through) he's out there on National TV telling the 'Truth'..! Period..!

He's not afraid to attack the 'Corrupt' Australian Govt., he's going to challenge the Carbon Tax in the Supreme Court, he believes in 'FREE SPEECH & AUSTRALIAN SOVEREIGNTY' and he's not afraid to tackle the Major Globalist Players like Westfield's Frank Lowy (Larry Silverstein's Buddy)..!

Good (onya) Clive...http://flagsandanthems.com/media/flags/animierte-flagge-australien.gif.....:clap2:

Sometimes I don't really understand the lack of (shallow insight) some have of anothers persona...:wacko:

Australia is in (DEEP-DEEP-DO-DO) ($300 Billion in Gross Debt) with the (NWO/Globalist Sharks Lurking) in the Shadows ready to (Take Us Down) along with the rest of the world and you come out and say something (Un-researched) like that...:faint:

I'm with you Tesser. WTF? You forgot to mention he made his multi billions from RAPING THE EARTH as a "mining magnate".
You are delusional Jacko (how can I say this respectfully?!) trusting the yet-to-be-made policies of a wannabe politician!

No wonder we have a Fabian Socialist/Communist Dictator in Power in a 'Hung Parliament'..!

The 'Taxpayer' has to foot the bill for 'Public Servants'...:yes4:

Have you ever considered this before, perhaps I'll leave you both to ponder on it for a while..???


Points for Consideration


Mining in Australia - Without 'Mining' we too would be up 'Sh#t Creek' without a paddle, just like the Major Economy's of the World..!
Mining Tax = Decreasing Levels of Investment in Australian Mining. The Tax will be simply offset onto 'You' the consumer & Mining Co's with high C02 Emmissions will just move their plants offshore, costing 1,000's of jobs..!
Superannuation (401k) - This one's a 'Dandy', what section of Australian Industry do you think has been 'Propping Up' Super Fund returns for the past 10 years..?
Mining Tax to Prop-Up Super - Please tell me your kidding right...:nono:

Mining magnate Clive Palmer says CIA is behind campaign to kill coal industry

by: By Malcolm Farr, National Political Editor From: news.com.au March 20, 2012

http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2012/03/20/1226305/469124-clive-palmer.jpg
Clive Palmer has unloaded on green groups at a press conference in Brisbane today.


Green groups want to destroy coal industry - Palmer
Claims CIA, Barack Obama are in on the sabotage
Fortescue launch High Court battle against mining tax


BILLIONAIRE Clive Palmer has made bizarre claims the CIA is backing green groups in a bid to kill the Australian coal mining industry.

And he appeared to suggest that US President Barack Obama was directly briefed on the sabotage.

Mr Palmer called a Brisbane press conference to declare that "an off-shore political power'' and the humanitarian organisation the Rockefeller Foundation were behind the attacks on mining.

He said the objective was to make American coal more competitive.

Mr Palmer said no outside country was funding his operations.

"The big difference is that this is funded by the CIA. That's the big difference,'' Mr Palmer told reporters.

"You only have to go back to read the Church report in the 1970s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee) and read the reports to US Congress which sets up the Rockefeller Foundation as a conduit of CIA funding.

"You only have to look at the secret budget that was passed by Congress last year, bigger than our whole national economy, that the CIA's got to ensure that.

"You only have to read the reports to US Congress, where the CIA reported to the President (Obama), that their role was to ensure US competitive advantage and economic advantage.

"That's how you know it was funded by the CIA.''

The claims reach the outer limits of conspiracy theories and are certain to embarrass allies of Mr Palmer and severely reduce his political influence.

It is probable that any senior Liberal, including Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, will be reluctant to appear on the same platform as him.

Mr Palmer told reporters that he was "not here to do the American bidding'' and said he believed US figures wanted American coal to dominate Australian markets.

"So our jobs, our security, our exports, our balance of payments are transfered to North America when they could be coming for Australians,'' Mr Palmer told reporters.

He distributed a Greenpeace strategy document, leaked two weeks ago, which canvassed the possible use of legal challenges and a video to fight coal mining.

Mr Palmer said the document "could have been written in Langley,'' a reference to the CIA's headquarters in Washington.

And he accused people linked to the document of treason.

"The Greens in the coming (Queensland) state election, all their candidates should resign if they are being funded by an off-shore political power. It's tantamount to treason,'' he said.

He said: "So I hope that's a headline for all of you today.''

Greenpeace’s senior campaigner for Australia and the Pacific John Hepburn said it was ludicrous to suggest that a community campaign on the environmental impacts of the coal mining is funded by the CIA.

He said the organisation does not accept money from governments or corporations.

“For Mr Palmer to dismiss environmental concerns over his own projects is worrying given that his China First mine in the Galilee Basin is proposed to be built on top of the Bimblebox Nature Refuge and that he is part of a proposal to build the world’s biggest coal port in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area,” Mr Hepburn said.

“Mr Palmer need only read any one of the nearly two thousand submissions from community members in opposition to his China First mine to understand the depth and breadth of community concern over the environmental impacts of the coal boom.”

Greens Leader Bob Brown said Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman should repudiate comments made by mining magnate Clive Palmer about the party.

Mr Newman is widely expected to win Saturday's state election by a landslide.

"They are very serious accusations made by a person who is going to be a chief confidant and adviser to Campbell Newman were he to become premier on Saturday," Senator Brown said, adding Mr Newman needed to repudiate the "nastiness and falsity of this attack".

"There is no greater influence over the next Campbell Newman government than Clive Palmer," Senator Brown said.

Greens founder Drew Hutton to sue Clive Palmer over mining conspiracy claims

March 21, 2012

http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2011/05/16/1226057/067025-clive-palmer.jpg

GREENS founder Drew Hutton is considering whether he should sue mining magnate Clive Palmer, after the billionaire yesterday claimed Greenpeace, the Greens, and activists including Mr Hutton were part of a conspiracy to undermine Australian mining interests.

In an extraordinary attack Mr Palmer said a plan by Greenpeace to launch legal action against future coal mining projects was funded by the US-based Rockefeller Foundation (http://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/what-we-do), which he said was in turn funded by the Central Intelligence Agency.

He said the Greens and Mr Hutton, who founded the party's Queensland chapter, were "tools'' of the US government, whose plan was to harm Australian interests to benefit American ones.

The Greens were being funded by "an offshore political power'' and that was tantamount to treason, Mr Palmer said.

Mr Hutton said this afternoon he was making up his mind whether or not to sue Mr Palmer, but lawyers have already told him he “has a very good case”.

"Treason is a capital offence in many countries,'' Mr Hutton said in a statement.

"As a proud Australian, I am disgusted by these bizarre and dishonest allegations.''

Mr Hutton said he first needed to discuss with his wife whether to go ahead with action, and needed to assess whether he had enough money to bankroll legal action.

Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr described Mr Palmer’s comments as "recklessly irresponsible'' that would “have investors and the American government wondering if some part of the Australia political system's lost its collective marbles”.

"You're going to have investors thinking, whoa, who's this, who is this guy?” Senator Carr said, adding he was expecting some diplomatic blowback over the comments.

"I expect to be taking phone calls from Americans today saying 'hang on, we're fighting together in Afghanistan, we've got a treaty relationship, do you think we'd be using the CIA to wreck the economy of an ally?''

Greens leader Bob Brown said Mr Palmer's attack on his party showed the billionaire miner was worried about the rise of the Greens in Queensland, ahead of this weekend’s state election in the sunshine state.

He said Mr Palmer should withdraw his comments.

"I have no doubt he's had overnight legal advice on some of the things he's said,'' Senator Brown said

Greenpeace hits back at Clive Palmer's CIA claim

http://content.video.news.com.au/NDM_-_Courier_Mail/63/601/clive648.jpg

March 21, 2012

GREENPEACE has admitted receiving funding from a US philanthropic organisation but says there's nothing wrong with that.

Mining billionaire Clive Palmer made the extraordinary claim on Tuesday that Greenpeace and the Australian Greens were being funded by the CIA via the Rockefeller Foundation to hurt Australian mining exports.


Greenpeace campaigner John Hepburn says the organisation received $70,000 from the Rockefeller Family Fund to research the environmental impacts of the Australian coal industry.

"We've accepted a small amount of funding from a philanthropic trust," Mr Hepburn told reporters in Brisbane.

"It's like accepting funding from the Lowy Trust or the Myer Foundation here in Australia.

"...It would be less than what Clive Palmer spends on caviar in a year."

Mr Hepburn called on Liberal National Party (LNP) leader Campbell Newman to rule out giving its largest donor, Mr Palmer, special exemptions for his China First mining project.

That development threatens the Bimblebox nature reserve and the LNP has pledged to protect areas of high conservation value from mines, Mr Hepburn said.


Meanwhile, anti-coal seam gas activist Drew Hutton said he would decide whether to launch a defamation suit against Clive Palmer after speaking with his wife and assessing his funds.

He said his Lock the Gate Alliance was funded by members and donations from members and supporters, and not US interests.

"There's been no foreign funding, there's been no government funding, and as far as I'm aware no corporate funding for Lock the Gate," Mr Hutton said.

The activist said he would drop any plans for legal action if he received a public apology from Mr Palmer.

"If you say something which is unfair to somebody, if you're a decent human being and you realise that you've been unfair then you apologise," he said.

"That's the decent thing to do."

PS - I have to Agree with Greenpeace on just 1 thing...


"It's like accepting funding from the Lowy Trust or the Myer Foundation here in Australia."

Yes, recieving $$$ from the Rockefeller Foundation is 'Exactly' like recieving $$$ from the 'Lowy Trust' &/or the 'Myer Foundation'...:yes4:

GetUp! to fund legal suit against Clive Palmer

March 22, 2012

ACTIVIST group GetUp! will fund a legal suit against Clive Palmer after the billionaire linked environmentalist Drew Hutton to an alleged CIA plot to damage the Queensland coal industry.

Mr Hutton told The Australian Online he had been bombarded with offers of financial support and revealed GetUp! had made an offer this afternoon to finance his legal case for defamation.

“I spoke to (GetUp! director) Simon Sheikh and he said they would back me,” Mr Hutton said.

He said he would finalise plans with his wife tonight before issuing a statement of intent to Mr Palmer through his lawyer tomorrow.

PS - So Who is GetUp..?

Let me educate you...




Please listen to me & ALL AUSTRALIANS for that matter when I say this 'Get Up' is one of the most Sneeky & Dangerous Organisations in our Country and are totally backed by the Left Wing Progressive NWO Globalsists, Masquerading as Environmentalists!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/67/GetUp_Action_for_Australia_logo.png/200px-GetUp_Action_for_Australia_logo.png


BACKGROUND

GetUp! is an Australian political organisation that campaigns on issues important to its members. It was launched in August 2005, the week that the Coalition took control of the Australian Senate.

GetUp campaigns are community based, and are primarily coordinated through the Internet. They involve email, its website, and traditional media. GetUp is a non-profit organisation, and states that it relies on donations from individuals, organisations, unions and community groups for funding.[2]

GetUp describes itself as "a new independent political movement to build a progressive Australia".[3] They identify campaigns based on the interests of its members, which are usually issues such as "social justice, economic fairness and environmental sustainability".[4]

HISTORY

Founded by Jeremy Heimans and David Madden, the GetUp.org.au website was launched on 1 August 2005 along with a television advertising campaign. Inspired by the American website MoveOn.org.

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/GetUp!

WHO ARE Jeremy Heimans and David Madden?

David Madden is an Australian entrepreneur associated with progressive causes. He is a co-founder of GetUp! a web-based political movement, and Avaaz.org, a global advocacy movement.

Madden grew up in Canberra and served as an Army officer before studying Arts and Law at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Madden served as president of the University of New South Wales Student Guild after defeating the Labor Left candidate in a landslide.

After winning the University Medal in History, Madden was awarded Fulbright and Frank Knox scholarships to study at Harvard University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in law and completed his master's degree in public policies.

Madden has worked for the World Bank in Timor Leste, and for the United Nations in Indonesia. He is the co-author of Imagining Australia: Ideas for Our Future (Allen & Unwin, 2004).

In 2004, Madden was one of the founders of Win Back Respect, a web-based campaign against the foreign policy of United States President George W. Bush. The following year, together with Jeremy Heimans, he co-founded GetUp!, a similar campaign against the recently re-elected Howard government in Australia. Madden and Heimans subsequently co-founded Avaaz.org.

In 2006 Madden and Heimans were named one of the "Top 10 People who are Changing the World of Politics and the Internet" by Politics Online and the World E-Government Forum.

WHAT IS Avaaz.org?

Avaaz.org is an international left-wing civic organization established in January 2007[1] that promotes activism on issues such as climate change, human rights, and religious conflicts.[2] Its stated mission is to "ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform global decision-making." The organization operates in thirteen languages, and claims to have more than eight million members in 193 countries.

The name Avaaz (Persian: آواز)(Devanagari:आवाज ) was derived from the Persian/Hindi/Urdu/Punjabi/Marathi word for 'voice'. Avaaz.org was co-founded by ResPublica, an American community of public sector professionals dedicated to promoting good governance, civic virtue and deliberative democracy, and MoveOn.org, an American non-profit progressive public policy advocacy group and political action committee. The organization was also supported by Service Employees International Union, a founding partner, and GetUp.org.au. Avaaz's individual co-founders include Executive Director Ricken Patel (a Canadian citizen living in New York),[4] Virginia congressman Tom Perriello, Australian progressive entrepreneur David Madden, Jeremy Heimans (co-founders of Purpose.com), Andrea Woodhouse, Tom Pravda, and MoveOn Executive Director Eli Pariser.[5]

ACTIVITIES

Avaaz is managed by a team of campaigners working from Switzerland, Brazil, the United States, Argentina, and the United Kingdom. They communicate with members via email, and employ campaigning tactics including online public petitions, videos, and email-your-leader tools.

Purpose, a for-profit company, states on its web site that "Purpose creates 21st century movements. (Agenda 21) We look for ways that movements can help solve major global problems. To do this, we work with some of the most exciting players in the new green and social economy to help them get to scale faster and some of the world's biggest brands to mobilize their consumers for significant social impact," and goes on to say that its principals co-founded Avaaz.[11]

At the 2007 G8 conference, Avaaz.org protested against the "U.S. administration [for its] 'wrecking tactics' and failure to agree to specific, binding global goals" when it came to the mitigation of global warming.

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Avaaz.org

WHAT & WHO are MoveOn.org?

MoveOn.org is an American non-profit, progressive[1] or liberal[2][3] public policy advocacy group and political action committee, which has raised millions of dollars for candidates it identifies as "moderates" or "progressives" in the United States.

MoveOn.org Financial contributors

According to an article in the Washington Post dated March 10, 2004:

"The Democratic 527 organizations have drawn support from some wealthy liberals determined to defeat Bush. They include financier George Soros who gave $1.46 million to MoveOn.org Voter Fund (in the form of matching funds to recruit additional small donors); Peter B. Lewis, chief executive of the Progressive Corp., who gave $500,000 to MoveOn.org Voter Fund; and Linda Pritzker, of the Hyatt hotel family, and her Sustainable World Corp., who gave $4 million to the joint fundraising committee."

Clive Palmer has already filed a suit against 'The Hyatt Hotel Group'

Clive Palmer to sue Hyatt for $60m

22 Feb 2012

Mining magnate Clive Palmer will sue Hyatt Hotels for $60 million, accusing it of siphoning money from his Queensland resort and covering it up.

Mr Palmer on Tuesday announced he had sacked Hyatt Hotels Corporation as the manager of his luxury golf resort at Coolum on the Sunshine Coast.

He later accused the company of siphoning $60 million in funds from the resort over the past two decades.

An application against Hyatt will be filed in the Queensland Supreme Court and a complaint will also be made about Hyatt’s activities to authorities in the United States, he said.

The two Tories reveled in each other’s company overnight as Johnson first suggested he should be advising Abbott on being the next leader to which Abbott quipped something about it was possibly the other way around.

And in the midst of all the guffawing it was lost who meant what and whether such advice was from the next leader or to a future leader or both.

That was before both men sat down for more serious matters like infrastructure, roads and transport and perhaps a leadership tip or two back and forth particularly on garnishing the migrant vote.

For once Mr Johnson was keeping tight-lipped on who said and meant what.

http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2012/12/18/1226539/331205-boris-johnson-meets-tony-abbott.jpg

The ever-ebullient London mayor is seen as the only Conservative leader with the popularity to see the Conservatives remain in power while Mr Abbott has made no secret of his ambition and has put on a breakneck London trip commensurate with someone keen to garner support from the mother country.

Mr Abbott met with the London chief on a day that also included meetings with Jon Day, chairman of the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee to discuss international security issues, and Foreign Secretary William Hague on the future of the mission in Afghanistan.

Mr Abbott then ducked across Whitehall for a meeting with Work and Pensions Secretary Ian Duncan Smith to discuss welfare reform then see the practical side with Jeremy Hempstead, chief executive of the London Apprenticeship Centre, integrating disadvantaged jobless into the market.

Then it was a late session with Sir Mervyn King, Bank of England governor, to discuss the economic weaknesses still plaguing Europe. And that was just in one day of a four-day trip.

On the latter visit, Mr Abbott said it was important to have a “good handle” on what was happening in the British economy, which has suffered a double dip recession under Sir Mervyn's stewardship.

“I think it is important Australia does not go down that European path and frankly if the government cannot move back into surplus swiftly, if the government cannot get its spending under control it remains a government that’s addicted to taxing, spending and borrowing and that’s where we are headed, we are headed down the European path,” Mr Abbott said.

PS - Now to (Connect...The...Dots)

1. I distinctly remember watching ex-PM John Howard being interviewed on the ABC regarding his Autobiographical book of memoirs after his tenure as PM.

He was asked the Question on Tony Abbotts current leadership of the Australian Liberal Party and his career as an MP.

Howard Responded (edit - not word for word) "Abbott was a 'Rhodes Scholar' (Meaning he was 'Tapped' at an early age) and now he is leader, its IMPORTANT for him to meet the 'Right People'."

ABC Interviewer (edit - not word for word) "Who are the 'Right People'...?"

Howard then quickly 'Changed the Subject' and continued the interview..!

2. Then Abbott meets the Lord Mayor of the 'City of London' Boris Johnson...

3. Then Abbott meets Jon Day, chairman of the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee to discuss international security issues, and Foreign Secretary William Hague


William Hague is the 'Key-Govt-Link' between the :spy: No.1 Spy Organisation (The Royal Institute of International Affairs - Chatnam House) who (CONTROL) 'All' the other major 3-Letter Agencies i.e CIA, FBI, NSA, etc, etc...

4. Mr Abbott then ducked across Whitehall for a meeting with Work and Pensions Secretary Ian Duncan Smith to discuss welfare reform.

Why? Heard about how the US Govt. are gearing up to rob the people of their 401k's, Pensions?

So there you have it...


Now, you don't need to be a 'Rhodes Scholar' to (Connect...The...Dots) now do you..!!!

Pardon the pun...

What a Sick-Corrupted World we live in..!!!

Bye-Bye Australia :wave: - Welcome to the UK, USA, Europe (Economic-Club)...:yes4:


The 'Debt-Clock'...

JuLIAR Gillard's Labor Govt had $20 Billion in the Bank before they started, now we are $179 Billion in (Net Debt) and borrwing at a rate of $100 Million/per day...

With 'Nothing' to show for it...:mad2:

Remember: Australia only has 23 Million people

See for yourself...:shocked:

Julia Gillard makes no promises to leave superannuation untouched

March 28, 2013

PM will not commit to leaving super untouched

JULIA Gillard has failed to rule out if Labor will raid superannuation funds in the May budget, saying any decisions made for the sector will be in Australia's long term interest.

It comes after Tony Abbott declared the Coalition will make ''no adverse unexpected changes'' to superannuation in its first term of government.

Rest of story here....

http://www.news.com.au/money/superannuation/penny-wong-calls-for-calm-over-superannuation-tax/story-e6frfmdi-1226607390721

1. JuLIAR (IS) going to (RAPE) our Superannuation/401k's


Superannuation and the proposed changes by Labor

Date: 10/04/2013


“Labor has already cut the amount that can be contributed to super and raised more than $8 billion in revenue from superannuation – and now they are coming back for more.

http://www.johnalexander.net.au/content/superannuation-and-proposed-changes-labor

2. Regarding Tony Abbotts take on Super/401k's


It comes after Tony Abbott declared the Coalition will make ''no adverse unexpected changes'' to superannuation (in its first term of government).

''no adverse unexpected changes'' to superannuation (in its first term of government)...:confused:

Now just (WTF) did I say on the 25th December 2012 (Last Year)..!

Why don't you just "Wiki" Clive Palmer and read about his take-overs of mining companies. Wiki is no less reliable than your sources Jacko.
This guy buys Coaling Companies as easy as buying loaves of processed bread.
I am sure he is willing to raise consciousness around, "free energy". Lol.
Sure, I am less trusting of his "Let us save Australia" intentions
Change is not going to happen in political spheres. These paradigms are in a state of dissolve.

And you don't need to send me another condescending personal message either

Ok (lunaflare), I will share with (Everyone) the (PM) I just sent you...


This ... [ Mod-edit: Jackovesk posted a PM from another member, lunaflare, without apparent permission. This is not allowed. I removed the quoted PM. - Paul. ]


My Response to your (PM)

If your beef was all about (Free Energy) then (Why) didn't you say so in the (1st Place)...:noidea:

Realistically, I wasn't aware that's what the Debate was (all about)...:nono:

You do realise that (in this day & age STILL), anyone who tries to introduce it will find themselves (6ft Under) in a blink of an eye..! Don't you..?

For the Record:


I am all for (Free Energy)
Dead against (Coal Seam Gas Fracking)
Sick of us Digging UP our Natural Resources for Energy
Know (Global Warming) is a SCAM


Did you realise that after (Educating) himself on (Coal Seam Gas Fracking) Clive doesn't support it...(Because he found out the TRUTH)

I always end up in these pseudo (Left vs Right) arguments, when all I am ever after is the TRUTH...

Clive himself knows (all to well of the plight) the Australian people are up against and (HE IS) telling the public (as much as he can) of just (WHO) is behind it...


So far he's called out JuLIAR Gillard, Tony Abbott, Jeff Seeney, Tim Nicholls, The Lobbyists & the Think Tanks & Frank Lowey of the Criminal (Lowey Institute) which is one of the Entities (Faceless Men) that run & tell our Govt. what to do on behalf of the NWO/Globalists..!!! etc...

At least (He Is) trying to educate the Australian people on the TRUTH..!

Now, just (WHO) do you know is doing the same..?

Do (YOU) have any other alternatives, to rescue Australia from the perils that lay ahead..?

So what if Clive is a (Coal Baron Mining Billionairre) what's that got to do with getting us out of this MESS...:confused:


How many Jobs have you created in Australia..?
How many $Millions of your own money have you put into Aboriginal welfare..?
Have you ever (Stood Up) in front of the (Entire Country) & called out the Crooks?



Seems you have a tantrum when your point of view is challenged

Only when the Accuser hasn't done their Homework...:faint:

Now go back to that 'Thread' and have a (LOOK) at the rest of the research I have included...

Really, what's COAL got to do with the TRUTH..?


On 29 February 2012, Ben Buckley and (Frank Lowy) announced that his license for Gold Coast United FC was to be revoked for constant breaches of FFA rules and regulations

Frank Lowey, hey...


You do (Know) who Frank Lowey is (Don't You)..?
You (Do Know) that Frank Lowey knows all about (911) Don't You..?
You (Do Know) that Frank Lowey along with his good buddy Larry Silverstein made $Billions out of the (Blg Insurance SCAM) they got away with after 911 Don't you..?


Well I'll tell you (1) thing, Clive Palmer knows (Exactly) who he is...:yes4:

Next time (State your Case), back it up with some (Facts &/or Research) and I'll be only too happy to debate you..:)

Is that (All) to Delusional...:confused:

Thanks for replying

In my opinion Clive Palmer is simply looking out for his OWN best interests and doing what all
good politians do and claiming it's for our own good.
What he's saying about the CIA may well have some truth but i'm not going to start believing
that our problems are going to be solved by supporting one or another politian or party.

Especially a mining billionare with a forked tongue.

We do not need anyone with a successfull corporate background having anything to do with leading our countries.

Clive is only after more money and fame. If he truly gave a rats he'd have been moving for the political scene long before his profits were touched by the taxes and the future of his big income threatened.


There is nohope for Politics. It doesnt matter if it's in Australia or on the Moon, the system is broken, and has never worked, promotes corruption, greed and pain. The only hope for Australia is its People.

Question: Are you aware the (Mining Tax) is a (DUD) for the Govt, so how on earth could it affect Clives business..?


The federal government on Friday revealed the 30 per cent minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) on the super-profits of iron ore and coal miners raised just $126 million in its first six months.

It was projected to generate revenue of $2 billion by the end of 2012/13.

Election Prediction if Clive's (United Aust. Party) gets off the ground...




1. Labor (GONE) for at least (10) years if not (Longer)
2. Greens (GONE) never to be taken seriously again (FINISHED) (Ka-PUT) (NaDa)
3. LNP (Won't do as well as expected) Shocked by the result
4. INDEPENDENTS (Banished Forever)
5. UAP (Will Decimate) Katters Aust. Party - Take Votes off Labor, LNP & Greens & do (Suprisingly Well)...:yes4:

Clives (UAP) will have a devastating impact on a (LNP) Majority Clean-Sweep (Why?) Because people just don't trust (Tony Abbott).

It (All) depends on how Clive manages his Parties (Message & Policies) & just (Who) he brings into the team...

Let's have a (Look) at 2010's Disastrous (Hung Parliament)

http://www.abc.net.au/news/linkableblob/4491594/data/custom-parliament-seats-chart-data.png
Infographic: The current make-up of the House of Representatives (150 seats) and the Senate (76 seats).

Let's have look at the (House of Representatives) consisting of (150 seats)




Labor: 71 Seats
LNP: 72 Seats
Greens: 1 Seat
Independents: 5 Seats

If Clive's (UAP) does their Homework & their Message/Policies resonate with Australian Public...

This is my Prediction (A very Conservative One at that)




Labor: 25 Seats
LNP: 99 Seats
Greens: 0 Seats
Independents: 0 Seats
UAP: 26 Seats and (Sharing - The Balance of Power)

Of course a lot has to flow under the bridge before this type of Election Result eventuates...

But I do see the (UAP) having a (Major Impact) on the 2013 September Elections...:yes4:

Election (Tips) for the (UAP)

Go for the jugular on (Tony Abbott) i.e.



His Flip-Flopping
His disgraceful attempt at dis-believing (Bernie Banton) & siding with (James Hardie Cororation) on the asbestos issue
Highlight (All) of Abbotts (Inside Deals) i.e. The Hanson Affair, etc
Abbott's (Direct Action) Climate Change Plan
Expose his beliefs in his Book (Battlelines)
Take him to (Task) on where he (Will) increase the (GST) & raid our (Super) through Austerity Measure in lieu of Labors (Massive DEBT) left behind


(All in All) Expect the Unexpected if Clive & his (United Australia Party) Get it right...

(They might even WIN)...:shocked:

ONE MORE THING of (GREAT IMPORTANCE)

Watch how many (Prominent 'CURRENT' Members of Parliament) switch over to the (UAP)...

On the (Prominent Australians) joining the (UAP)

PS - One more thing (to my Critics) at least I'm not afraid to (Lay it all out there) for all to see...

PSS - Looks like the PTW Crooks are (WORRIED) already...:yes4:

Mining magnate Clive Palmer says police are investigating a burglary at his company's Brisbane headquarters overnight.

He says a computer was stolen, along with corporate and financial records.

Mr Palmer says he believes the incident is linked to his recent decision to contest the September federal election with the United Australia Party.

"I had a telephone call from our financial adviser Michael Dahl who said there'd been a break-in to our financial section, that his computer had been stolen and other items had been stolen and been gone through, which I can't go through," he said.

"The police are now investigating.

Food labelling latest Palmer policy

Colour-coding Australian-made consumables is the latest policy announcement by billionaire businessman and political hopeful Clive Palmer.


If elected, the Palmer United Party will introduce food labelling which will see a red tag on products made with more than five per cent non-Australian components.

"Under the current laws, it is impossible to determine the breakdown between ingredients and packaging when an item is labelled Australian-made," Mr Palmer said.

Items with 95 per cent or more Australian ingredients and packaging will carry a green and gold tag.

"This will help to grow Australian jobs and the economy," Mr Palmer said.

The policy announcement follows others from Mr Palmer over the weekend, including $80 billion for the health sector and scrapping the carbon tax.


Mr Palmer said "it was about time politicians started focusing on the needs of citizens, not their own selfish interests."

The federal government already spends about $81 billion on health.

He plans to contest all 150 House of Representatives seats and appoint a Senate team in each state and territory, with candidates already endorsed in Queensland, NSW and Victoria.

Australian billionaire Clive Palmer (https://www.forbes.com/profile/clive-palmer/?sh=18bf6c874a97) has been planning to build Titanic II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_II) for the past ten years. It'll cost (https://theweek.com/transport/titanic-ii-replica-clive-palmer) between 500 million to one billion to build.

Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13288299/Titanic-Incredible-video-cross-section-doomed-liner.html) article

Did JP Morgan Sink the Titantic? (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?89862-Did-JP-Morgan-Sink-the-Titantic&highlight=Titantic)


The ebullient resources player and former member of the Australian Parliament, Clive Palmer became a billionaire in 2019.
His fortune soared after a court ordered a flow of iron ore royalties to his company, Mineralogy, to resume.
He started Mineralogy in 1984 and has built a portfolio of iron ore, thermal coal and hydrocarbon assets.
He also owned Queensland Nickel, which operated a nickel-and-cobalt refinery, but the company collapsed in 2016.
Palmer is engaged in litigation with several parties, including Australia's corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
