"Billionaire businessman, Clive Palmer, has warned Labor against legislating electoral spending and donation caps, accusing it of attempting to “silence the diversity of ideas in this country”.
The Albanese government is preparing legislation to cap political donations and electoral spending, citing the influence of Palmer’s hundreds of millions of electoral spending, backed by donations from his company Mineralogy to the United Australia Party.
Although the reforms are backed by an inquiry into the 2022 election by the joint standing committee on electoral matters (Jscem), Palmer’s intervention into the debate spells trouble for the government, which could face a high court challenge on the basis caps infringe the implied freedom of political communication."
Hahaha no one listens to this Jabba the Hutt looking walking heart attack anyway. This useless fuck puts himself in the news with outlandish shit all the time and the press run with it just to fill a quota.
This is a dude who wanted to rebuild the Titanic which went nowhere, he wanted to make Jurassic park with “State of the art animatronics” from china, which china sent him the old crappy ones, he’s a joke here and not one person with a sense of intelligence actually listens to him.
Unfortunately, people do. His party gets votes.
I hope labor also takes the opportunity to ban sms and political advertising that is banned outside of politics.
I did say no one with a sense of intelligence listens to him lol.
Haha, very true.
Clive Palmer is a Fatty McFuckhead.
I have one of those shirts, he’s so hated that no one’s ever had a go at me for it , just laughed and gone " yeah fuck Clive Palmer".
Fuck, I googled it and he literally just yesterday had a presser saying he was doing the Titanic II thing again: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/mar/13/clive-palmer-titanic-ii-relaunch-plans-sydney-opera-house
At least that’s money he’s not spending on a political campaign
