world dinosaur annual forum...

dinopollies

Federal and state politicians have been receiving invitations to join former world leaders at the World Leadership Alliance "world annual forum" at Clive Palmer’s Palmer Coolum Resort on 7 December – billed as “a major event for Australia and indeed the world”.

The event co-ordinator said she was “waiting for confirmation” from federal politicians, but that many of the just-elected member for Fairfax’s new parliamentary colleagues were unable to attend because the forum falls on a weekend between two sitting weeks.

The event – at the mining magnate’s Queensland golf resort and dinosaur park – will be held immediately after the annual meeting of the Club de Madrid, which the spokeswoman said Palmer was “part sponsoring”, including providing free accommodation for 58 former leaders at his resort.

The World Leadership Alliance, of which Palmer is joint secretary-general, and an associated body, the World Economic Council, were formed last year after Palmer reportedly donated more than $1m to the Club de Madrid, a forum of former democratic presidents and prime ministers. Palmer’s company Mineralogy also registered the name “world leadership alliance – world economic council”.

The Australian reported last year that financial accounts of Club de Madrid showed Palmer had donated £500,000 to the organisation from his wholly-owned company Queensland Nickel and another £229,200 flowed from his company Mineralogy.

tony has a chance to sink palmer for tax evasion...

 

Billionaire businessman and newly sworn-in MP Clive Palmer said on Tuesday that the Abbott government should sue him if they want to get the $6.17m in carbon tax owed by his company Queensland Nickel.

Speaking to the National Press Club on the day he took his seat in federal parliament for the first time, Palmer said he could see no problem with an elected legislator refusing to comply with the still-valid carbon tax law.

He said he did not run his businesses but had no intention of divesting himself of any of them.

Palmer claimed the existing carbon tax law was “not under valid law” because Queensland Nickel had initiated a High Court challenge against it and the management of his company had decided that it would not pay the tax until the challenge had been heard.

“I don’t have to justify that, it’s just the reality of it,” Palmer said. “It’s not me complying with anything, companies I own aren’t me, I am a different person, I can think, I am flesh and blood, companies are not flesh and blood … we don’t have to justify it … and the government, if it thinks they are owed the tax, should commence legal proceedings against us.”

dinosaur clive put its foot down in the palmer united party...

Senator Jacqui Lambie's chief of staff has been expelled from the Palmer United Party (PUP), in a move that will inflame existing tensions within the balance-of-power voting bloc.

The party's leader, Clive Palmer, has accused senator Lambie of acting as "Rob Messenger's mouthpiece" and has suggested she should challenge for the leadership if she is unhappy.

"Everything Senator Lambie says is really coming from her chief of staff," Mr Palmer said in a statement.

"Last night our executive met and we have agreed to expel Rob Messenger from the party on the grounds of making false and misleading statements about our Senators."

Mr Messenger has been working as Senator Lambie's chief of staff since her election, but was previously a Queensland Liberal National Party MP and independent candidate.

He also ran as a Palmer United Party candidate at the last federal election in the seat of Hinkler.

An executive who worked for Clive Palmer wrote him a "coded" document regarding his pay that only the two men would understand, the Supreme Court in Brisbane heard today.

Bill Schoch, the former manager of Mr Palmer's Coolum Resort on the Sunshine Coast, is suing Mr Palmer and two of his companies for $4.6 million in damages and unpaid wages.

Mr Schoch worked for Mr Palmer from 2011 until his job was terminated in December 2013.

Today, under cross-examination, Mr Schoch told the court he had not mentioned what he claims was his entitlement to a $1 million-a-year pay deal in a company document because he wanted it to remain confidential.

"It was a code," he said.

"The purpose of the code is so that only people using the code understand it.

Extinction of the dinosaur...

Clive Palmer's Waratah Coal company is seeking Federal Government assistance in developing a "clean coal" plant in Queensland.

Waratah Coal's manager Nui Harris told 7.30 the company lodged an expression of interest with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) last Thursday to develop a $1.2 billion, 900 megawatt carbon capture and storage plant.

"The proposed site is north of Alpha, near Waratah's coal tenement in Queensland's Galilee Basin," he said.

Mr Harris said the expression of interest was prompted by recent statements by Federal Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg.

"He said we should consider carbon capture and storage as part of the clean energy mix," he said.

"At the moment this technology doesn't meet the Government's clean energy guidelines, but we're hoping these guidelines will be changed in the near future."

------------

In a very generous act, it it likely that the Liberal (KONservative) government will give Palmer a few bucks for having helped sunk the carbon price that was saving the planet far more than what Turnshitt is doing with his fake "clean" coal...
