He may well be, but his numbers on the so-called budget emergency/crisis are interesting - the Coalition is in trouble.
When the new Senate convenes after 1st July, the PUP senators stirring the possum will be very interesting.
This may lead to a DD, and considering how much the Coalition is on the nose with the public at the moment a few Coalition politicians would be very worried.
Whilst agree Palmer timed his run and made use of the general disenchantment with the duopoly, his primary vote is no different to that achieved by Hanson/One Nation, and Palmer effectively bought his way in. I cannot see it being repeated, unfortunately (just need to do it without Clive).
I would be concerned that as a political party he would have access to information that is not availabe in the market place but available to politicians in confidence.
Clive is still working for the Nats. If he gets his way there will be no carbon tax, no ETS, etc or even the coalitions policy. So we have no climate policy from Clive. He doesn't cut the Climate commission. No need they will simple be instructed to spend the money there on coalition ideas and when the money runs out the department will not be refunded.
He is a genius. No wonder he made Joh so successful in Qld
