It's odious for a billionaire to appropriate the left's language (Whitlam's 'men and women of Australia', and FDR's 'New Deal').
Clive Palmer thinks Australians are stupid, and consistently loses elections, despite having limitless funding.
Hopefully he'll split the cooker vote in 2028.

As sure as night follows day, within a few months the predictions of doomsday currently dominating sections of our media will have proved to be illusory.

As well as the cost of extreme weather and natural disasters, longer-term climatic changes are also a drag on economic productivity, the NSW Net Zero Commission says.
He's a serial loser. And I hate the way he has appropriated the language of the left (Whitlam's 'men and women of Australia', and FDR's 'New Deal'). He thinks Australians are stupid, but he consistently loses almost every electoral race he runs, even with limitless financing.
