– He survived not only the Dismissal but two terms of Kevin as prime minister as well
– He got out of the prime ministership before he had to find the money to pay for what he’d done

Following Jacqui’s anti-Clive outbursts there must be doubts whether their party can continue to claim to be Palmer United. Some are proposing it should be renamed the Palmer Opposing Party in which case PUP would go POP.

Sarah Hanson Young Thought Bubble

‘It’s perfectly logical that the earth could be continuing to warm up but showing no outward signs. I’ve had the hots for Tony for years but who would know?’
