So the interwebs got pretty funny this week, what with "person, woman, man, camera, TV" and then a serial litigant billionaire tries to litigate his way into our state via litigation.
While the premier has shut down the border for months, allowing us to begin behaving as normal now, Clive Palmer wants to fly over here for a meeting. The rest of us are doing zoom quite happily thank you very much. Frex, I have a meeting with a journalist in Japan on Saturday.
In taking the state guv to court, so he can have a meeting in person, Clive Palmer is taking us all to court. As a billionaire businessman he is asking, no actually demanding, that we open our state to him. West Australians are naturally pretty pissed about this. It's a test case, yes, but fuck it. Keep the coal-fuelled billionaires out and keep the borders shut. It's a no brainer.
Let's hope the state government wins this case.

I am impressed with your restraint. 'Dickhead' was not the first word that came to my mind.
ReplyDeleteOkay, how about arsehat or cockwomble? Coalc*nt? Nappy Numpty?
DeleteYep. I've been really active on Face-ache signing petitions, taking part in polls and sharing like mad. What an absolute c**t. He, and the Feds, aren't winning any friends here in the wild west. Even more reason to become an independent state - as if we didn't have enough reasons already. McGowan has something up his sleeve if we lose the case. Our legal advisors are saying it isn't a constitututional issue and that may be the card he is holding. In the meatime I will continue to accept FB invitations to events like: Cough at Clive Palmer at the Airport.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's not reading the room very well, is he.
DeleteYes just shows how his money makes him feel entitled. He is a first class f---wit.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryly,
ReplyDeleteHe wins first prize for the galah category.
Birds, fortunately, aren't so silly.
