How much cost expend and how many hours of research and preparation... for what? To back-up the petulant Palmer's desire to look at his mine?
This is a matter for a federal ICAC. Palmer spent an estimated $80m to keep Labs out of Govt and wants the Lib Govt to pay for his expenses? To jump when he says and do his bidding? Yes I'm (perhaps) exaggerating but certainly this needs looking at very closely.
Palmer is more an histrionic actor rather than a business man.. remember when he was in court for the legal action against the Chinese? He lost weight to do that role - now that's sacrifice for your art... pushing a walking frame and getting layers of make-up. And what a remarkable recovery!? He now looks even more obese than he was when sleeping in Fed Parliament.
