Gangrenous Toe Clive Palmer Is Suing Australia For $300 Billion In Damages Over A Rejected Mine

Clive Palmer, a literal billionaire who does not need more money, is suing Australia over claims the government owes him almost $300 billion in damages because of a rejected mine. And he’s called in former Attorney General (and ABC lawsuit loser) Christian Porter to help him do it.

The parasitic egg’s Singapore-based company Zeph Investments lodged the lawsuit under international trade law on Tuesday, The West Australian revealed, which claims Australia owes him USD$198,202,414,285 (around AUD$297 billion) in damages, not including interests and costs.

Remember #auspol, when Palmer sues "the government", he is actually suing you, me, your children, grandchildren, neighbours, colleagues and friends. He is after taxpayers' funds that could go towards your kids' education or granny's new hip. He's a prick.https://t.co/3oavgzFBZR

Spokesperson for the attorney-general, Mark Dreyfus, has maintained the government will fight the lawsuit.

“We will vigorously defend Australia’s interests,” he said, per The West Australian.

“The commonwealth will work with Western Australia to ensure Australia’s interests are protected.

“As these matters have now become the subject of an investor-state claim, it would not be appropriate to provide further comment at this time.”

Clive Palmer, on the other hand, is clearly trying to appeal to the average Aussie with his own comments, where he claimed “if any windfall was to come to Mineralogy, the funds would be used for public good”.

Any windfall would go to neglected WA hospitals, new independent newspaper

Right, as if this squished toad knows anything about public good.

Palmer suggested he might use these funds to invest in WA’s health system and hospitals, which is concerning given his anti-vaccine stance.

He also said he could invest in a “new independent daily newspaper in WA which doesn’t rely on cartoons to sell copies”, in a sooky reference to a quite frankly hilarious cover the The West Australian published.

The Commonwealth has 30 days to formally respond to Zeph Investments’ notice of dispute.
