UPDATE: Still reading sodding QLD Electoral Act. Much tired. Very eyestrain. Can't find my reading glasses, which I only use about once a year anyway. They make me look like my dad, which is scary. I might call it a night. On track to finish #ClivePalmer report by end of weekend.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your kind words, because this is a deadset grind. I don't have the knowledge to try & get him on breach of party constitution, and for such a litigious man I'd expect him to have that side of it sewn up. But the truth is I just wouldn't know,

and I don't have time to teach myself. Time is of the essence, because if the AEC doesn't succeed in deregistering him, I or someone else must challenge him before the state election comes off. I hope the people in QLD remember the federal election and what he did.

I hope they remember, and understand that he has zero interest in occupying a seat in parliament - he wants a government indebted to him, loyal to him, and money is not an issue.

I have no personal stake in this. I'm doing it because I think I'm capable of putting together a decent argument without loopholes. I have the time and I am motivated by what he did at the federal election. I want to fight back against this bullshit takeover of our country.

Fuck the Clive Palmers. Fuck the Angus Taylors. Fuck Scott Morrison and all his stupid split personalities. Fuck Spud and his police state. Fuck this whole rapacious government. Fuck Rupert Murdoch. We're not your serfs. We're angry and we've HAD ENOUGH.

Is this the best world you can come up with, you stagnating old men? All your wealth, privilege, power, advantages - this is the best you can do? Fossil fuel, destruction of millenia of history , it's all take and take and take with you bastards. You never give anything back.

I think we can do better than that, Australia. Don't you agree?
