Thread: #IStandWithMarkMcGowan @CliveFPalmer Palmer never officially applied to enter WA and was instead bizarrely listed as the “husband” of his jet pilot on an application form.
3 application forms to enter WA were submitted in the name of Carlo Filingeri, the pilot of the billionaire’s private jet. Mr Filingeri listed his gender as “female” and Mr Palmer as his “husband” under the next of kin section of one form, which was received by WA Police in May
In another form the pilot listed his “wife” as being Anna Palmer — who is actually married to the United Australia Party leader — and in the third listed Tiffany Bunn as his “partner”.
The only correctly completed form appears to have been submitted by Mr Palmer’s daughter, Emily

The paperwork was so badly botched that WA Police believed it was a hoax and rejected the applications, sparking Mr Palmer’s fury.
No application was forthcoming and Mr Palmer who wanted to meet #Cormann in Perth — instead instructed his legal team to challenge the constitutional validity of the border closure directions in the High Court.
