Palmer Group sells Qantas shares

Businessman Clive Palmer today confirmed that the Palmer Group of Companies had sold its entire stake of Qantas shares as a result of the airline’s stance on mandatory vaccinations for all staff.

@Qantas #MandatoryVaccinations
“I believe that Alan Joyce and his Board have taken risks which could result in possible future legal ramifications,’’ Mr Palmer said.
“We have seen statistics in the TGA reports released by the Australian Federal Government which reveal hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of adverse reactions from the vaccines.
“I believe the financial risks Qantas is taking over mandatory vaccinations of its staff leaves them exposed to future financial damages by staff who suffer side effects or worse,’’ Mr Palmer said.
“This is clearly an unacceptable future financial risk Qantas and its Board are taking.

“No one knows ultimately what the cost of damages may be over a longer period.
“I would encourage directors of other public companies to realise future financial exposure if staff are mandated to take vaccines which cause damages,’’ Mr Palmer said.

PM should consider ‘concerning’ new CDC data when forming COVID policy:

UAP Chairman today called on PM Scott Morrison to retract previous statements on punishing unvaccinated Australians, in light of new research from the USA’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC has issued a statement updating its guidance for fully vaccinated people as new data showed the Delta variant resulted in similarly high viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
The study conducted from multiple large public events in Massachusetts identified 469 Covid-19 cases, 346 (74%) of these cases occurred from people who were vaccinated.

New death tax revealed for Queensland: Clive Palmer

The Palaszczuk Government was discussing a new death tax to be imposed on Queenslanders if returned to power.

#qldpol
The Qld Labor Govt would justify the new tax to combat its $120bn debt blowout.

Under a returned Labor Govt, we will see family assets taken by the state. Our children & grandchildren will have assets chiselled out from them after hard efforts and endeavours of those before them
“I stood with Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen when he abolished the death tax in Queensland and we saw the immediate wealth created for the state when people from Victoria and New South Wales fled the Labor states for Queensland.

“As coronavirus cases continue to reduce and given the fact that we are now in the worst recession since World War II, it is essential the borders are open so we can get the economy moving again,’’
“We have to be concerned about our fellow citizens and what these closures are doing to them.

Palmer responds to Premier’s declaration of war

Today I responded to the declaration of war made against me by Premier Mark McGowan.

“The power to declare war as the Premier knows does not vest with a State Government or indeed the Premier of Western Australia.
“It's disturbing that the Premier believes he can declare war on a citizen because a citizen has sought a judicial determination before the High Court of Aust.

“It is a serious contempt of the High Court of Aust. to seek to intimidate a person to undermine the judicial process.”
All citizens, regardless of the issue, had the right to access the courts in Australia.

“These undeniable rights are set out in the Australian Constitution and declaration of human rights by the United Nations,’’
