More so that they couldn't find their way to poor old Clive's.

I was just making the point that Clive employs trade and non trades and has multiple businesses. I had dealings with BS when he was the AWU majordomo so likely Clive did too. My experience was that few (none) exchanges were pleasant. I did not push any boundaries. Others did and their experiences were less wondrous. Just extrapolating. Could be wildly wrong. They may be golfing buddies. Or drinking buddies or share the same interests in origami.
Clive is on the money with his conspiracy theories. Or is it drugs? I get them mixed up. No, definately drugs.

Is this a recoil reaction to try and swing seats back to Labor in the next state election ?

Probably... State labor is not all that long out from an election and will be feeling very outnumbered at this point. I still reckon they'd be nuts to approve it - but common sense has been in short supply in politics.Is this a recoil reaction to try and swing seats back to Labor in the next state election ?

It's just a media blame game, no doubt it contributed but it's not solely and mostly to blame for the fierce defeat, just go over to any investment site and see the outcry of touching peoples investments.

Not saying it is. As you say, plenty of personal greed came in to it as well. The fact that the LNP managed to characterise is as taking money instead of withholding handouts was splendid work by them... Killing off franking credits should be an LNP policy - arent they meant to be all about making your own way in life?
But most of the reasons I've seen for not voting labor have been "whats mine is mine and that includes the middle class welfare" and "he looks funny" and "dont want my car taxed". It paints a poor picture of the country's ability to think as a society, and its ability to think (or at least critically think)...
We sure as hell wont see anyone taking to an election the idea of everyone giving up a bit personally for the greater good ever again...

He thinks just fine. And I wouldn't call it conspiracy, it was just a business deal - a pretty obvious one really, I didn't think it was a secret!
Dude, Clive is part of the Liberal establishment, was on their payroll for many years and was part of their strategy team.
You don’t think that one of the country’s richest men is a deep thinker?!
Show the evidence!
Anna wanted the Feds to can the mine so she could say it wasn't her govt. The feds, despite what the media will have you believe, have a process and they followed it. The discretionary part is up to the state. Approve it or not Anna has problems. I would like it canned because it impa ts on family. I would like no more mines developed because they arent needed. I doubt the trillions of jobs will occur out of these mines. However, like the power stations in the latrine valley something has to be done to ensure those working in those areas can transition to meaningful employment. Unlikely that such employment will earn them the current $. That is another issue.
I think he is describing three of us.
Clive wanted a safe seat here and a road to leader with the lnp. That was denied him and he took his bat and ball and skulked away. Look at his changed stance on the Chinese. I was at a lunch where he was guest speaker. It was an hour of how wonderful the Chinese are and how fabulous his childhood was. Then Rupert's wife was a spy for the triad and on and on. They refused his claims, they wanted tbeir money back, they own the universe. Some of that was targeted against whoever he could. Clive would do much better if he honoured his agreement to pick up the taab for QNI worker's entitlements as I understand was in the purchase deal for the place. Address his outstanding writs. Then maybe people will take him a little more seriosuly.

Clive just told us what he was doing. He is in the business of digging up coal, he made a preference deal with the LNP who have policies that would in his assessment be better for that. Thats a business deal isnt it?

I worked (very peripherally) on employment transition strategies for the Latrobe Valley following exits of existing energy industries over 10 years ago... No one could get it across the line and politicians kept baulking. Its not a new idea and wasn't I thought too much like communism...

I mean it's hard to give Clive all the credit...
Ah so it is no different, or even less likely than the payback for unions with a labor govt. Fair enough.
