Mining billionaire and Palmer United Party founder Clive Palmer says The Australian has printed information that was stolen from his Brisbane office.

The national newspaper is reporting that Mr Palmer has warned a Chinese company that 1,000 jobs will be at at risk if it does not pay money it owes him.

Mr Palmer says a laptop was stolen in April, and his computers were hacked.

“Some of the information that was produced in some of these articles, although taken out of context, was confidential secure information, the property of the company,” he said.

“It’s a concern that it’s now got into the media hands, and all of this happened only one or two days after we announced the party. It seems to be a little bit of a coincidence.”

Mr Palmer says he is not suggesting the newspaper stole the information.

The Australian newspaper has been contacted for comment.
