FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda THE LNP has denied holding a secret meeting in Brisbane on Monday to discuss how best to handle Gold Coast billionaire and party donor Clive Palmer in the final weeks of the election campaign.
High-ranking LNP sources yesterday told the Bulletin the meeting involved party president Bruce McIver, leader Campbell Newman and other top party brass who discussed the potential negative impact Mr Palmer’s association with the LNP would have in the lead-up to the March 24 poll.
Mr Palmer, the party’s biggest financial contributor, has been in the news for weeks over issues including a threatened $8 billion lawsuit against QR National, the downfall of Gold Coast United and ongoing legal action with Hyatt over the management rights of his Sunshine Coast golf resort.
Sources said the group was concerned about negative headlines surrounding Mr Palmer and the unwanted focus on his party links in the lead-up to the LNP’s campaign launch in Brisbane tomorrow.
But late yesterday a party spokeswoman denied the meeting took place, instead asking if it was a case of “more Labor muckraking”.
When asked if he was concerned about Mr Palmer, Mr Newman tried to wash his hands of the billionaire.
“No, it has got nothing to do with me,” he said.
“But good luck to him in sorting out all these issues.”
Premier Anna Bligh this week took advantage of Mr Palmer’s troubles, saying “people need to be aware that if you have an LNP government in Queensland you are going to see a lot more of Clive Palmer”.
Last financial year Mr Palmer donated more than $600,000 to the LNP through two of his companies, Queensland Nickel and Mineralogy, making him the party’s biggest donor.
