This campaigner should be in jail. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-...ly-$290k-just-2-weeks-before-sackings/7093096
Sends another business broke, hundreds onto welfare all the while syphoning millions into his political pocket. I bet he's pissed that up against a wall too. Grub.
This represents the kind of thing that I just don't get with people, especially in QLD. They love and put their faith into a guy like this because he's some kind of maverick who's going to 'shake things up' or something. He gets proven to be a self-interested jerk and people lose interest but then when the next jerk comes along they'll still follow them. Meanwhile, decent people who understand and respect processes etc but are also different like good quality independents or minor party candidates get no love whatsoever. As a society we shoot ourselves in the foot.
I had a chat to a PUP person who handed out flyers outside a school at the last election. She had no interest in politics or government, she was a uni student getting $20 an hour to stand and hand out flyers for 8 hours that day and she was one person at one electoral booth. Palmer's business's must have paid out millions just to get him elected. His employees have ultimately paid the price.
