Palmer hints CIA claims a poll distraction ploy
Clive Palmer has hinted that his claims the green movement was linked to the CIA were a ploy to keep negative attention away from now-Premier Campbell Newman in the lead up to the Queensland poll.
Mr Palmer suggested critics of coal expansion in Queensland have been bankrolled by the CIA in a bid to promote American interests.
He now says he would not repeat the claims, but that he does not regret making the statement.
"Without you (media), without Julia Gillard, without the Treasurer, without the Greens raising these things in the Senate, who knows where the attention might have been in the last weeks coming up to the election," he said.
"So it's wonderful that all of you could play a small role in having Campbell Newman elected as Premier of Queensland.
"So well done, you all deserve a round of applause."
Crown land is state land and has been since federation. Surprised people don't know that.
Only crown land the Feds own is in NT and ACT and a few other pockets here and there.
States have always said that they have their own individual crowns. Australia of course is a constitutional monarchy under the headships of Elizabeth II and there is only one crown.
So there's an argument to be made that any crown rights in minerals anywhere in Australia belongs to the Crown of Australia, which of course is the Commonwealth of Australia.
And in fact one could argue that there is no such thing as a crown of a state because the state, as defined in covering clause to the constitution, the only definition given to a state that it is a part of the Commonwealth.
So it is the Commonwealth crown, there's an argument to be made that has the right to all and any royalties in any event. Mind you this argument has never been made before and who knows how far it might go.
He is having a troll
Agreed.As for the land grab, the Federal parliament can grab whatever they like under "just terms".
I also welcome Clive Palmers right challenge in the High Court. Most of the rest of us can't afford it.
State crowns are referred to as "the crown in right of XXXX", in order to rubber stamp the sovereignty of a particular state. However, these "crowns" all come under the crown of Australia.

Drew Hutton has a very strong case for defamation against Palmer and now he has every reason to follow through with it. Not that it would worry him in the snse that it would be but a blip on his wealth radar.
He doesn't have a case of slander.
It requires that publication (whether it comprises written or spoken words or other matter, such as an illustration) is defamatory if it conveys an imputation about a person that lowers the person’s reputation in the eyes of reasonable members of the community or causes them to ridicule, avoid or despise the person.
No reasonable member of the community believed that Hutton was a tool of the CIA.
so he has now come out and stated he said those claims to take pressure away from the lnp
this man is a threat to democracy. just because he has squillions of dollars it should not mean he should be able to voice just s*** to influence an agenda.
watch him do the same for abbott next election
I don't think that's correct.
I think they would stand side by side in matters of precedence. I don't think the colonies would have had the intention to give away what was essentially their landholdings at the time of Federation.
Looking forward to seeing Jabba bust out the oxygen mask and walker again

Clive Palmer's Titanic II cruise ship now set for 2022 launch date
he six-year saga of the Titanic II continues. Clive Palmer, the Australian mining tycoon and politician behind the project, has controversially announced that the European headquarters of his Blue Star Line cruise company will be based in Paris as of 2019, rather than London as originally planned – with the blame rested at the feet of Brexit.
"It is of little use having a European headquarters outside Europe," Mr Palmer said in a statement in Brisbane on Monday. "The decision will mean we won't open our European office until March 2019", he continued, "with Paris being ideally placed to suit the company's needs".
News of Mr Palmer's plan to build Titanic II first surfaced back in 2012. At the time of the initial announcement, the billionaire's escapades were prolific in the Australian national press and no one took the revelation particularly seriously. Especially given the rather rambling and mildly comical nature of the announcement.
"It will be a ship of peace," he said at the time. "We will complete the journey. We will sail into New York. On the ship that they designed. That they envisaged.
