Mr Palmer says he anticipates it will spend about $70 million in total. That would be lower than the estimated $89 million his party spent in 2019, even though he has previously said he would make this the highest-spending campaign ever. Asked whether he would consider not winning any seats again a failure, Mr Palmer - who is running in the Senate himself - said, “No, not necessarily.”Clive Palmer starts his National Press Club address by apologising for cancelling at the last minute earlier in the year, because he caught COVID-19. He spruiks a treatment medicine that he was able to use in a trial program to help him recover.
Asked just now about preferences, he says that in the Senate, people only have to number six squares and “in none of those squares will be Liberal, Labor or the Greens”. Ian Rintoul, from the Refugee Action Coalition, said he expected the refugees and asylum seekers to receive temporary bridging visas to live freely in the community.
The videos and reporting from the town have sparked global revulsion and calls for tougher sanctions on Russia, which has vehemently denied responsibility. The General Assembly voted 140-5 with 38 abstentions on March 24 on a resolution blaming Russia for the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and urging an immediate ceasefire and protection for millions of civilians and the homes, schools and hospitals critical to their survival.Supporters of the resolution are optimistic about its approval, though not necessarily with the support of 140 countries.
As reported earlier today, Mr Morrison reversed that decision after a chorus of criticism from the insurance lobby, local governments and Brisbane’s Liberal National Party-aligned lord mayor.“We don’t want to play politics,” the PM told radio station 4BC after Queensland’s acting premier Cameron Dick labelled the decision an “election-eve insult” to flood victims three weeks after the proposal was put to the Commonwealth.
“Should Anthony Albanese become prime minister, we’ll get onto this project as soon as possible,” she said. Staying with the Prime Minister for a moment, and Scott Morrison has refused to say whether the election will be called tomorrow or over the weekend. You’ve seen me, you’ve seen what we’ve done. You’ve seen how we’ve saved 40,000 lives. Got 2 million people into work. You’ve seen how we’ve ensured Australia could come through this pandemic strongly compared to countries all around the world.
