A spokesperson for the billionaire declined to comment why these applications were made as Pauline Hanson’s One Nation denies there will be a merger.
Billionaire Clive Palmer has applied to trademark the phrases “teal” and “Clive and Pauline Party”, sparking condemnation from independent MPs.
The bill continues to be negotiated over the summer as an agreement between the major parties could not be achieved in the last parliamentary sitting period of 2024. Teal independents such as Kooyong MP Monique Ryan were not aware of Palmer’s applications until contacted by this masthead.“I would have thought Clive Palmer would have a full dance card in 2025 re-registering his own party, fighting fraud charges and rebuilding the Titanic,” she said.Monique Ryan said she did not know Clive Palmer was trying to trademark “teal”.
Independent member for Wentworth Allegra Spender also questioned the legitimacy of Palmer’s application: “antics like this are exactly why people are fed up with politics as usual”.
