Billionaire, premier to learn their fates in defamation verdict | hamishhastie
West Australian Premier Mark McGowan and billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer will on Tuesday find out who defamed who during a high-profile spat that raged in the thick of the coronavirus pandemic.
Palmer gave extraordinary testimony during his cross-examination that he thought the “anti-Palmer” legislation gave McGowan a James Bond-style “licence to kill”, and led him to fear for his life.
