expensive TV commercials?

January 07, 2009 11:00pm
THE teenage son of Queensland's richest man Clive Palmer, and so-called ''sugar daddy" of the LNP, has won pre-selection at the next state election.
The billionaire iron ore magnate's 18-year-old son Michael will contest the seat of Nudgee on Brisbane's northside.
His
rise at the age of only 18 comes after the Bligh Government has
furiously attacked his father over the past year for allegedly "buying"
the new party.
LNP headquarters has refused to deny receipt of
donations from Mr Palmer ahead of compulsory disclosures in coming
months but confirmed the party had used his helicopter and luxury DC-9
jet.
Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg yesterday denied the
teenager had been given preferential treatment because of his dad's
generosity.
"I'm not going to count him out because he is Clive's son," he said.
"This is the politics of envy and personal character assassination from Labor."
However,
acting Premier Paul Lucas said the growing influence of Clive Palmer
was "disturbing" and a reminder of the old Nationals under former
premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
"The disturbing development is
how one figure such as Mr Clive Palmer seemingly comes to dominate a
party, from running and bankrolling conferences to supplying DC-9s," he
said.
"A DC-9 is a commercial passenger jet!"
Michael
Palmer was unavailable to comment yesterday but LNP state director
Michael O'Dwyer said that the youngster won the seat uncontested
through a normal selection process.
The novice will battle Emergency Services Minister Neil Roberts, who holds the Nudgee seat by a margin of 18 per cent.##
He
is involved in his father's new A-League soccer club on the Gold Coast
but also dabbled in politics as an intern for revered US Senator Ted Kennedy during last year's election.
Mr O'Dwyer yesterday confirmed the party had used the jet and a helicopter but would not say how often.
He also refused to say whether or not Clive Palmer had donated any cash to the LNP.
No
larger donations have emerged under a new rule requiring donors of
$100,000 or more to declare themselves within 14 days but other,
smaller donations may surface under new half-yearly disclosures soon.
"They are not details I am willing to divulge," Mr O'Dwyer said.
"Clive has a back seat in all this."
Mr
Springborg insisted there was nothing wrong with using the chopper
about 10 times to travel between Brisbane and his Darling Downs
property.
However, the Palmer connection has now claimed one
scalp, with Mr Springborg admitting he had scrapped plans to use the
jet during the election campaign because of Labor's focus on it.
"It would have saved the taxpayers money but I don't want the campaign being hijacked," he said.----EOQ
