Favorite Quotes From Clive Palmer

I have enough money in my financial life to be able to retire right now and do nothing. But I have a responsibility and an obligation to find ways to increase the number of jobs in Queensland. Queensland’s government also has an obligation, to approve projects and assess them for the benefit and enjoyment of Queenslanders.

All people matter, no matter their political views. It’s concerning that people are attacking people’s basic rights, livelihoods and dignity. I am a Queensland citizen and have every right to my opinion.
