1. Trouble is, Clive Palmer's stand on everything keeps changing.

And true to form, Clive says his stand on marriage equality is "secret".

"CLIVE Palmer says he’ll never express his stance on gay marriage because he doesn’t want to intimidate members of his party into adopting his view. Mr Palmer also criticised Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s decision to change his position on marriage equality when the mining magnate was quizzed on gay marriage."

Not wanting to intimidate members of his party is a furphy - Jackie Lambie said she opposed repealing the carbon tax, but after a chat with Clive, she changed her stance. Looks like Clive doing his usual shilly-shallying on this as he does on everything. I think he can be bought, and I don't trust him at all, on this or any other issue.
