I can agree with Palmer in some aspects of his diatribe.....As most Australians want the mining tax to spread the benefits around for all Australian's it would be democratic for those who exploit the nations minerals to accept the will of the people without bitching about it.....The minerals belong to all Australians not just the few billionaires who are gouging out our country for their own benefit and little return to the Australian people.....Using part of this wealth for the prosperity of the nation is a good idea and supported by the majority Clive so practice what you preach and stop standing in the way of democracy fat so!!!
