So, Government has given the new Management Company the necessary environmental approval.  That gives Clive a couple of hours to state whether the new Company (which he owns) will employ all, some or none of the 550 odd employees of the now sacked former management company.

HUNDREDS of his workers have been sacked and his companies are collapsing — but Clive Palmer is splashing out on a new superyacht.

A week after 550 workers were retrenched from his Queensland Nickel refinery near Townsville, the Palmer family’s multimillion-dollar yacht, Maximus, has undergone repairs at a Gold Coast shipyard ahead of a sale.




Clive Palmer’s boat Maximus, moored next to his mansion on Sovereign Island, Gold Coast, where he says there isn’t room for the new one.
Yesterday, the controversial businessman and federal MP told The Courier-Mail the vessel’s sale would make way for a new one.

He said there was not enough room for two boats on his jetty at the back of his Sovereign Islands mansion on the northern Gold Coast.

“We’ve ordered a new boat, which should be delivered in about 10 weeks.


“We can’t have two of them (superyachts). There isn’t enough space (on the jetty), so we’ve got to let Maximus go. We’re making way for the new one.”

Mr Palmer said he did not know how much the new boat was costing or even who was paying for it.

funny how you get all ethical when it comes to Obeid or Palmer, but you forget your ethics when it's someone from the liberal party ... there's a whole thread on current liberal corruption and you are happy to excuse them. Why is that?
