Podcast appearances and mentions of palmer united party

This week the boys dive into Historical Rich People! Daniel Covers Gray Dahl, creator of The Pet Rock. The Pet Rock created in the 1970s, Dahl came up with the idea in 1975 as a humorous novelty gift. He marketed the rocks as pets that required no care, feeding, or walking, appealing to busy individuals who wanted the companionship of a pet without the responsibilities.Dahl packaged the rocks in cardboard boxes designed to resemble pet carriers, complete with air holes and a straw bed. The concept quickly gained popularity, leading to millions of Pet Rocks being sold during the craze!While Tristan Covers Clive Palmer, an Australian businessman and politician known for his involvement in various industries, including mining, real estate, and tourism. He is the founder of the Palmer United Party and has been a member of the Australian House of Representatives. Palmer is notable for his controversial statements and larger-than-life personality, as well as his ambitious projects, such as plans to build a replica of the Titanic. His business ventures and political activities have garnered significant media attention over the years.If you liked the episode we do two WEEKLY bonus episodes on our PATREON!  / themodernapes  And make sure to follow the boys on socials!⬇️⬇️Daniel Bridge-Gadd

Clive Frederick Palmer (born 26 March 1954) is an Australian businessman and politician. He has iron ore, nickel and coal holdings. Palmer owns many businesses such as Mineralogy, Waratah Coal, Queensland Nickel at Townsville, the Palmer Coolum Resort on the Sunshine Coast, Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course at Port Douglas, Palmer Colonial Golf Course at Robina, and the Palmer Gold Coast Golf Course, also at Robina. He owned Gold Coast United FC from 2008 to 2012. Palmer created the Palmer United Party in April 2013, winning the Sunshine Coast seat of Fairfax in the 2013 Australian federal election and sitting as an MP for one term. In 2018, after formally deregistering the party on 5 May 2017, Palmer revived his party as the United Australian Party, announcing that he would be running candidates for all 151 seats in the House of Representatives and later that he would run as a Queensland candidate for the Senate in the 2019 federal election, despite extensive advertising, he and his party won no seats. His party later contested the 2022 federal election, and won one seat in the Senate. The party was formally deregistered again in September 2022. Palmer has frequently been involved in legal cases relating to his businesses, and once listed litigation as one of his hobbies in Who's Who. He at times has been involved in complex cases, and journalist Hedley Thomas has written that Palmer's "lawyers take legal steps, presumably on his instructions, that prolong litigation and rack up costs for the other side" which can result in his opponents being unable to continue their case due to a lack of resources. Palmer has argued that the litigation he is involved in is justified as it rights wrongs. Palmer also attempted to use litigation as a gag order against his workers in his now defunct Queensland Nickel refinery, promising to pay the money he owed them only if they agreed not to make any disparaging comments about him. As of May 2023, Palmer was the fifth richest Australian, when The Australian Financial Review assessed his net worth at A$23.66 billion on the 2023 Rich List.

It's been almost a decade since Jacqui Lambie dramatically quit the Palmer United Party.   Since then, she's become a political force in Canberra and in her home state of Tasmania as the leader of the Jacqui Lambie Network.  At the last federal election, Lambie's longtime staffer Tammy Tyrrell won a senate spot – and at the last Tasmanian election, just a few months ago, the party won three seats. But now, the JLN is imploding, after Tyrrell resigned and two of the three Tasmanian MPs were sacked. Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on the allegations Lambie spied on her colleagues and why she hasn't been able to hold the party together.

Yesterday's by-election was billed as a crucial mid-term test for both sides of politics. And when the results came in last night – the Albanese Government emerged as the winner. At the close of counting – Labor's primary vote remained virtually unchanged – at 41%. The Liberal vote jumped nearly 7% - but this was largely scooping up votes on the right – thanks to One Nation and the Palmer United Party deciding not to run.For the government – it's vindication of the Prime Minister's gamble to break a promise and offer everyone a tax cut.While for the Opposition – the strategy of blaming the government for everything from cost-of-living pain, the release of immigration detainees and a so-called “ute tax” weren't enough.David Speers interviews Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan about the results. Niki Savva, Paul Sakkal, and Patricia Karvelas give their analysis from the couch. Mike Bowers talks the week in pictures with Fiona Katauskas.

Known as one of the most fierce and outspoken politicians in the country, Jacqui Lambie does not hold back. Not with her opinion, her work ethic, or her convictions. And she's done the unthinkable, for a politician, she's changed her mind and admitted to it. Rising to public office with the Palmer United Party in 2013, she quickly struck out on her own in 2014 as an independent for Tasmania in the Senate. Lambie, an Aboriginal Tasmanian who served in the Australian Army, has fought hard for welfare recipients, veterans and families affected by ice addiction, speaking compellingly on these issues from personal experience. Senator Lambie is anything but predictable and has come dangerously close many times to bursting the Canberra bubble. Expect candid frankness on Australia's socio-political landscape and where Lambie sees us heading in this opening address for FODI 2022.

The Australian Electoral Commission has voiced alarm at scaremongering about potential election fraud spreading via social media. While it hasn't specified which posts triggered these concerns, Guardian Australia has reported that candidates from minor parties, such as One Nation and the United Australia party, have posted material sowing seeds about ballots potentially being erased, amended or hidden during the election.With some candidates saying they're simply giving voice to voters' concerns, political reporter Josh Butler examines what's behind these posts and what the AEC can do in response

In Bounce Back, Andrew talks to prominent Australians about major challenges that have been thrown their way, and how they've overcome these difficulties on the road to success. In this episode Dr. Rochford speaks with Jacqui Lambie. Senator Jacqui Lambie is one of the most recognisable faces in Australian politics. Her determination to 'tell it how it is' has been shaped by years of experiences, setbacks and challenges.  Senator Lambie served in the military for eleven years until 2000 where a debilitating back injury led to a medical discharge. She then struggled to raise her two boys on her own in the North-West of Tasmania. Fighting the Department of Veteran's Affairs for fair compensation while drinking heavily and addicted to prescription drugs.  After being hospitalised and spending time in a Hobart Psychiatric Ward, she deliberately walked out in front of a car. This was rock bottom but also a turning point. Fast forward to 2013 and Jacqui Lambie became Senator Lambie, elected to Parliament as a member of the Palmer United Party and fast became one of the most recognisable faces in Canberra.  In 2015 Senator Lambie struck a chord with thousands of parents across Australia when she told Parliament that her son was addicted to ice.  Since then she has resigned from Parliament, went onto Reality TV show to finance her election campaign and was re-elected to the Senate in 2019.   This series will feature some of Australia's most recognised sports men and women, prominent businesspeople and well-known politicians, allowing them to tell their story, in their own words. Bounce Back is about promoting well-being and good mental health, by showing that even in the most difficult of times, there are people who you can turn to for support - whether they're mates, family, colleagues, professionals even your neighbours. It's about how to look after yourself when things are tough, believing in yourself and knowing you can come through it even stronger.  Dr. Andrew Rochford is a proud ambassador for DrinkWise, which is sponsoring this podcast. We hope you enjoy Bounce Back.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another terrible week! Mostly overshadowed by the Water Buybacks scandal but here's what we're talking about: Palmer United Party is polling quite well. Get Up! made a pretty weird misstep in an Abbott attack ad. Rowan Dean has boycotted personal hygiene and boomers are boycotting paying for that opinion and DON'T YOU DARE think about modifying the ANZAC biscuit recipe. Also James' computer didn't record his side of the conversation so all we've got is the recording Bryce made of the Skype call. Ain't technology grand? Sounds okay though. Stick with it.  Hosted by James Colley & Nick Fischer Produced by Bryce Halliday

Sally Warhaft and Jacqui Lambie — Photo: Jon Tjhia Jacqui Lambie is hot-blooded, unpredictable and often startlingly candid. Rising to public office with the Palmer United Party in 2013, she quickly outplayed her billionaire party leader, and struck out on her own as an independent for Tasmania in the Senate. In her new memoir, Rebel with a Cause, she shares her story in detail. Hailing from north-western Tasmania, one of the most disadvantaged pockets of the country, Lambie has fought hard for welfare recipients, veterans and families affected by ice addiction, speaking compellingly on these issues from personal experience. Her views on Islam and immigration, meanwhile, have attracted controversy and censure. She was felled by last year's citizenship debacle, but you can bet we haven't heard the last of Jacqui Lambie. In the first Fifth Estate session of the year, she talks with host Sally Warhaft about outsiders, authenticity and why ‘you can't keep a bloody Lambie down'.

Senators will return to Canberra later this month with the expectation that they will give final consideration to the government's industrial legislation - unless they decide to refuse to consider it. Glenn Lazarus, a crossbencher whose approval the government may need if the bills are to have any hope of passing, tells Michelle Grattan he will not be bullied or blackmailed into giving his support. Lazarus says that when he asked Malcolm Turnbull to turn the Australian Building and Construction Commission into a national corruption watchdog for all industries, the Prime Minister gave him a blank look. The former Palmer United Party senator also says that he has become a better politician as a result of leaving the PUP and that no ministers had visited his office before his decision to walk away from the party.

Liberal Party of Australia's Federal Minister for Industry, Innovation & Science Christopher Pyne joins the show. Listen to Minister Pyne chat about his background, his Federal seat of Sturt, the "Fixer" interview, #ideasboom and the National Innovation and Science Agenda plus what he describes as "vanity parties" such as Clive Palmer and the Palmer United Party and Senator Nick Xenophon and his Nick Xenophon Team.

In part two of Stranger Choices we look at the concepts of anti-politics and depoliticisation and how they might help us understand the elections in Queensland. We examine the role law and order plays, the populism of the Palmer United Party and the contradictions, the promise and the problems of a very exceptional Greens candidate Jonathan Sri.The articles discussed in this podcast areAnti-politics: Elephant in the roomPolicing Newman’s Crisis: Law And Order, Hegemony And The State

Jacqui Lambie has stepped aside from the Palmer United Party on principle. The final straw came with her opposition to the government’s rollback on some of Labor’s Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) reforms. The original legislation had consumers opting-in every two years to ongoing financial commitments with their planners – the revision removed that, returning to the old way of not knowing how much you are paying or services you probably no longer receive.So, at long last, we can see that Jacqui Lambie is a lady of principle. She may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least she has the electorate’s interests at heart.It’s one of main stories discussed in this week’s Balls radio, including:- Would Lambie have been elected without Clive?- The FOFA reforms watered down to protect financial planners- Richard Kazimer in the USo Obama’s deportation reliefo NSA’s data retention ruleso Canada’s massive oil pipelineo Bill Cosby – not such a nice guy?- The naff Halal Vegemite debate (by stupid, racist people)- George Christensen MP’s simmering hate- Emily Thornbury MP’s image form Rochester – condescending, or spot on?- Would you buy a house next to someone with national flags flying?- David Campbell in New Zealando Getting chummy with Chinao New Kiwi banknoteso Valerie Adams, World Athlete of the Yearo Sausages saved man’s sliced finger- ABC – 400 jobs gone – but how much will we miss?- What’s the Big Idea with Brian Havertyo Wine from the cloudo New way to pay for parkingo Cocktail shaker in carso Banning sarcastic apologieso Treatment for spitters
