If a government 'can do this to Clive Palmer, it can do it to anyone'

Sky News host Alan Jones says the Labor government in Western Australia has “embarked on what could only be described as the single most extraordinary abuse of power in Australian history”.

“That’s not an exaggeration,” Mr Jones said.

“A Bill that aims to steal money from Clive Palmer".

Mr Jones said the fact is the Liberal opposition in Western Australia supported this legislation.

The West Australian government has introduced emergency legislation into the state parliament after Clive Palmer claimed damages which could amount to $30 billion.

The government and Mr Palmer had been in arbitration over mining disputes relating to the Balmoral South iron ore project dating back to 2012.

“If a government can do this to Clive Palmer, they can do it to anyone." Mr Jones said.

“If the WA government can do it, so can any government".

Mr Jones spoke with billionaire Clive Palmer about the matter.

“We need to talk about our country, what it stands for, and the rule of law,” Mr Palmer said.
