Clive Palmer calls for clerk of Senate Rosemary Laing to resign

 

Billionaire politician Clive Palmer has called for the clerk of the Senate to resign unless she is able to maintain impartiality, following a staff email she wrote implying Mr Palmer was a bully.

 

A leaked internal email sent to Senate staff on Thursday, and obtained by Fairfax Media, reveals clerk of the Senate Rosemary Laing warned staff not to tolerate ''unacceptable behaviour'' and made reference to the ''conduct of a member of the House of Representatives''.

 

While the email does not directly name the MP, it was widely reported two weeks ago that there was an altercation between Dr Laing and Mr Palmer, the member for Fairfax, over amendments to the carbon tax repeal bill.

 

Mr Palmer, leader of the Palmer United Party, was annoyed that the clerk would not distribute amendments put up by one of his senators, Glenn Lazarus.

 

The clerk argued that the amendments were effectively a monetary bill and constitutionally could not originate in the Senate.

 

In her staff bulletin issued on Thursday, Dr Laing warned against what she described as workplace bullying.

 

''You all have the right to a safe workplace and that includes the right to step away from - and report - bullies, whatever their status,'' she wrote. ''None of you need have any contact with the member in question if you feel at all threatened or intimidated by him.''

 

Mr Palmer told Fairfax Media he did not raise his voice during the exchange and said he told the clerk: ''If you do not circulate this amendment by Senator Lazarus I will challenge [your] position in the High Court.''

 

But on Thursday Mr Palmer took that position further. ''Australian democracy is far more important than this issue. The clerk is supposed to be impartial; if she is not up to the job, resign,'' he said.

 

Fairfax Media approached Dr Laing's office for comment, but was told she is on leave. The deputy clerk of the Senate refused to comment on the matter.

 

In the email, Dr Laing also took a swipe at the behaviour of the press gallery over the past two weeks of Parliament, describing reports of the carbon tax repeal negotiations as ''unethical''.

 

''In all of my years here, I do not believe I have seen anything so unethical from the press as this … [including a] disgraceful episode of press gallery members eavesdropping on private negotiations in the corridors over the carbon tax repeal legislation and writing stories on that basis,'' she wrote.

 

Last week all the major parties and the crossbench in the Senate - except for the PUP and Motoring Enthusiast senator Ricky Muir - spoke in praise of the clerk.

 

President of the Senate Stephen Parry said: ''I have full confidence in the clerk of the Senate and her officers. All Senate staff serve the Senate in an entirely professional and impartial way and I reject any claims to the contrary.''

Re: Clive Palmer thread

"Buffoon" is a word that comes to mind whenever I hear of Clive Palmer.

 

Clive Palmer has been accused of "dishonest and fraudulent" involvement in the misappropriation of more than $12 million as his estranged business partner moves to tighten the noose on the mining magnate turned politician.

 

From Here

 

They should throw him in gaol like they did Pauline Hanson.

Will they be allowed to let him out again if he is found not guilty?

 

I agree the man is a buffoon, and I have often said on these bards that I suspect he is playing with money he doesn't really have and that his "empire" will eventually come cashing down around him: but putting him in gaol on suspicion that has not yet been proved in court would set a very dangerous precedent.

She-el, I'm talking about if they find him guilty.

 

Did they find Pauline Hanson guilty?

That is what I used to think; actually I thought he was a harmless buffoon, but I am not so sure anymore.  At least I have doubts about the "harmless".

Of course they did - how could she have been sent to gaol otherwise? The verdict was overturned on appeal.

Of course.

 

Why would you think they would throw Clive Palmer into gaol without finding him guilty?

Shame we cannot throw Joe Hockey into gaol for being an incompetent unqualified (no degree in economics) Treasurer and throw Tony Abbott in gaol for.......... a litany of unspeakable crimes.
