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.''
Solved! Go to Solution.

I don't know why so much hatred for Clive from the conservatives, he is very wealthy after all and isn't that something they admire above all else.....
Clive quote for today:
Palmer United Party leader Clive Palmer says he would consider voting for a waiting period for young people to qualify for the dole, but only if it is no longer than 60 seconds.
In comments that further cruel the Coalition’s chances of negotiating support for its plan to make people under 30 wait for six months for unemployment benefits, Mr Palmer said his party would support a waiting period of ''one minute but that’s about it''.
''How long is an MP prepared to wait for their salary?'' he asked, adding that the government should bring on a Senate vote on the policy so PUP could ''knock it over''.

Lamb is less scary than bishop, abbott, hockey, abetz, andrews, corman, hunt, cash, morisson, pine.......but probably even on the intelligence index.
and I do remember some posters on here expressing their own anti Chinese sentiments, yet when Clive does it they protest.

I wonder how much this journalist got paid to write this ........
What Palmer has said publicly and bravely AND truthfully is exactly what every business man dealing with the Chinese would be mumbling on the plane to each other on their trip back to Australia.....and also what any proud Australian who values their land, minerals and children's future, would be thinking if not voicing.
I do not for one minute think that Mr Palmer is rascist nor anti-Chinese for that matter. He is just voicing what he thinks of their business and aquisition acumen IMO.
Australians should realise that Australia is the laughing stock of Asia.
I would think that Mr Palmer would hold much more respect and credence than Abbott in China and throughout Asia because of his ...........
* a Big word going to be used now..........HONESTY !

Great post Paints!
Personally I think the Chinese would have much for respect for Clive than they would for our esteemed PM who has never heard of the word HONESTY

Lets not kid ourselves that Clive Palmer has any regard for 'truth,justice and the Australian way'. The ONLY reason for his outburst on Q & A was anger over his business dispute with Citic Pacific.
