Has Clive Palmer gone mad?

Rupert Murdoch’s wife a spy: Palmer

While hitting the breakfast television circuit on Thursday, Mr Palmer also made accusations on the Nine Network’s Today show about Mr Murdoch’s estranged wife Wendi Deng.

‘‘You know, Rupert Murdoch’s wife Wendi Deng is a Chinese spy, and that’s been right across the world,’’ Mr Palmer alleged.

‘‘She’s been spying on Rupert for years, giving money back to Chinese intelligence. Read the truth about it.

‘‘She was trained in southern China. I’m telling you the truth, I’m telling you the truth.’’

A stunned Today host Karl Stefanovic interrupted Mr Palmer, questioning whether he had ‘‘lost the plot’’.

But Mr Palmer continued: ‘‘Wendy Deng is a Chinese spy, that’s why Rupert Murdoch got rid of her, and that’s the truth.

What surprised me is that her father was listed as a factory worker, yet the family were able to send her to medical school, which she later abandoned to go to the US.

Maybe that is because as in all communist countries education used to be totally free and students were selected purely on merit.  In China in 1985, the government abolished tax-funded higher education, requiring university applicants to compete for scholarships based on academic ability.  Not sure how old is she, but in whichever case she did not need rich daddy to study medicine.

I don't know about her being a spy but i did hear a rumour that she had an affair with Tony Blair, that was mostly kept out of the press though

So?   The only way my children were able to go to university was because it was free.  (Thanks Gough)

Why does it matter? It is simply wonderful that he is getting the message out there that Murdoch should not be deciding the election for us. I voted this morning and his representative was last on the list, he doesn't need my vote there are plenty of others out there that will vote for his party, good on him I reckon.

He says all that then says he is directing his preferences to LNP anyway. 

Maybe he's just after the limelight and the cash back after the election for getting his 4+%

Obviously Clive has never been said no to and he oviously can’t say no either. A very nasty bully and buffoon.
