I loved the Palmer ad which railed against the Chinese having control of an airfield in the Pilbara in WA. SMH ran a story revealing that it was Palmer himself who brokered the deal that secured the iron ore mine for the Chinese company, Sino Iron, and Sino Iron pays Palmer a million dollars a day for services rendered. It also revealed that every WA mine has an airfield so it can bring in FIFO workers. I can hardly see any successful UAP candidates trying to unpick that deal. Was that ad like a back bowl in lawn bowls: by attacking that company, Palmer would blunt any attacks on himself over his business dealings with the Chinese.
