  • SS Titanic Politics

    All I am hearing is The Rolling Stones "One Hit To The Body".......but more like "One Too Many Hits To The Head".

    Really, Lazzo?

    What are you thinking????

    THE bone-crusher rugby league international nicknamed The Brick With Eyes, Glenn Lazarus, will head billionaire Clive Palmer's bid to tackle the Senate.
    Mr Lazarus will head the Palmer United Party (PUP) ticket in Queensland at the September 14 election.

    The 47-year-old won premierships with Canberra, Brisbane and the Melbourne Storm and played 22 State of Origin matches for NSW and 21 Tests for Australia, usually playing prop.

    Mr Palmer has chosen another sporting figure to stand for PUP. This is despite Mr Palmer yesterday calling fort greater economic wisdom in Parliament.

    Third place on the ticket will go to Scott Higgins, a former A-League goalkeeper and coach who has played professionally in Australia, Europe and the Middle East.

    Second place has gone to lawyer Harry Fong.

    "Glenn Lazarus leads a powerful team for the Palmer United Party in Queensland that will certainly take some stopping at the September election," Professor Palmer said, exploiting the sporting metaphors keenly.

    The PUP was only announced this week after the original name, the United Australia Party, was considered so close to the existing Uniting Australia Party it would cause ballot paper confusion.

    Mr Palmer himself will stand for the Sunshine Coast seat of Fairfax in Queensland.

    just what the coiuntry needs, more greedy conservative politicians with no effing idea or compassion for the people of our country, lazarus is a known lover of murdoch from his sewer league days so he'll be right?

      Steve.
      I have no problem with anyone running for political office, no matter what side.....the problem here is aligning himself with one of the biggest dunderheads of all time.
      Seriously, I know people that have/still work for Clive & everyone of them, without exception, reckon the guy is a deadset nutcase/megalomaniac.

      It would actually be funny if Mr Palmer achieved his aim & claimed a seat. He has no idea & would be quickly out of his depth...soon to sink in the murk...probably alongside his new rubber ducky, the SS Titanic II.

              'Why should people vote for Mal Meninga?'
              'Mate...no, forget it, I'm buggered."

              If Glenn Lazarus makes it into parliament then Chris Pyne won't be the thickest person in there anymore.

                  I think we can just about say that the P.U.P. won't be around soon. Clive Palmer will see Prime Minister Abbott take charge and come back to the fold.
