The politician leading an Australia MAGA movement

Mining billionaire Clive Palmer recently announced he’s launching a new Donald Trump-inspired political party. Palmer says his ‘Trumpet of Patriots’ party will seek to “make Australia great again”. It comes after Palmer lost a High Court bid to re-register his United Australia Party ahead of the next election. Today, we’ll unpack Clive Palmer’s presence in the Australian political landscape, from what happened to United Australia, to the policy proposal of his new party, the role of minor parties in Federal Parliament and political advertising.
