Clive Palmer Is Threatening Bronwyn Bishop With A No Confidence Motion And This Terrifying Video
Bishop has finally apologised this morning (probably petrified of what Palmer would sing at her next).
We’ve now endured nearly three weeks of headlines, reports and memes over Bronwyn Bishop’s various taxpayer-funded jaunts around rural Victoria/the world, and Clive Palmer has officially gone full Clive Palmer.
Leaning back on his much-loved pastime of shit-talking the government, he’s now joined with Independent MP Andrew Wilkie to move a no confidence motion if the Speaker doesn’t resign by the time Parliament is resumed next month. In a statement released yesterday afternoon, Palmer called for Bishop to “do the honourable thing and resign, and Wilkie agreed. “This is another example of disgusting behaviour by our politicians with an inflated view of their own importance and no respect for the office,” he said.
Then, just a few short hours later, Palmer followed up that totally valid argument for logic, restraint and reason with this:
Neither I, nor any sane person in this strange land of ours, can provide any real explanation about what exactly that was, but I do know that it’s something he’s done before:
Though his demands haven’t been entirely met with Bishop still continuing to refuse her resignation, this morning she finally apologised for what’s now become #Choppergate while speaking to Alan Jones on 2GB. “I want to apologise to the Australian people for my error of judgment and to say sorry,” she said. “I feel I’ve let them down.”
Is it related? Almost definitely not. But if I were her, I’d say whatever I could to make this madness stop.
“Twittley-twoo!”
