China labels Clive Palmer's verbal attack on Q&A 'absurd' and 'irresponsible'
The Chinese embassy in Australia has labelled Clive Palmer's stinging verbal attack on the country as "absurd" and "irresponsible". On the ABC's Q&A program on Monday night, Mr Palmer called the Chinese government "bastards" and "mongrels" and claimed they "shoot their own people". Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told Fairfax Radio she planned to tell the Chinese embassy the Australian Parliament does not share Mr Palmer's "abusive" views. "The national executive sees Mr Palmer's comments as a new low in the political debate that further highlights and is representative of the poor state of politics in Australia today," the resolution said. Palmer claimed China 'wants resources for free' When Q&A host Tony Jones asked Mr Palmer about allegations he funnelled millions of dollars out of a business bank account to fund his election campaign, the mining magnate and MP said he was "owed about $500 million by the Communist Chinese government".
