Paperback. Guy Rundle on Clive Palmer and the Palmer United Party. Clive Palmer is the wildcard of Australian politics. Since the last election, when this eccentric mining magnate narrowly won a seat in the House of Representatives ?Äì and his Palmer United Party gained two Senate spots ?Äì he has become the lightning rod for discontentment with major-party politics. In this dazzlingly intelligent and entertaining essay, Guy Rundle observes Palmer close up, examining his rise to prominence, the role of money in politics, the roots of populism in Australian politics, the new media environment and much more. Rundle analyses the ripples from the big rock Palmer has thrown in the Canberra pond. As Palmer negotiates with the Abbott government and rallies his forces, the question remains: how far can he go?
