[QUOTE]Businessman Clive Palmer today hit out at claims he has overstated his wealth and qualifications, and threatened to sue Rupert Murdoch while claiming the media magnate's wife is a Chinese spy.

During an extraordinary round of breakfast television interviews, Mr Palmer threatened to sue Mr Murdoch over an opinion piece published today which questions his claims to being a billionaire, a mining magnate and a university professor, and says he paid to use titles including "president of the World Economic Forum" via large donations.

The article in The Australian newspaper, titled 'Why we need to worry about the real Clive Palmer', goes on to ask whether, given his record as a failed businessman, Australian voters should enable him to achieve "great political power".

According to latest polls, Mr Palmer's Palmer United Party (PUP) is on track to win the sixth Queensland Senate seat on Saturday.

Mr Palmer accused Mr Murdoch of telling his reporters what to write, likening the author of The Australian's article, award-winning investigative reporter Hedley Thomas, to "Black Caviar with a broken leg" and an apparatchik of News Corp.

"Murdoch will be sued by me today and will be brought to Australia to answer these questions in the Supreme Court," he told the Seven Network's Sunrise program.

"It's time this fellow was brought to account, this foreigner who tries to dictate what we do."[/QUOTE]

Clive Palmer better shut his fucking mouth before Murdoch highers someone to kill the guy.

It's disgusting how much media power the Murdoch family has but I'd very much like for someone more of sound mind to deal with it than Clive Palmer. He's pretty crazy.

Murdoch holds a great power over Australian newspapers and influence in TV that it's crazy
