Former federal politician Clive Palmer has accused federal MP’s of plotting his downfall, claiming the government pursued a “coordinated, targeted campaign” against him from July 2015.

The claims follow Palmer’s refusal to sell a piece of land on the Gold Coast to a church, which member for Fadden, Stuart Robert, asked him several times to do so.  

With details of the allegations contained in Supreme Court documents lodged as part of a civil claim, Mr Roberts‘ spokesperson has stated the claims are ridiculous and does not believe they warrant a response.
