there’s something almost melancholic at the core of andrew burrell’s twiggy : the high - stakes life of andrew forrest , as the author tries to reconcile his admiration for forrest’s brio with his discomfort at the man’s ruthlessness . forrest refused to speak with burrell , who writes in his author’s note , “forrest’s cooperation would have led to a different book , but not necessarily a better or more reliable one . ” burrell tracked down and interviewed many people who “provided sharper insights into his past than forrest might have been prepared to do himself” . burrell adds that he felt a duty to be fair and present forrest’s side of the story “wherever possible” , which he lives up to .

back in their hotel rooms , more than one conference delegate likely googles his host : who is this clive palmer ? but you can also just turn on your room’s television for a sense of his cultural and business enthusiasms . one channel has james cameron’s film titanic on a loop , while another plays historic footage of the ship’s staterooms . yet another channel is devoted to palmer’s nickel business : “nickel has many remarkable qualities . ” finally , there’s a selection of interviews palmer has given , such as this one with 60 minutes ’ hard - hitting charles wooley :
' the ignorant people will walk around spurting - out lines from the movie , or will walk by shouting
run forrest , run .
come 1 july , his palmer united party senators will be part of the group that holds the balance of power in the upper house .
in 1991 , forrest married the quiet , religious nicola maurice at her family farm . ( mrs forrest’s parents were leading members in the australian league of rights , a notorious far - right organisation that has been accused of anti - semitism . ) three children and some very public business hits and misses later , forrest made two key realisations : china was “awakening” , and bhp and rio tinto were doing no new exploration in the pilbara .
swan was set upon for promoting class warfare – a charge that rests on a peculiar definition of both “class” and “warfare” . if anything , palmer and company are more influential today . rinehart’s pet politician , barnaby joyce , is now on the front bench . forrest has been charged by prime minister tony abbott to wean indigenous people off welfare . in the 2013 federal election , clive palmer won the seat of fairfax in the house of representatives , and come 1 july , his palmer united party senators will be part of the group that holds the balance of power in the upper house .

drafting watson would provide insurance in multiple ways . if palmer plays well , the clemson star can take a year to develop and be ready to step in for the 2018 campaign . if palmer falters , the team could turn to the rookie sooner and hope he provides a spark to the offense .
' i also had a kind of a quirky personality as a kid and tom took on some of my mannerisms and incorporated them into forrest ' s character .
palmer is less than a month from winning federal approval for his galilee railway and reef - side port , which will reconfigure the state of queensland , add billions to his portfolio , and – let’s just speculate – perhaps make him more amenable to supporting prime minister abbott’s legislative agenda . if this was abbott’s bet , palmer’s much - lampooned move into politics could not have been more brilliantly timed . the palmer united party’s $ 10 million election budget already looks like small change .
two decades ago the movie forrest gump was the toast of the oscars – winning six academy awards including best actor for tom hanks and best director for robert zemeckis .

tom took on some of my mannerisms and incorporated them into forrest ' s character . i remember tom would watch me and try to pick up some of my habits . i guess some of them were a little strange and they ended up adjusting the character so that the adult forrest gump was a lot like how i was as a child . '
one imagines the yindjibarndi would have been less than thrilled to hear that forrest would head the abbott government’s review into aboriginal employment and training programs . a political career has long beckoned , writes burrell : “he is close to tony abbott [ as he had been to both john howard and kevin rudd ] and the two men have chatted informally about forrest’s interest in joining the liberal party and entering federal parliament . ” others think he’d prefer to emulate his great - great - uncle , sir john forrest , and become the premier of wa .
palmer’s “unusual sales techniques” included “running down to the diagonal end of an acreage block to lean against the old farm fence and yell back at the potential customers” so as to make the block appear larger . he duly made a small fortune , married sue , and in 1984 tried for federal preselection as a national party candidate . he lost to peter slipper ( who later switched to the liberal party before ending up as an independent ) . the consolation prize seems to have been becoming a national party spokesman . parnell reports that a portrait of russ hinze , the “minister for everything” and a man emblematic of the bjelke - petersen era , used to hang in one of palmer’s offices . ( hinze once overturned a local council’s planning order to approve a palmer development . ) today , a photo of palmer with bjelke - petersen is prominent in the palmer resort’s foyer .
however , there’s also a history of bitter fallings - out with a wide range of former colleagues , many of which have ended up in the courts . astonishingly , burrell finds that , on various matters , four different judges have questioned forrest’s truthfulness , ethics and morality . but it’s not until we read of forrest’s dealings with indigenous communities that things get truly murky .
on 25th march 1833 , edmund kean makes his last stage performance , appearing at covent garden , where he plays othello , while his son charles kean plays iago . edmund collapses on stage during the performance .
poignant : one of the most moving scenes of the film was when forrest rescued gump and said : ' you got shot . ' bubba replied : ' i wanna go home . '
the scene saw young forrest flee a group of bullies on bikes , and fans will remember that his legs were in braces at the time , making his escape all the more courageous .
palmer had not made it to the session . i mention that i had , and ask him if our resource richness places us in a quandary when it comes to climate change .
to those concerned about the potential for conflict between palmer’s vast pecuniary interests and his newfound political clout , he claims he’s “never made any money by any favours anyone’s ever given me” .
american author charles nuetzel ( pronounced newt - zel ) was born in san francisco in 1934 . the son of artist albert nuetzel , charles has written over 70 paperback originals under many pen names . when victor berch asked me to see what i could dig up about scorpion books , i called nuetzel ' s agent , forrest j ackerman . both victor and i had heard nuetzel had died , and over 20 years have passed since his last book was published . ackerman surprised me with the news that nuetzel was alive and well and living in southern california . ackerman got me in touch with nuetzel , which led to this interview :
but mr . palmer ' s career in washington wat to be buffeted by politics and bureaucratic ri valries . first the president moved him to a new division answering to the white house . and , in 1942 , mr . roosevelt en tirely reshuffled the govern ment ' s jerry‐built housing pro gram , bringing in a new coor dinator , and dispatching mr . palmer to europe .
bark charles keen , [ john t . ] chattin , master , arrived at new york on 9 may 1854 , 26 days from antwerp , with 350 passengers ; the passenger manifest was signed and dated the following day .
in recognition of these figures’ collective might , the past 18 months have seen a rush of biographies of rinehart , forrest and palmer but also – because they can’t all be winners – nathan tinkler . i took these books with me to the sunshine coast in the hope of gleaning further insights into their subjects – further , that is , to those i was already getting at the club de madrid’s conference .
if narcissism is common among politicians , so , perhaps , is a fascination with extinction – and clive palmer , the man with a squirrel grip on the balance of power in federal parliament , doesn’t hide either trait . swing into the palmer coolum resort , on queensland’s sunshine coast , and you spy a life - size model tyrannosaurus rex looming over the golf course . then , attached to a minibus’ luggage trailer , there’s a giant campaign photo of palmer , his waist airbrushed , his two thumbs up . at check - in , above the reception desk , are the plans for his titanic replica , titanic ii , and a photo of him with arms outstretched under a mock - up of the ship’s bow . pictures of palmer with various dignitaries , or just at leisure , adorn the walls and hallways .
many business associates and managers of palmer family business interests were also named directors . the other initial officers were c . p . hoglund , sarasota , f . h . gunther , george p . howell , tampa , and r . k . thompson of sarasota . thompson was the division manager of the palmer estate and assisted in organizing the bank with former russian prince michael cantacuzene . cantacuzene , a palmer family member by marriage , was credited with organizing the bank and served as vice - president . john b . cleveland served as the bank ' s first president . previously , cleveland was employed as the manager of the palmer corporation in its tampa office . his previous banking experience was in kewanee , illinois . former american national bank cashier , iron ross , was retained as assistant cashier of the new institution .
while working for mr . roosevelt , mr . palmer was fre quently controversial . he was criticized by some for relying too heavily on private enter prise , and by others for helping to destroy private enterprise .

william charles macready is responsible for reverting productions of king lear back to shakespeare ' s original text , following 150 years of performances which favoured nahum tate ' s version , the history or king lear , which concluded the tragic ending into a happy one .
on 10th may the astor place riot breaks out at the astor opera house in new york . the civic disturbance , part of a run of similar events in the city , saw immigrants fighting against native new yorkers and both groups rising up against the upper classes . however , the dispute was originally born out of the well - known theatrical rivalry between american actor edwin forrest and british actor william charles macready , who were both convinced they were the better actor of shakespeare ' s major roles .
that a mining magnate like palmer should wish to harness australia’s future to his own wouldn’t matter so much were he not now in a position to engineer it . in mid 2010 , palmer and fellow mining entrepreneurs lent their heft to a $ 20 million advertising campaign to scuttle the rudd government’s bid to tax mining super profits on behalf of all australians – to whom technically , after all , the country’s minerals belonged . so emphatic was the billionaires’ victory that they upended rudd’s prime ministership in the process . nearly two years later , the then treasurer , wayne swan , accused the mining magnates of having become so powerful they presented a threat to australian democracy . “what characterises the vested interests that i’m concerned about is how they misrepresent their self - interest as the national interest , ” he wrote in an essay for this magazine . swan named three names in the article : gina rinehart , andrew forrest and clive palmer .
dr . charles fox gardiner ' s long life captures the essence - and often the adventure - of practicing medicine in late - nineteenth and early - twentieth century colorado , from his early days in crested butte , meeker , and the wild country surrounding them to his long tenure in colorado springs , caring for everyone from general palmer , the city ' s founder , to its poorest residents , and especially tubercular patients , who flocked to colorado seeking the
fresh air cure
he advocated .
he is survived by his widow , laura sawtell palmer ; three daughters , mrs , margaret mo ses , mrs . laura benedict and mrs . jeannette cath of ashe ville , n . c , , and eight grandchil dren .
back at the club de madrid’s conference , palmer is hosting a dinner by one of the resort’s swimming pools . the former leaders are rubbing shoulders with australian delegates , who almost invariably have a connection to palmer – be it family , business or the palmer united party . failed candidates such as joh bjelke - petersen’s son john mix with senators - elect like the former rugby league star , the so - called “brick with eyes” , glenn lazarus . another senator - to - be , ricky muir , from the australian motoring enthusiast party , had flown up the previous weekend for the opening of motorama , palmer’s vintage car exhibit ( family admission : $ 100 ) . muir is on the guest list for this show , too , but had other commitments . one can’t help but think of him , though – and of his youtube video of kangaroo poo–throwing hijinx – as the foreign guests snap photos of themselves near the resort’s stray roos .

in clive : the story of clive palmer , sean parnell assures us that “this book was never going to be a hagiography , but nor would it be a hatchet job . ” it does veer rather closer to one than the other , though . according to palmer’s nephew and employee clive mensink , his uncle is a “visionary … he needs to be listened to” . father peter quin , the priest of st ignatius catholic parish claims , “he’s a great christian , an extraordinarily generous man . ” palmer has donated liberally to the parish school . his tendency to “lash out” is brushed away by a friend as frustration at being “light years ahead of the thinking processes of a lot of the people around the table” . and analysing mr palmer’s early efforts as a poet – “man of love / is my name / man of love / will remain” – parnell concludes , “the poems point to someone with a deep sense of feeling , someone with both a social and political conscience” .

charles forrest has lived in tasmania for 70 years and there are few more passionate about the island state . now retired , he owned and ran his aquaculture company ‘barilla bay seafoods’ for over 30 years , building the business up from scratch . when he sold the business in 2010 it employed 52 people . charles , who is popularly known by his middle name of peter , has been married to his wife val for 50 years . they have three children and nine grandchildren . he says it is the mismanagement of the state’s economy that inspired him to stand for the upcoming election , having witnessed first - hand the downward spiral tasmania has suffered in recent decades . “tasmania’s financial situation is so dire it’s a wonder we aren’t bankrupt , ” he said . “ have found over my lifetime that if you can’t get something done properly by others you have to do it yourself . “palmer united has plans for denison like it has plans for the whole state . once we’re elected we will work tirelessly to develop and implement projects that create business wealth and jobs for tasmanians . “we need change here and previously there has been nobody around to provide it . anyone who wants change in this state knows they can’t vote labor , they can’t vote liberal and they can’t vote for the greens . “palmer united is a new force in tasmanian politics and it is a force for good . ”

the bottom line remains the same . arizona will need to find a new quarterback soon . taking watson now if he ' s available at no . 13 is likely a better move than waiting another year and going all - in on palmer bouncing back in 2017 .
palmer soon dropped out of his studies and worked as an interviewing officer at the public defender’s office in brisbane until , he claims , he uncovered police corruption . after receiving a threatening phone call , he fled the state along with his wife - to - be , susan parker . they bought an old paddleboat and sailed along the murray river until the coast was clear . returning to joh bjelke - petersen’s queensland , one might say palmer then took advantage of the gung - ho political climate and astutely turned his hand to real estate .
the first chapter begins , “when judy forrest discovered she was pregnant in 1961 , her first reaction was to plan for a miscarriage . ” burrell has her riding bareback and jumping off the roof before eventually delivering john andrew henry , scion of the illustrious wa pioneering family . it’s an arresting , if slightly tasteless , story , but one we’re told forrest knew about as a young child , and the pop - psychological reading is that his business drive might connect to his “subconsciously trying to prove to his mother that he deserved to be born in the first place” .
the cardinals are in a tricky spot . they would likely prefer to use this selection to bolster their roster elsewhere since starting quarterback carson palmer announced his intention to return for 2017 after considering retirement . the value on watson might be too good to pass up , though .

in the nineteen‐thirties , when government ' s role in the hous ing business was fiercely op posed by most real estate people , mr . palmer became one of the country ' s leading advo cates of federal intervention to reclaim slums and , later , to house personnel for the gath ering war effort .
forrest believes paying large royalties to indigenous groups is “mining welfare” . instead his company promotes the hiring of indigenous workers , and “every new aboriginal recruit is handed a fishing rod as a symbol of forrest’s much - repeated aphorism : give a man a fish …” yet this paternalism is also highly self - serving . other mining companies , also in need of labour , support similar employment schemes and pay equitable royalties . as burrell notes , “safeguards … have become standard in native title agreements between miners and indigenous groups , including the use of trust structures administered by professional managers and the creation of special funds that can be drawn on only by future generations” .

the movie was a global success . it depicts several decades in the life of forrest gump , a slow - witted and naive , but good - hearted and athletically prodigious , man from alabama who witnesses , and in some cases influences , some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century in the united states .
another peculiarity is palmer’s adjunct professorship at bond university’s school of sustainable development . his townsville nickel refinery has sought to dump ponds of contaminated liquid into the great barrier reef marine park . like rinehart , palmer has a galilee basin “super - mine” and has won approval to duplicate her railway through 450 kilometres of agricultural land , to another port terminal at abbot point on the great barrier reef . the china first mine will destroy much of the 8000 - hectare bimblebox nature refuge , a remnant woodland home to many endangered species . it will eventually process up to 40 million tonnes of coal a year . all this , and he might yet become the most powerful man in australian politics .

in his poetry collection from around that time , dreams , hopes and reflections , palmer claimed , “my life has been as any man’s , a search for my own identity . ” perhaps palmer has worked out who he is , but it’s unclear if anyone else has , including his biographer . parnell never gets to the heart of his subject’s incredible contradictions . palmer is a vehement anti - communist who has made his fortune doing business with china . he’s a climate change sceptic who started a company trying to commercialise scientific research and developments – “we have a lot of faith in these scientists” . he claims in his poetic memoir to find inspiration in martin luther king , jr . but became a nationals spokesman at a time when it kept a soft stance on apartheid in south africa . “freedom of speech” has been emblazoned on his golf course , and on the uniforms of the a - league soccer team he used to own , but he’s been quick to threaten to sue people for defamation . ( his who’s who entry once listed litigation as a hobby . )

rinehart does not enjoy the boy - next - door - made - good popularity of , say , palmer or “twiggy” forrest . this might have something to do with gender – and as she wars with her children it’s easy to paint her with the medea brush – but judging from the testimonials in adele ferguson’s gina rinehart : the untold story of the richest woman in the world it might also be related to a rather jarring personality . “she could be great fun … but more often than not , everything turned nasty or narky , generally over who would pay the bill , ” comments one former friend in this page - turner with a touch of jackie collins , or perhaps colleen mccullough . it’s full of sex , power , money and dynastic infighting .
in addition to the organizations mentioned above , palmer ' s professional affiliations included : the housing centre ( london ) ; national planning association ; foreign policy association ; american society of planning officials ; national housing and town planning council ( england ) ; international federation of housing and town planning ( belgium ) ; american legion ; military order of foreign wars ; and the english - speaking union .

palmer’s eyes narrow . “firstly , ” he tells me , “a greater principle than climate change is democracy , where different points of view can be discussed freely , and people can have different points of opinion , right ? i was of the view that the carbon tax was a useless tax because it only applied to australians . well , we know the air moves around the world , air can move across borders …”
with a need for their own bank space , the newly organized palmer national bank and trust company of sarasota made the first floor of the building its temporary banking headquarters when original plans called for the new bank to be located in the former banking house of its successor , the first bank and trust company , on main street at nearby five points were not completed when the stock market crashed causing first bank to close .

clive palmer rises to wrap it up . “wherever we come from , wherever we’re going to , we all inhabit this planet together , we all have a shared future , ” he says , before nimbly switching gears . “so , tonight i’m going to ask you to all come forward , rush me , because all the desserts are behind me , and after that , we’re down to see the dinosaurs . thank you . ”
