It has been many years since Clive locked horns with Western Australia. Embarrassing himself again and again in the High Court as he fought to be allowed in and subsequently then trying to bankrupt us.
These feelings no doubt have simmered inside of him for some time and the fact ScoMo came out and admitted that his own choice to take on WA to get us to open our borders was folly has only ignited the Clive fire more.
So you can only imagine his joy when he heard of a Labor stalwart stepping down and leaving his juicy seat of Secret Harbour up for grabs.
It’s currently unclear if he’ll be joining teams with Pauline or running as his own party but his goal is very clear – to rob joy from WA Labor.
We spoke to a politics insider who said losing Secret Harbour to Clive would sting more than One Nation, adding,
“The thought of having to deal with his shit in Parliament does concern WA Labor, not that Clive had a great attendance record when he was in the Federal House of Reps in 2013, still it’s a looming threat”
Naturally, Clive will first have to win over the good people of Secret Harbour & surrounds but our insider told us he had a most elegant solution to that, adding,
“SMS. Shitloads of them. More text messages you’ve received since you were 15 with your first phone. You people will pray for another Telstra outage!”
Sounds about right.
