Political ad spending: Clive Palmer’s UAP splashing big ahead of federal election
Clive Palmer is appearing to be sticking to his words in January that he is set to run the “most expensive political campaign in history” with new political spend data provided by Nielsen.
For the month of March, as of the evening of 29 March, the United Australia Party has spent $9,674,757 across print, TV and radio, with the official federal election cycle still yet to be called.
During the same period, the Labor party has spent $540,143, the Liberal party $467,337 and the Greens $62,275.
It doesn’t matter how many bricks you build your house with, if the foundations are insubstantial, it’ll fall over.
I usually vote Labor but this year I am voting for the United Australia Party. What better person to run a country than a businessman? As at the end of the day, a country is a business. That buys and sells/imports and exports. Clive Palmer is a smart businessman.
A country is not even close to being a business. A sovereign economy is likewise nothing like a business. I suggest a course in economics and civics may assist your thinking there, Clive.
Already over it. I subscribe to the WHO and the ad even appears in that. Haven’t checked any cookbooks yet but wouldn’t be surprised if they are included in the campaign which seems to have been going on forever. Anything resembling a yellow and black ad gets immediately torn out or changed on the tv screen.
