Liberal National Party donor and mining magnate Clive Palmer says yesterday’s devastating defeat of Anna Bligh’s government in Queensland should alarm federal Labor.

He says the swing against Labor in Queensland is even more massive than that at the last New South Wales election, and he says it’s more significant, because it’s close to the federal election.

Mr Palmer says Labor is on the way down because Australians want honesty.

But Mr Palmer denies he’ll have a massive influence over the future LNP government, saying he has as much power as any member of the party.
