A Coalition of whatever and whoever it takes – » The Australian Independent Media Network

Reporter: So, prime minister what you seem to be saying is that, to hold onto power, you are prepared to enter into a coalition with just about anybody be it One Nation, Palmer United, the Nationals?

PM: That just about sums it up: you see, a vote for me and Clive and that bloke from the National party and Pauline means stable government and a vote for the Labor party means you get Bill Shorten (yuck !)

Reporter: You had previously said of Clive Palmer that he was a despicable toad who dudded his own employees, who had the worst record for parliamentary attendance of any member since federation and now he’s your best buddy?

PM: Is there a question there?

Reporter: Which are the policies and philosophies that you share with Mr Palmer?

PM: We both hate the Labor party and we both love power.

Reporter: Haven’t you sold out on everything that Bob Menzies stood for and the principles by which John Howard was guided in his years at the helm?

PM: Bob who? principles? John Howard ?- you’re making no sense, are you from the ABC?
