Palmer's Energy A and Premier Meetings | Brisbane News
Description
Billionaire Clive Palmer is quietly circling power in Queensland, leveraging his wealth and new branding as “Energy A” to deepen ties with Premier David Crisafulli—just as the state leans into coal. Despite past rejections of his mega-project, Palmer’s companies are now funding political events across the spectrum, even attending Labor fundraisers while staying out of the spotlight. Three high-profile meetings in 13 months, plus lobbyists with a history of advising Palmer, suggest a calculated push for influence. With Palmer’s Gold Coast properties right in the Premier’s electorate and a tagline touting “Australia’s long-term energy security,” questions are mounting: Is this a business pivot—or a political play shaping Queensland’s energy future?
