帕尔默的财产据估计超过30亿英镑，他在澳大利亚以古怪的念头、不寻常的办事方式，以及有争议的看法而著称。他曾经在效益非常好的一年年末为55名表现最好的员工送出奔驰汽车做奖励。最近他还宣布将在澳大利亚国内另外成立一个足协机构，因为他的球队黄金海岸联队近日被澳大利亚足协取消联赛注册资格。
Mr Palmer, a life member of the conservative National Party, coupled his announcement of his Titanic II plans with a declaration today that he intends to run against the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, in the Queensland seat of Lilley at the next election. Mr Swan said on Twitter he was "over the moon to fight in Lilley ... against Clive".
