Ultimately, free-loaders like Clive will get exactly what they deserve from the Australian purse - NOTHING!

Lower royalties should be offerred to companies that process raw materials in Australia. The more local processing the lower the royalty (ie. Iron ingots = 5% reduction; steel = 25%).

An increase in royalties would offset the big mining companies tax avoidance practices which see them avoid their other tax responsibilities.

All State governments should immediately revoke mining licenses for any tenaments not currently in operation. That is, in the process of building or in production. New royalty arrangenents (from 50%-75%) can be established and tenaments auctioned off for the development rights..

Clives got a point! Why does Australia give its rescources away for (virtually) free to anyone willing to dig a hole. Our mineral resouces are FINITE! All Australian's should benefit - not just self interested rent-seekers like Clive.

'Make Australia Great', by taking $45B of tax payer's money. This guy is on another planet.

Clive, go to China to sue them. See how that goes. Pay your workes their entitlements.

Has any one wondered why there’s investor protection in the first place but they can sue Australia. May be the Journalists should go after the pokies that signed this rule instead of Palmer.

This guy is such a greedy grub! Anyone that votes for this flog needs their head read!

The Australian Government should legislate to prevent any Australian Citizen or any subsidiary company with an Australian parent to be excluded from taking action Investor States Dispute Clauses. Palmer looks to me like he's gaming the system. TI Notgonnatakeit Auspol
