LAST year mining magnate and Federal Fairfax MP Clive Palmer donated his parliamentary salary to community organisations in his electorate – and he’s doing it again this year.
The mining magnate and Palmer United Party founder said local community organisations in his federal electorate of Fairfax will again receive a donation from his parliamentary salary.
Mr Palmer said he would continue to keep his promise to donate his parliamentary salary as he did last year with more than $150,000 going towards more than 100 community organisations.
“The next instalment of my parliamentary salary will be drawn and donations will be made to more than 100 community organisations in the Fairfax electorate,” Mr Palmer said.
Community organisations to benefit from Mr Palmer’s electoral salary include Bli Bli Little Athletics Centre, Buderim War Memorial Community Association, Coolum Beach Quilters, Country Women’s Association at Kenilworth, Eumundi RSL, Indigenous Services, Maroochydore State High School, Nambour Indoor Bowls Association, Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten, RACQ Sunshine Coast Helicopter Rescue Service, Sunshine Coast Writers Group, Yandina Scouts and many more.
