Clive Palmer has finally decided to rule out running for the Senate, after a weird press conference flurry in which he ruled out running for the Senate because he didn’t like red (“it’s a shocking colour”), then said he would not run again in the seat of Fairfax, then said he might run in the Senate.

His antics were too numerous to name here (and we’ve done that already), but we’re glad that we won’t be dealing with a far-right Queensland politician with an inscrutable agenda and some xenophobic views (remember when he called the Chinese government “mongrels”?) again …
