Summary This week's program is about a man who defies easy definition. Clive Palmer has been described as generous, a national treasure and a major political force. He's also been labelled a billionaire mining magnate who has never mined, a human headline and a skilled manipulator of the media. He first burst into national consciousness via the mining tax debate, public stoushes with other business and political heavyweights, and his role in Queensland Labor's crushing election defeat. Now he wants to run against Wayne Swan in the Treasurer's seat of Lilley. So who is Clive Palmer, what is his personal history and does his past provide clues to his future? In exclusive interviews, his wife Anna, close friends and employees shed new light on a man often described as larger than life. Business and political commentators also have their say.
