I agree. If someone is legally owed money due to a government decision, government should not be able to introduce legislation blocking that from occurring. That government has done so is as good as admitting guilt that the monies were originally owed.
Replace the figure of Clive Palmer with Glen Buckley's situation... it doesn't pass the pub test!
