For a little while until it wears off.
Why would you say this when it is factually wrong? It's not a debate or a matter of opinion or preference. Here's how it's looking in Switzerland at the moment. Pretty clear that, yes, fully vaccinated people, including ones that have had boosters, can contract covid and die, however it is at a vastly lower rate, as the existing vaccines provide a very significant level of protection. Deaths per 100,000 people are 48 times higher in the unvaccinated group than the vaccinated and boosted group.
As to the political motivations of Clive Palmer, being able to split off an angry set of both left and right leaning voters, and then direct preferences as best suits his political goals or be a kingmaker holding a couple of seats in a closely balanced parliament, is a fairly obvious one, and getting $2.91 for every first preference vote received is also a decent incentive for most political parties, although probably less so for one being bankrolled by someone of Palmer's wealth. George Christensen is retiring at the next election to start up his "pro-freedom news website" and youtube channel, so again he has a keen financial interest in keeping a high profile and keep the views and clicks coming in.
