Labor minister rejects Clive Palmer’s death tax advertisements as ‘a disgrace’ days out from Queensland election

Labor has flatly rejected suggestions from Clive Palmer that it intends to introduce a “death tax” with Cabinet Minister Kate Jones labelling it “bullshit”.

Mr Palmer’s United Australia Party has been advertising extensively on TV, social media and in newspapers.

Mineralogy has also sent unsolicited texts.

Outgoing Tourism Minister Kate Jones said the claims were simply untrue.
