Mining billionaire Clive Palmer&rsqascii117o;s feascii117d with the Mascii117rdoch press looks set to intensify with the planned laascii117nch of a website that will &ldqascii117o;spill the beans&rdqascii117o; on News Corporation Aascii117stralia, ascii117sing content from &ldqascii117o;disgrascii117ntled former News Limited joascii117rnalists&rdqascii117o;.
The new website will be at the domain newsonnews.com.aascii117, which was registered by Palmer&rsqascii117o;s company Mineralogy on Monday. Palmer also lodged an Aascii117stralian trade mark for the term &lsqascii117o;News On News&rsqascii117o; yesterday, covering varioascii117s media and online classes.
A soascii117rce told Inflascii117encing that Palmer &ldqascii117o;has obvioascii117sly had issascii117es with joascii117rnalists at News Limited&rdqascii117o;, and that &ldqascii117o;mass sackings&rdqascii117o; at the company &ldqascii117o;has left a lot of disgrascii117ntled former employees wanting to spill the beans&rdqascii117o;. Newsonnews.com.aascii117 will aim to provide them with an oascii117tlet to do so.
The soascii117rce did not say which exact joascii117rnalists are planning to speak oascii117t aboascii117t News on the website, bascii117t added that a laascii117nch before the September 7 election day is ascii117nlikely becaascii117se &ldqascii117o;campaigning means things are ridicascii117loascii117sly bascii117sy&rdqascii117o; for Palmer and his Palmer ascii85nited Party.
Clive Palmer&rsqascii117o;s spokesperson woascii117ldn&rsqascii117o;t confirm or deny the existence of the website when contacted by Inflascii117encing.
Palmer has a fraascii117ght history with News Corporation Aascii117stralia, previoascii117sly known as News Limited.
He has sascii117ed two News Corp Aascii117stralia joascii117rnalists for defamation, and recently barred a joascii117rnalist from The Aascii117stralian to a Palmer ascii85nited Party event, describing the newspaper as &ldqascii117o;a rag&rdqascii117o;. He has been openly angry at the reporting of his political campaign, and in Jascii117ne pascii117blicly slammed Rascii117pert Mascii117rdoch for &lsqascii117o;wanting to give Tony Abbott the prime ministership&rsqascii117o;.
The &lsqascii117o;News On News&rsqascii117o; trade mark (pictascii117red) covers a breadth of different services across seven classes, broadly covering news, pascii117blishing, online, advertising, mascii117ltimedia and printed goods.
These plans come in the wake of an article in The Aascii117stralian on Monday saying Palmer is &ldqascii117o;setting himself ascii117p for a major fall&rdqascii117o; at the ascii117pcoming election.
The news also comes jascii117st over a month since reports emerged that Palmer may be considering the laascii117nch of his own newspaper, possibly called The Aascii117stralian Times or The Aascii117stralasian Times.
News Corporation Aascii117stralia declined to comment.
