Clive Palmer: the rise and fall of a business empire and political career. Four Corners charts the rise and fall of the mercurial Clive Palmer, examining how he made his money, friends and bitter enemies along the way. With Palmer's political influence plummeting and serious questions hanging over his companies, reporter Hayden Cooper talks to political players, former colleagues and the workers left sacked at the now closed Queensland Nickel refinery in Townsville. Many are speaking out for the first time.
Four Corners is Australia's premier television current affairs program. It has been part of the Australian story since August 1961, exposing scandals, triggering inquiries, firing debate, confronting taboos and interpreting fads, trends and sub-cultures. Its consistently high standards of journalism and film-making have earned international recognition and an array of Walkleys, Logies and other national awards.
