Clive Palmer’s candidates filmed making the same awkward election statement

United Australia party candidates have appeared in the same scripted, word-for-word Facebook videos decrying the foreign ownership of Australian ports, and linking it to 'border security' and stopping 'leaky boats'. 'Border security is more than stopping a couple of leaky boats. It is about protecting and defending our country from invasion by selling our ports, farms, houses and lifestyle,' the candidates all say. Mining magnate Clive Palmer is running a UAP candidate in every lower-house seat in the country and those candidates have signed contracts which make it financially difficult for any of them to leave the party if they get elected
