What deal is Clive looking for next?

Who knows what Clive wants but if he threatens that PUP Senators will vote against the government again then I'm sure he'll get whatever he wants.

There won't be a DD under this government unless they're forced into it.

It looks like he will give Abbott the double dissolution that he pretended to want

I don't know. But can you imagine if he had been in office when Gillard was PM? She would have done deals with the devil to achieve her goal as PM. She succumbed to everything the Greens and the Independents wanted. I shudder to think what she would have done for Clive.
