United Australia Party leader Clive Palmer is recovering after he was rushed to hospital following a bad fall from a stage while preparing for his campaign launch event.
The 68-year-old billionaire mining magnate was reportedly left with a nasty gash on his head after he slipped and landed awkwardly while rehearsing the campaign launch at his Coolum resort on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on Friday.
First aid was administered immediately and Mr Palmer was transported to hospital where he was later discharged.
A UAP spokesman said Mr Palmer was resting on Saturday ahead of the campaign launch.
The fall is Mr Palmer’s second stumble in recent weeks.
While appearing at the National Press Club in Canberra he stumbled on stage but managed to avoid a serious fall or injury.
In February Mr Palmer, who is unvaccinated against Covid, was taken to Pindara Hospital after he contracted the virus.
A team of US-based specialists who treated Donald Trump were called in to help Mr Palmer and he claims they fast-tracked him oxjmtzywn to a US drug trial which included a mix of antivirals that included ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
Neither of the drugs have been approved by health authorities to treat Covid in Australia.
