Does Australia have its very own government-blocking Silvio Berlusconi?

Counting continues in the Australian election… believe it or not!

Mining billionaire Clive Palmer looks like he is going to miss out on a seat in the upper house, so he’s spat the dummy and says his party (which has won one seat) will block all government legislation:

“From our point of view we’ll have the balance of power in the Senate, so if Tony Abbott doesn’t reform the electoral act, we’ll just … not pass anything. Nothing,” he said. ”I don’t give a stuff about a mandate.”
