“To lose one senator may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”
Clive Palmer's hold on Australian parliament is slipping away after Senator Glenn "The Brick With Eyes" Lazarus announced his resignation from the Palmer United Party.
He will now sit as an independent senator for Queensland.

Glenn Lazarus announced his departure from PUP on Facebook, wishing Clive Palmer all the best and stating that he has a "different view of teamwork."
The former rugby league star told radio host Alan Jones that he left the party to be as good as being a senator as he was at playing football.
“I just felt that in order to be able to serve the people of Queensland and do my job like the way I played footy – I just wanted to do the best job I could."
