Palmer to pay bulk of defamation costs from McGowan court battle

Summary by Ground News
WA Premier Mark McGowan tried to put an end to defamation proceedings with Queensland businessman Clive Palmer in December last year. Mr McGowan made an offer for both sides to drop their proceedings and walk away, with each to bear their own costs. The offer was rejected by Mr Palmer and the case proceeded, with the court finding both sides defamed each other in a scathing judgement handed down last week. Justice Michael Lee is due to deliver his decision later today.
