Clive cops serve

EMBATTLED Clive Palmer, his nephew Clive Mensink and 19 other defendants were yesterday officially served for the spectacular demise of Queensland Nickel.

In one of the most significant steps in reclaiming $209 million back to taxpayers and employees waiting for their full entitlements, the Special Purpose Liquidator appointed by the Federal Government targeted defendants in Australia and overseas.

The move came as Mr Palmer returned to Australia after a luxury cruise around the world.

About 450 QN staff are still owed about $6 million of entitlements.
