Businessman, former politician and publicity hound Clive Palmer has taken out a three-page spread in News Corp publications, claiming to have purchased 32.9 million doses of hydroxychloroquine – an antimalarial drug being studied for its effectiveness in treating COVID-19.
Palmer’s text-heavy ad says he has purchased the drug and donated it to the Australian government, “so it may be available free to all Australians”.
Palmer said he had paid for the drugs “with his own money” and claimed health minister Greg Hunt was grateful for his efforts.
