VIDEO ABOVE: The Feed's first farewell to Clive Palmer.
In 2014, eccentric billionaire Clive Palmer got a taste of life in the Australian Senate and now he wants back in.
The former mining powerhouse, who has spent millions on replica dinosaurs and Titanic II, says he plans to spend roughly $50 million on his United Australia Party's federal election campaign - more than both major parties combined.
While the prime minister is to Palmer, the Opposition has .
But Palmer doesn't appear fazed by the 'tosser' tag.
My wealth is $4,000 million.
"Do you think I give a stuff about what you personally think or anyone else?" said Palmer.
Palmer still facing money woes
There's a few people chasing Clive Palmer for a lot of money.
In 2016, Palmer's Queensland Nickel refinery collapsed, leaving 800 people out of a job and more than $300 million owed to creditors.
The federal government stepped in with a $70 million loan to cover workers' payments, as part of the 'Fair Entitlements Guarantee'. The government is now trying to recover that money from Palmer in the federal court.
In addition to this, Palmer was required to pay another $7 million for a set of entitlements not covered by the government. However, there's over when this will be done.
But wait, there's more.
According to , liquidators are also chasing a $200 million payment made from Queensland Nickel to the mining magnate - made before the company's collapse.
But wait, there's... even more.
Earlier this month that Clive Palmer owed taxpayers almost $7,000, dating back to his time as a senator in 2014/15. The debt covered a staff travel budget overspend.
It's understood Palmer has not yet paid the money back. It's around 1,000 days overdue.
Can he actually run for parliament?
The key to a person's eligibility to sit in parliament is Section 44 of the Constitution - the same section that saw a raft of politicians leave parliament for holding dual citizenship.
Despite Palmer's business woes - University of Queensland's electoral politics expert Professor Graeme Orr said all signs point to him actually being eligible.
"You can be disqualified from parliament if you are bankrupt, but Clive Palmer is not involved in any bankruptcy proceedings," he said.
So, you can owe $7 million to ex-workers, but you can't hold citizenship to another country.
What's more, Palmer's court proceedings don't affect his eligibility.
Unless you are subject to a criminal conviction with a sentence one year or longer, you can be a member of parliament.
So, you could be convicted of a crime and still be eligible for parliament.
Professor Orr said that he might be caught out if he has any business interests have a direct or indirect pecuniary interest with the Commonwealth.
"He would be disqualified if any of his financial interests are tied up with the Commonwealth."
