Glenn Lazarus, the Palmer United Party's number one Senate candidate in Queensland, yesterday emerged as a potential shock entry to the Senate after polling showed his party level with the Greens and twice the vote of Katter's Australia Party in the state. The party, run by colourful Queensland billionaire Clive Palmer, claims 15 per cent income tax breaks worth $2500 on average for everyone are affordable as the money would circulate within the economy and the government would make its money back with GST. While it agrees with Mr Abbott to abolish the carbon tax and would help combat any Greens-Labor attempt to block the moves, the PUP wants to refund the carbon costs endured so far. It also wants to ditch Labor's proposals for car fringe benefits tax changes, make the first $10,000 in home repayments tax deductible and make north Queensland an independent state. But the PUP has attracted controversy for not officially costing policies and its antics, including brazenly copying and pasting pages from the Liberal Party policy platform. A Neilsen Poll yesterday found the PUP was attracting 8 per cent of the primary vote in Queensland while the KAP was at 4 per cent. Mr Lazarus, dubbed "the brick with eyes" during his playing days and posed with the brick to promote a brick company, yesterday dismissed suggestions the party platform was unrealistic. He said the policies were "common sense" and he would take advice from Mr Palmer if he took the Senate seat from mid-next year. "I've been around the state for the past month and I have met a lot of disgruntled people so I am not surprised at the results," he said. I would be a representative of the people of Queensland. I will be going as hard as I can for all of them and taking advice from Clive on what I need to do. Amid reports dismissing the income tax plan as misleading given many people would save the money, Mr Lazarus said while the income tax cuts would cost $70 billion, it would make $7 billion every time it was spent in the economy. These are common sense policies to stimulate the economy and get people enthused. In other policies, lobbyists would be banned from roles in political parties. Mr Palmer also announced yesterday a 25 per cent target for cars to be running on ethanol by 2020. During his career, Mr Lazarus made history as the only player to win three grand finals for three different clubs - Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne.
