Palmer hits back at reports of China rant

PERTH, July 9 AAP - Billionaire Clive Palmer says his relationship with China and his own staff is strong and amicable, despite reports of him hurling abuse at Chinese executives over a royalties dispute.

A report in The Australian on Tuesday claimed Mr Palmer told executives at one of China's largest companies to "pack up all your f***ing gear and get back to China" during a heated exchange over a royalties dispute.

The newspaper also posted an audio tape of the message on their website.

Speaking to reporters in Perth, Mr Palmer claimed the story lacked "sources", and said he had thousands of happy employees across the country.

"I don't (use that language with staff)," Mr Palmer said.

"You can talk to any of my staff, I have got thousands of people who work for me in Australia and are very happy.

"There is no source in these reports ... it seems journalism has slipped a bit in Australia, and a long way in The Australian."

In May, Mr Palmer's company Mineralogy won part of the multi-million dollar court battle over a single word in a contract which defined the timing of royalty payments due from an $8 billion iron ore mine.

Supreme Court Justice James Edelman found in favour of Mr Palmer's Mineralogy, which is battling contractors Sino Iron and Korean Steel over when royalties from iron ore at the Cape Preston magnetite ore grounds, south of Dampier, were due.

Mr Palmer, who is already suing The Australian over reports of his business affairs, lashed out at News Limited and its owner Rupert Murdoch.
