Individual agreements between big-name members of micro-parties could have a macro-effect on federal politics, with an alliance formed between Clive Palmer and Australian Motoring Enthusiast Senator-elect Ricky Muir.

The Palmer United Party has announced a voting agreement that will see Mr Muir vote the same way as the billionaire-backed start-up party for the next few years.

The agreement increases Mr Palmer’s hold on sway in the Senate through the three elected senators from his party and now, Ricky Muir of the AMEP.

Senator-elect Muir says the PUP has agreed to support his pro-motoring policies (the substance of which has not been revealed) and Mr Muir says he will back the policies of the Palmer United Party (the substance of which has not been revealed).

“It is our intention to vote together with the Palmer United Party in the Senate,” Mr Muir says

“This will provide the Government and the people of Australia with certainty... together, I can do so much more than I could have achieved alone.”

Mr Palmer is still waiting to see if he will sit in the seat of Fairfax, with a recount underway for the Gold Coast electorate. Palmer says even if he does not get up, he will ensure his bloc of Senators hold together to push their agenda.

“This is a message really given that if Senate Abetz - if Eric says he wants to negotiate individually with people, well, he’ll have to negotiate with our team or he won't be negotiating at all,” he said.

“It'll be a very, very, very, very cold winter... but we hope we can bring that into a nice prosperous summer for the Government and the people of Australia.”

Mr Palmer may be looking for another such agreement, with legislation stating a party must have five members of parliament to trigger provisions of extra resources, including staff. Palmer says his Senators will have a hefty task staying on top of their combine workload.

“You've got three Senators having to consider the whole weight of legislation from the House of Representatives... it's the volume of work, not about how many Senators you've got, and of course if we don't get any resources you can well imagine it will take longer for the three people to do their job and maybe you'll only get one bill through a year.”

He has also responded to criticism of the Senators’ political experience, or lack thereof.

“What's more important is the content of our character, not whether we get re-elected, and we do the right thing by the Australian people,” Palmer says

“Our Senators are not professional politicians. They're members of the community. They want to do what's right for the community... I think people want us to be honest and stand up for principle and it is more important we provide a proper representation.”
