Clive-Palmer-ate

(or Clive-Palmerate without the hyphen)

A of Australian origin, although might have traveled to some extent,

fictional down-to-earth dead-end-reality like (when applied) 'lubricant' in-mockery-of , rather than mythical aggrandization of 19th/20th century magical-cure oils, aethers/vapors, etc,

in reference to the simultaneous size of Clive Palmer's war-chest so to speak, spending-on-lawyers readiness or supposed 'untouchability' ... when despite his wealth, he loses most court-cases he's involved in,
and in-usage therefore,

INSTEAD of being an actual lubrical, (social, political),

it at-best? means bribery, or decisions made with incentives, but bribery basically,
( while setting aside the immorality of bribery, but as a inferred fast-tracking or sometimes waste-evading method )

or primarily,
means adding something that is SUPPOSED to be going-to facilitate social/political lubrication,
but draws attention to itself, might attract the interest of the police, courts, or other interventionaries, the media, or generally cause a already slow or clogged, dirty machine-of-industry or of-politics, to become EVEN MORE, slowed down or even more clogged, despite the irony of it's (on the label) purpose.

If i remember correctly, it has also been used as an INGREDIENT, amongst the ingredients list on the back of a fictional political-product (a metaphoric consumer product message-in-a-bottle (or item))
This local state election, contains;
20% continued climate change disaster relief grant spending money,
5% income tax, 0% corporations tax,
25% party-political donations and federal-party indirect unaccounted-for support,
50% Clive-Palmer-ate

Gee, that episode of Insiders on TV last night was something-else, eh? Reckon it was running on 100% Clive-Palmerate, that one!
