Waddle he do next: Clive Palmer's giant fence stops ducks reaching pond, neighbours say

Locals complain the mining magnate has allegedly built an unauthorised concrete wall around his estate in Brisbane's Fig Tree Pocket

Brisbane neighbours of the mining magnate Clive Palmer have complained to the local council about an allegedly unauthorised concrete fence built around his extensive riverfront estate, which they say has blocked a family of ducks from reaching a nearby pond.

Palmer recently paid $5m for a property at Jesmond Road, Fig Tree Pocket. The purchase consolidated three separate blocks of land into a single 3.6 hectare property fronting the Brisbane River.
