Clive Palmer has sensationally hung up on a bemused 6PR Mornings host Jane Marwick, in for Liam Bartlett today, after launching a tirade against the quality of The West Australian.

Using a profanity to describe the newspaper, Palmer denied a report he was launching new court action against WA Premier Mark McGowan and WA Attorney General John Quigley.

Private texts that painted Palmer as a villain of WA between the newspaper's owner Kerry Stokes, Quigley and McGowan were famously made public during the recent defamation trial between the WA Premier and mining magnate.

"You just concluded our interview, thanks a lot, bye," Palmer said, shocking host Marwick, who asked him not to swear on air.

"There you go, Clive Palmer, so apparently he's doing nothing... I had plenty more questions to ask him but that's the Clive Palmer we've come to know," Marwick said after with a hint of bemusement.
