Clive Palmer's United Australia Party has been de-registered, but that hasn't stopped the billionaire from returning to politics.

His new party, 'Trumpet of Patriots' will adopt many of Donald Trump's policies.

Clive Palmer told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We'll do what's necessary to protect and defend the Australian people."

"The most important thing is to have freedom of speech in our country to protect the freedoms that have been fought for in two world wars."

"We can't let those things go," Mr. Palmer said.
