Saturday 21 May 2022 01:28 PM Australia election results 2022: Jane Hume 'shove it up your jumper' to Simon ... trends now A Liberal Party senator has told the multi millionaire puppet master financing the 'Teal Independents' to 'shove it up your jumper' in a heated and awkward on-air exchange. Jane Hume was part of Chanel Nine's star-studded election coverage when the network crossed to Simon Holmes a Court who was celebrating the success of his environmentally-conscious candidates. The network of Independents snatched up at least two seats and gained major swings across the country in a stunning campaign that will make Mr Holmes a Court one of the most powerful people in Australia. Who is Simon Holmes à Court? Simon Holmes à Court is a senior advisor to the Climate and Energy College at Melbourne University and director of the Smart Energy Council. He was the founding chairman of Australia's first community-owned wind farm, Hepburn Wind, and is one of four children of Robert Holmes à Court and his wife Janet. Robert was born in Johannesburg in 1937 and moved to Perth to study law in 1961. After working as barrister and solicitor, he built a business empire made up of companies in the resources, transport, media and beverage industries. He died of a heart attack aged 53 in 1990, leaving his fortune to wife Janet and his children. Robert's eldest son Peter Holmes à Court is a multimillionaire entrepreneur who once owned the South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL team with Russell Crowe.

'Jane has for a long time spread lies and mistruths about me,' he said. 'I have asked her to withdraw and she won't. I asked her in public forum and that probably wasn't the place to do it, but I'm looking forward to that retraction of lies from Jane Hume.' He was once again asked if he had any regrets about the hard-fought campaign 'Those who have seen the full video will know what really went on. As I said to Jane I have gave my apology that I think that wasn't an appropriate place for it,' he said. 'But I hope we can get a resolution and that she can withdraw those lies as we come out of this election.' Ms Hume said the answer sounded like a 'a sorry, not sorry'. 'If you see the full video you'll see it was a set up. It was pretty disgraceful behaviour. I hope it takes some paint off your celebrations tonight.' Mr Holmes a Court chimed in once again saying: 'Looking forward to getting your full apology,' he said. 'Stick it up your jumper,' Ms Hume replied. The pair were embroiled in a fiery stoush on Thursday with a Liberal frontbencher - as Treasurer Josh Frydenberg filmed it all on his mobile phone. Jane Hume was canvassing for Mr Fydenberg in the seat of Kooyong when she was approached by Simon Holmes a Court, who was there to support candidate Monique Ryan. 'Just leave me alone, Simon. Please leave me alone,' said Ms Hume as Mr Holmes a Court stood in front of her. 'You're suing me for defamation, Simon, I don't want to talk to you.'

Ms Hume, who looked stressed by the encounter, said again, 'Simon, you are suing me for defamation. Please leave me alone. 'This may have legal implications. Please leave me alone, Simon. 'You are the son of Australia's first billionaire, you are suing me for defamation. Please leave me alone, leave me alone,' she said. Mr Holmes a Court then turned his attention to Mr Frydenberg, who was filming it all. 'Josh, how're you doing,' he said to the Treasurer. 'I agree with everything she says,' Mr Frydenberg replied. 'You agree with her lies?' Mr Holmes a Court then asked. 'Would you like to repeat her lies?' Multimillionaire Simon Holmes a Court (pictured) stands directly in front of Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who is filming him After a few seconds of just standing there, with nothing said by either side, Mr Holmes a Court then said 'Good on you mate.' A male bystander is then heard saying 'Why don't you leave her alone and stop annoying everyone?' Mr Holmes a Court then again turns his attention to Ms Hume, who is the Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy. Ms Hume then again expresses her concern that even talking to Mr Holmes a Court could have 'legal implications' - before the video ends. The clash with Ms Hume and Mr Frydenberg followed a controversial tweet on Wednesday where Mr Holmes a Court described the former Liberal prime minister John Howard as 'the angel of death'. Mr Howard condemned the social media post as 'beneath contempt'. Mr Holmes a Court denied last night that his 'Angel of Death' remark was a reference to the nickname given to Josef Mengele, who performed deadly experiments on prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II - as several commentators had made out. Liberal senator Jane Hume (right) is pictured holding her hand up to multimillionaire Simon Holmes a Court (left) to indicate, yet again, that she doesn't want to talk to him Mr Holmes a Court said he is part Jewish and his tweet was misunderstood and taken out of context. 'The quote refers solely to a Liberal's description of Howard' from a recent newspaper article, he said. The newspaper article had noted Mr Howard was visiting seats where the Coalition is on the nose. Mr Holmes a Court, a son of Australia's first billionaire, Robert Holmes a Court, has been trying to influence Saturday's federal election by funding so-called teal independent candidates to oust Liberal MPs, several of them in wealthy, inner-city seats. The clean energy investor set up a fundraising body called Climate 200 to raise huge sums for pro-climate candidates. Before the 2019 Federal election it raised $500,000 but this time around Mr Holmes a Court sought to raise $20million with the aim of getting three more independents into the federal parliament. The organisation said it needs the massive sum to counter the huge amounts of money donated to political parties by billionaire Clive Palmer and fossil fuel companies.
