Clive Palmer has told journalists to "stick it" after again being questioned about his business dealings.
The Palmer United Party leader cut short a press conference in Canberra on Thursday when asked about his dispute with the state-owned Chinese company CITIC Pacific.
CITIC is suing the federal MP over claims more than $12 million was misappropriated by his company Mineralogy.
Mr Palmer repeatedly has dodged questions about the issue, cutting short television interviews and press conferences.
Asked why he was avoiding scrutiny, the billionaire businessman said he couldn't comment because the matter was before the courts.
When told it was a civil case and he was allowed to comment, Mr Palmer told reporters: "Stick it," before storming away.
On Monday he launched a bizarre attack on journalists at the National Press Club, accusing those who asked about CITIC of being lackeys for media magnate Rupert Murdoch.
