AN anti-coal seam gas activist says he intends to sue mining billionaire Clive Palmer for accusing him of treason.
Lock the Gate Alliance president Drew Hutton says a notice of intention to pursue a defamation matter has been drafted and will be sent to Mr Palmer tomorrow.
Mr Palmer last week said the CIA was funding Greenpeace, the Australian Greens and Mr Hutton in an attempt to undermine Australia's coal industry.
Mr Hutton said he had dropped the idea of pursuing Mr Palmer in court, but changed his mind after Mr Palmer made fresh comments.
The mining magnate today backed away from his CIA claims but says he doesn't regret them because they distracted people from a negative campaign against the Liberal National Party in the Queensland election.
