Yes I'll give that to you Sheba his name is Clive Mensink I haven't found a Wiki for him but here is an article about his present situation. Over to you for the next pic.

 

The Federal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Clive Palmer's nephew, Clive Mensink, after he again failed to appear to answer questions about the collapse of Queensland Nickel.

Mr Mensink, a former director of the company, has been overseas since last year and has not returned home despite numerous requests by the court.

He was the sole director of the Townsville-based company when it went into liquidation in 2016, leaving 800 people out of work.

It is now likely the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Australian Federal Police will be asked to help locate Mr Mensink.

In court on Monday, Justice John Dowsett also flagged the possibility of re-calling Mr Palmer to the witness stand to ask if he knew the whereabouts of his nephew.

Mr Mensink's lawyer Sam Iskander said he did not know where his client was.

"I'm advising the court that I've made all attempts that I can to contact Mr Mensink," he said.

Mr Iskander told the court he could not be sure his client was aware the orders were in place.

It is expected another warrant will be issued on Tuesday for contempt of court, which could allow authorities to extradite him to Australia.

Mr Mensink was ordered home from his overseas trip by the court last month.

On that occasion, his barrister Alex Nelson said his client would need $50,000 to cover expenses to return home, which included a business-class seat on flights.

"He's a larger-than-average fellow," Mr Nelson said.

The court was also told Mr Mensink had been diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety.

You've got him Sheba he was a great performer. Over to you

John Michael O'Keefe (19 January 1935 6 October 1978) was an Australian rock and roll singer whose career began in the 1950s. Some of his hits include "Wild One" (1958), "Shout!" and "She's My Baby". In his twenty-year career, O'Keefe released over fifty singles, 50 EPs and 100 albums. O'Keefe was also a radio and television entertainer and presenter[1]

Often referred to by his initials "J.O.K." or by his nickname "The Wild One", O'Keefe was the first Australian rock 'n' roll performer to tour the United States, and the first Australian artist to make the local Top 40 charts and he had twenty-nine Top 40 hits in Australia between 1958 and 1973.

Johnny O'Keefe was the younger brother of Australian jurist Barry O'Keefe (a former head of the New South Wales ICAC). His father, Alderman Ray O'Keefe, was Mayor of Waverley Council in the early 1960s.[2] Through Barry, O'Keefe was the uncle of Australian TV personality Andrew O'Keefe.

Johnny O'Keefe died in 1978 from a drug overdose.

Carlos Ray Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist, actor, film producer and screenwriter. After serving in the United States Air Force, he competed as a martial artist who won many championships, and has since founded his own school of fighting, Chun Kuk Do. Norris is also a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu and Judo.[3]

Norris appeared in a number of action films, such as Way of the Dragon, in which he starred alongside Bruce Lee, Good Guys Wear Black, The Octagon, Lone Wolf McQuade, Code of Silence, the Missing in Action trilogy, and The Delta Force. He was The Cannon Group's leading star in the 1980s.[4][5]

He played the title role in the television series Walker, Texas Ranger from 1993 until 2001.

Since 1997, he and model Christie Brinkley have been the main spokespersons for the Total Gym infomercials.

Norris has written several books, with subject matter varying from martial arts, exercise, philosophy, politics, Christian religion, western novels, to biography. He was twice a New York Times best-selling author, firstly was with his book on his personal philosophy of positive force and the psychology of self-improvement based on personal anecdotes called The Secret of Inner Strength: My Story (1988). His second New York Times Best Seller, Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America (2008), was about his critique on current issues in the USA. He also writes a column for the conservative website WorldNetDaily.[6]

In 2005, Norris became an internet star with the comical Chuck Norris facts, which documents fictional and often absurd feats associated with him. With this new found popularity he was hired to endorse many products that incorporated Chuck Norris facts in their commercials. This phenomenon also spanned six books, two of them New York Times Best Sellers, and two video games
