I don't understand Palmer's waffle half the time
The Tassies understand her - that's all that matters

She's a buffoon, but oddly makes a great point about representing your electorate and voicing a view that may differ from the party line.

Excellent she can negotiate direct with the government. This should end well...

Parliament would be much more effective if everyone did this

Oh, is that what you think she said?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Lol I must admit my Lambie to English converter was not on so anything is possible.

Try as I might and there has been plenty of reason to I just can't dislike Jacqui Lambie.

She's not a professional politician who doesn't know shit from clay, she has lived in the real world (not whinging about lack of 5 star accommodations in the Barossa or the horrors of experiencing a fly in a beach side café), speaks her mind (although I disagree with a lot of her opinions) and is a strong independent woman.

Yes, she's basically used the PUP vehicle to get into parliament and now bailed on them but I don't mind seeing Palmer get some of his own back after using just about everyone else to get where he is. Good to see someone actually have the guts to stand up to him.

[Booney]

You think this was all premeditated?

I was just about to ask a similar question there boon. Interesting thought.

[mighty_tiger_79]

i think it may have been

Clive is a former National member and Lambie seems to just go with the populist view.

Lambie used Clives money to get into Parliament and now she is there she has jumped ship

[mighty_tiger_79]

actually given Lambies view on a few issues that are very similar to One Nation, I think Lambie would be well served to practice the dance moves of Rise Up Australia Party

[stan]

She says things that is popular with the masses at the time. Now she is in she is aimimg to be the next Nick X.

difference between those too, is Nick X is far more intelligent then she could ever be

[Psyber]

Lambie appears to have been trying to get into Parliament for some time out of pure self-interest. Her history suggests she couldn't get support to stand for a seat from the Libs or the ALP so she put her hand up when the PUP was seeking candidates in a hurry.
I can't see her lasting past the next election.

Possibly, but really ahe could get re-elected simply by jumping on items that are popular.
