She is one of 12 Tasmanian senators. I'm not sure about other states but generally there is a strong point of difference between state based politics and those representing the state federally.
Doc, she says she will spend the weekend consulting with the people of Tasmania......Will someone remind her that she is just one of six senators in Tasmania and she is really a servant of the state government and should be consulting with the state government as well as the people of Tasmania....If she continues to make self interest decisions instead of the Tasmanian requirements then she is not doing her job and deserves to be kicked out..
Rubbish, policy should be developed and thrashed out in the Parliament under the eye of the pubic and general elecotorate. Not from behind party closed doors. This is why I admire people like Malcome Fraser because he came from such an era and espouses such today.
Jackie Lambie was not fed on a silver spoon, she as a single mum had a rough road. She is speking openly from her heart and her opening up yesterday was a great day for democracy.
Funny you should say that, they are poles apart in their beliefs.
Lambie wants a pay rise to be increased to match inflation.
Fraser brought in a wages 'freeze', with no restraint on prices, the average Australian worker despised him.
I suppose people like Explod are what Lambie is counting on to excuse her from her hysterical behaviour.
With this mentality, and the numbers now forming in the senate the current Government will desintigrate.
And with it, any chance of being able to support the welfare system, we enjoy.lol
Go back to Labor/Green trajectory and sooner or later it implodes.
You can't keep spending more than you earn, I would have thought you would already know that.
Unless you are on a taxpayer funded income, but even that stalls, when the taxpayers are out of work.
That is not correct. Our debt per capita is insignificant compared to most other western countries. To invest in the future borrowing is standard practice.
Home buyers and investors do it on borrowing.
The debt on this Governments arrival (off top of head here) was heading to 200 billion, the Libs have raised the ceiling to half a trillion.
All of the rhetoric of the two partes is just that, hot air rhetoric.
I mean why do we have to compare ourselves with other countries who were stupid enough to get themselves into so much debt..

Emma had Clive by the short and curlies last night and he did not like, so he spat the dummy.

It's far too late for him to change.Grist for the mill. Clive didn't get to where he is by being subordinate to a party machine and news cycle like most profile politicians. He has smashed his way through and probably sees no reason to change.
EMMA ALBERICI: And if I had've had the opportunity, I was trying to make out - make the point that in these court documents it does say that Mr Palmer has attempted to pay back the money on three occasions.
JACQUI Lambie claims someone has leaked details of a legal dispute with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs in a bid to damage her, as Clive Palmer called the rogue senator’s recent *behaviour “berserk”.
With Senator Lambie in Tasmania contemplating her political future, her spokesman told The Australian she had been the target of a dirty tricks campaign.
Seven News last night reported that Senator Lambie owed the department $11,000 in compensation claims that she had been overpaid before entering parliament.
The spokesman did not deny there was a dispute, which has been ongoing since 2010, but said the amount of money in question had not been agreed upon.
“It is a personal issue that has obviously been leaked to the media to try and harm her and she’s very disappointed that that’s happened,” he said. “The bigger question is who leaked it? Was it within the government?
“Her solicitor thinks she has a very good chance of winning any court case that the DVA wants to contest.”
Senator Lambie has also sought constitutional advice from the Senate clerk, fearing the Palmer United Party could take action against her to claim the seat if she quit the party and became an independent.
Grist for the mill. Clive didn't get to where he is by being subordinate to a party machine and news cycle like most profile politicians. He has smashed his way through and probably sees no reason to change.
It was good sport, but Emma did take it too far IMO..... poor timing on this occasion.
Understand what a pathological liar is. Basically, a pathological liar is someone who tells lies habitually, chronically and compulsively. It has simply become a way of life for this person, to make up things for a variety of reasons and eventually, the truth becomes uncomfortable while weaving whoppers feels right to them. This kind of lying tends to develop early on in life, often as a response to difficult home or school situations that seemed to resolve better if the child lied. It's a bad habit, not a manipulative trait––this is how to differentiate a pathological liar from a sociopath who does seek to manipulate.
It is not easy to interview a pathological liar. Emma did her best to expose him. I can't wait until they get him in court, where he will lie under oath.

I know it's easy pickings, but I have to say it ......... that sounds like so many politicians.
I have no time for Mr Palmer, but with respect to that part of the interview, I think maybe he had grounds to be irritated. The Citic Pacific case is before the courts and surely we should all be prepared to await the outcome before persisting with questions on this.It is not easy to interview a pathological liar.

You criticise other politicians for lying to the electors, and yet Clive told the biggest lie of all.
