Jacqui Lambie

Outspoken Senator-elect Jacqui Lambie has opened up about her struggle to live off just $150 a week after being booted out of Parliament.

Ms Lambie – who has made a stunning comeback after being re-elected last weekend – was kicked out of Parliament in 2017 after revealing she was a dual citizen.

In an exclusive interview with The New Daily, Ms Lambie said the sudden loss of income left her broke and that she survived off Vegemite toast, with a budget of just $150 per week.

She eventually fell behind in her mortgage repayments but refused to go on the dole, instead appearing on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here to pay for her Senate campaign.

She claims to have made just $20,000 in a year from speaking gigs and media appearances.

“There was no pay out. Because we were imposters. It was just walk out and you’re finished,” she told the publication.

Ms Lambie will now earn $200,000 per year after being re-elected in Tasmania.

I read the link. She financed her campaign from whatever she earned after appearing in a TV show.

I dont mind her personally!

She is a straight shooter no bullshit type of person in my opinion!

She really only has one policy that is Veterans protection stuff.

Bit of a rough diamond but who cares!

My issue with her is that she is very dumb. Yes, she is a street fighter because she has the position. If she was not a Senator, none would take any notice of her at all. She made it to the Senate on Clive Palmer's money, then welched on him. Her Staff turnover is horrific. Her personal ethos leaves a lot to be desired. She wants a bloke with a fat wallet and even bigger penis. Not my cup of tea. Frogen would be loving her for her attitudes. She admits she is there now to disrupt Morrison.
