The Jacqui Lambie Network's implosion in Tasmania follows a growing list of Australian namesake parties that have quickly encountered turbulence.
Two moments in the space of 24 hours last week were very telling about the Jacqui Lambie Network and its three Tas manian MPs.
The government's remained firm saying it won't introduce new taxes. Do you think it needs to be a bit more flexible and open to that idea?Now that we have this report, what's going to be the role of you three in terms of seeing the recommendations put in place?You were talking about raising taxes. I mean, really, what we've got to look at first is cutting spending.
The second moment was the precursor to disaster for the JLN — and it was set in motion by party's namesake, Senator Jacqui Lambie herself.On August 20, Mr Jenner and Ms Pentland appeared on ABC Radio Hobart, and although they had tried to find common ground on government spending, they disagreed again.If parliament is presented with a vote of confidence in Michael Ferguson's handling of issue, what will you do?Absolutely. At the end of the day, the minister is always in charge.
