Jacqui Lambie surprised by Labor's campaign turnaround, as final Senate term ambitions revealed
Jacqui Lambie is settling in for a final six years, having successfully seen off a challenge for her federal Senate seat. Senator Lambie faced a nervous three-week wait for the distribution of preferences after the federal election on May 3. "I was more worried about Labor because the numbers, I'm thinking, 'Oh my goodness, they might win that third seat back,'" she told ABC Radio Hobart Mornings. Senator Lambie was eventually elected fifth, after a four-way contest for the final two seats between herself, re-elected Liberal senator Richard Colbeck, Labor, and One Nation's Lee Hanson, daughter of party founder Pauline Hanson. Senator Lambie said her campaign was hampered by a shortage of resources, lamenting a lack of money and volunteers. The Jacqui Lambie Network's 7.92 per cent vote share was down from the party's 2019 result of 8.92 per cent. It was also lower than in the 2022 election, when lead candidate Tammy Tyrell was elected. Senator Lambie put that down to Labor's campaign. "I don't think anything I could have done more or less of would have made any difference for me," she said. "I could see Labor coming home really strong, especially in that last two to two and a half weeks. In recent years, Senator Lambie has weighed in on some divisive Tasmanian issues, voicing strong views in her distinctive colourful way. At a 2023 rally opposing plans for a stadium on Hobart's waterfront, she told Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff to "stick it up your bum". She's also become a vocal opponent of salmon farming in Tasmanian waters. Senator Lambie denied these views have taken a toll on her popularity. She pointed to a majority of Tasmanians "against that stadium with the roof". Senator Lambie also defended her decision to run Jacqui Lambie Network candidates in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, saying it wasn't a distraction. Her candidates included former senator Rex Patrick, who joined the JLN as part of his attempt to win back the seat he lost in 2022. "They had to raise their own money … that did not come from me, they had to stand on their own two feet." The Jacqui Lambie Network won three seats at last year's Tasmanian state election, however the party imploded within months, with only one MP remaining. Senator Lambie, a former member of the Australian Army, said she was certain this would be her final Senate term. "We've just had a bit of a change to the doctor with my back and yeah, I am struggling a little bit physically from my time in service and under DVA (Department of Veterans Affairs). "I think it'll be 16 years [I've] done up by then. In her final term, Senator Lambie flagged pushing for Tasmanian issues, including the proposed Macquarie Point stadium and Tasmania's mounting debt, to feature on the national stage. "You can only print so much money, that really bothers me, especially for our children and our grandchildren," she said. She also said royalties earned from Western Australia's mining sector should be shared more evenly around the nation.
