Tasmania news: No agreement on Jacqui Lambie's housing debt deal.   :(

August 4 2019
ABC News


A month after independent Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie agreed to vote for the Federal Government's tax plan there is still no agreement on wiping out Tasmania's public housing debt in return.   :(

Senator Lambie last month told the Morrison Government her vote on its controversial tax plan would be in return for some relief of Tasmania's $157 million public housing debt.

Senator Lambie ended up voting for the tax plan on the condition that negotiations to wipe out the housing debt would continue.

A spokeswoman for the senator today confirmed negotiations were ongoing with no agreement yet reached.

The Tasmanian Bogan always has the hand out. Classic independent.

Maybe ScoMo has double crossed her.

The RBA lowered interest rates which helps house debt.

The trouble is Tassie was ruined by the loony Greenies so there are no jobs.

Poor old Gweggy gets SO frustrated when his tired mind just cannot understand anymore.

"Senator Lambie ended up voting for the tax plan on the condition that negotiations to wipe out the housing debt would continue."

And negotiations will continue.

They won't result in anything, but the negotiations will continue.

Even juliar knew that the happy clapping clown was gonna double cross Jacqui on this one.

Gweggy is trying to sound intelligent - didn't work. The poor coot just can't understand things anymore.

I'm appalled that Lambie would fold and take a 'we'll continue to negotiate' as an affirmative answer, and then meekly sign up for the tax cuts.

Obviously she was not Airborne.... sorry 'bout that.....

But you don't know what went on behind the scenes.

Jacqui is just trying to impress her electorate.

Maybe ScoMo has dudded her ?

Then Tassie is in such a mess that the Lib govt is trying to sort out.

The moral of the story: NEVER, EVER trust the Liberals!

The Coalition would be mad to horse trade on State Debt and what sort of precedent would this set for future negotiations in the Senate ....The Coalition even contemplating such an idea shows deceit and manipulation are common place with this mob as the Morrison Government will never concede to Lambie's demands now she has already voted on the legislation....The half wit slapper has been duped by Scumo into thinking there is a commitment were there is none....Lambie has sold out her electorate and the people of Australia for nothing!!!

Lambie's not very politically astute. If she was, she would already be threatening to vote against all government legislation until this housing debt issue was sorted - and then actually doing so.

The government's probably going to string her on for a year or two. They're trying to conjure a surplus by any means necessary.

That's why Don Chip called them "Bastards", because it's what they are, with a capital "B"

I reckon you all are barking up the wrong tree.

The Libs need Jacqui and she needs the Libs so they are not going to fall out.

This story is probably just made up to create a bit of excitement.

The Libs have the big union bashing bill coming up that I think Jacqui supports.



Lambie piles pressure on Setka to quit
Phillip Coorey Jul 25, 2019 — 12.01am

Key crossbench Senator Jacqui Lambie says she might vote for a controversial bill to facilitate the deregistration of unions and officials if John Setka remains at the helm of the Victorian division of the CFMEU.

With Labor resolved to opposing the Ensuring Integrity Bill, which the government says is necessary to deal with rogue unions and officials, the decision now rests with the Senate crossbench, which is being lobbied by both sides of the argument.

Senator Jacqui Lambie: "It's no secret I have concerns about the behaviour of certain members of the trade union movement.'' Dominic Lorrimer

In an exchange on Wednesday in Canberra, Senator Lambie told ACTU president Michele O'Neil "you got a problem with the IR bill and it's called John Setka''.

Senator Lambie later told The Australian Financial Review "it's no secret I have concerns about the behaviour of certain members of the trade union movement''.

She said she had relayed this to Mr Setka and others.

Something the Libs and their lackeys never understand.

In government, they want to run the country like a dictatorship.

In opposition, they resort to any tactics to frustrate a government's agenda, including reneging on pairing agreements and blocking supply.

Their hypocrisy is astounding.

Already written to Jack about that - beware trashing the Union movement - at your own peril  - firstly at the peril of all those who voted you in, then the same when you betray them and their wages and conditions of work are undercut .... then they'll hang you.

The last thing we need is another Hanson - all talk and Fatal Kow-Tow...

What will Jacqui get in exchange for passing the Union Bashing Bill ?

A dam on the Franklin River in Tassie ?

Leverage for canceling a debt to the Fed for housing in Tasmania.

I consider attacking Unions to be social and economic vandalism, and that is hardly compensation for selling out your fellow peasants.. it seems that a few days back in the comfy seat is enough to corrupt any politician.... they develop the hubris of 'us and them' - us the well-heeled and comfy, and them the peasants who are not good enough to make it like I did......

All glory is fleeting, Imperator...... all glory is fleeting...

Like I alwys say libbos are liars. Don't bend over in the shower in front of them :(

ScoMo shouldn't have messed with Jacqui, she has a vicious streak.
