Never met him, but has read his books. I suppose that qualifies her as an expert on all things Abbott. Lambie enlisted in the Australian Army in 1989, spending over ten years in the Australian Army specialising in transport management and military policing. She achieved the lofty rank of corporal but at one point was charged and reduced in rank after assaulting a fellow soldier while intoxicated. I suppose her extensive military experience and training in close personal protection also qualifies her to speak on matters of security as it relates to the PM's daughters too!

She's a joke and should've kept her mouth shut rather than show everyone how little she understands because clearly the AFP, which is charged with the safety and security of the PM and his family would've never put his daughters knowingly into a dangerous situation.

I doubt you need to be a mental giant to understand that if a Pollie parades their adult children around during an election campaign, they are attracting attention which would not otherwise arise.  Lambie's basic point holds water ~ Abbott was willing to risk adverse attention to his Family to flog his political ambitions.
