JACQUI LAMBIE

 

 

Honey producers not so sweet on Jacqui Lambie

 

 I would think the honeymoon is over for Jacquie Lambie amongst many Tasmanians.  She is a loose cannon and needs to be reigned in before she does even more damage to her home State and the rest of Australia.  Unfortunately she is there for 6 years.

Heard on News Radio this morning.

 

"Comments about China as an "aggressive, anti-democratic, totalitarian foreign power" have reportedly caused a buzz about Palmer United Party's Jacqui Lambie with some of her constituents.

 

Tasmanian honey producers have soured on their PUP senator, claiming they stand to lose out on vital export contracts.

Tasmanian Beekeepers Association spokesman Lindsay Bourke told the Mercury newspaper Sen Lambie's comments could hurt their industry.

Mr Burke says he also fears she has a poor understanding of Tasmania's clean and green credentials by advocating the use of bumblebees to pollinate tomatoes in the state's north.

"Bumblebees steal honey from hives and will act as a carrier if devastating varroa mite lands," he said.

"Our honey sells for 40 per cent more than mainland honey, one of the reasons (is) because we are GM-free and (it) comes out of rainforests.""

They are stuck with her for 8 years after which Lambie will retire on a generous pension

- she has been a user all her life.

Yes I do believe she is a loose canon, however I also believe that what she stated about China is very real

Yes, it may well be true what he said about China.   There are lot of things I know about people for instance;  but would I come out and say this to them...no I would not.  I have relations who are a right pain in the neck but I have to get along with them so I do.

There is a thing called "diplomacy" and this is why we have Diplomats to smooth the way with countries so we can all get along as best we can.

Clive Palmer did the wrong thing.

I don't disagree Radish
