Your safety in Jacqui Lambie's hands Senator Jacqui Lambie, September: BARRIE CASSIDY: And do you feel the Government's got a handle on the terrorism issue at home? JACQUI LAMBIE: I believe it's heading in the right direction, absolutely. Yep, but it certainly needs to put its foot down. There's no 50 per cent here. It needs to go in hard and it needs to go in fast. BARRIE CASSIDY: And do you think then the Government can rely on Palmer United as they introduce the new laws this week? JACQUI LAMBIE: I would certainly hope so, yes. They can certainly rely on me - we'll put it that way. Jacqui Lambie yesterday: A THIRD tranche of counter-terrorism laws passed the Senate yesterday, despite independent senator Jacqui Lambie voting against expanding the Australian Defence Force's capability to combat terrorism... The Tasmanian senator, who has repeatedly accused her political opponents of being untrustworthy, complained the legislation had been rushed through parliament after only four weeks" scrutiny. "As a legislator I want to be careful I don't unwittingly get rushed again and again by the government to pass laws only to find out at the end of it we now have a police state," she said. The legislation will enable Australia's foreign spy agency ASIS to co-operate with the ADF on intelligence matters and military operations overseas. It also expands the scope of Australian Federal Police control orders and enables certain intelligence agencies, including ASIS, to launch emergency operations without government approval.
