Clive Palmer accuses Jacqui Lambie of supporting Defence Veterans Party The Palmer Party debacle - is this the end for Clive? And just how much does Jacqui Lambie stand to lose? The panel debate. CLIVE Palmer has accused Jacqui Lambie of deception and of trying to use both his party and the nation's veterans to boost her own profile, suggesting she wanted to defect to the Australian Defence Veterans party. In an extraordinary statement, Mr Palmer says Ms Lambie has met with Pauline Hanson and takes aim at her hiring of Queenslanders over Tasmanians. LAMBIE: The Brick "used as standover man" He referred to the Australian Defence Veterans Party as the "Lambie Party." "Senator Lambie flew at the cost and expense of the Palmer United Party to Queensland and South Australia to visit veterans groups," he said in a statement. She also met with Pauline Hanson. "Up until four days ago, the positions of president and vice-president of the "Lambie Party" was shown as vacant, but they were suddenly removed from the website when Senator Lambie realised the game was up." Mr Palmer accused Senator Lambie of supporting the party in January, adding that she was a "paid, full-time employee of the Palmer United Party" at the time. "The question remains was she receiving disability payments from the Commonwealth for being unable to work while receiving a full time salary at the same time from the Palmer United Party?" he said. Senator Jacqui Lambie has confrrmed her split from the Palmer United Party to sit as an independent. Mr Palmer also says Senator Lambie "received only 1500 odd votes herself." "She completed her deception by seeking to establish a public profile by using Palmer United to create conflict that did not exist and lied repeatedly to the media about her colleagues," he said. She continues to act dishonestly and lie about me and other party members to gain media attention. Senator Lambie's actions just seek to undermine the interests of the Australian people in preference to her own. In a move likely to enrage Senator Lambie, Mr Palmer has also accused her - and her chief of staff Rob Messenger - of using veterans to "gain political support." "Senator Lambie and her cohorts have never seen active military service and they just seek to use the veterans to gain political support so Senator Lambie's mastermind Messenger, a Queenslander, can stand for a Tasmanian senate seat," he said. He later added: "Tasmanians and veterans should not be fooled to support such people of little character who have never acted to improve the lot of veterans," he said.
