If you are well hung and rich ask her out..... she's available apparently.


But seriously, that's the system we have, ordinary people from small parties getting a senate seat.
Some don't know the game...... yet.

This is a really fascinating situation.

Jacqui Lambie was probed on an FM radio station about her grooming habits (waxing, bikini line, etc) and sex life... very personal questions that were definitely sexist in nature and probably would never have been directed at a male politician.

Lambie was obviously caught off-guard and responded by attempting to crack a couple of jokes to deflect from the personal nature of the questioning... jokes that were very sexist and would have been considered extremely unacceptable had they come from a male politician directed at a woman.

It raises an interesting point about what is apparently considered acceptable double standard in terms of the sexist line of questioning and Lambie's jokingly sexist response.

Supporters would probably say she and Muir provide bogans with a voice in Parliament but I'd suggest she and Ricky Muir are both unsuitable and very unprepared for politics.

Would you say the same of the greens?
Just curious.

Pretty poor performance IMO, if it was a male politician who stated he wanted a woman with a big rack there would be hell to pay.
If I was a Tasmanian I'd be pretty disappointed that she is representing my states interests in parliament.

Here I was thinking Ricky Muir was the worst of the new senators, and along comes Jaqui.

She's discussing waxing her private parts
Hasn't had a relationship for 8-11 years
Wants to date someone rich and well hung
Says her son is well hung

She's a senator deciding on important matters, the future of our country, how and where our money is spent, she should be an example for young people - but she is nothing more than an unhinged, foul mouthed bogan. I wouldn't trust her to drive a taxi, let alone drive legislation through the senate.

6 years with this idiot @ +$200,000 p.a, our electoral system is broken.

The double standards and hypocrisy are amazing. If a male had said something similar about a female there'd be outrage, Tony Abbott winks or looks at his watch and he's a misogynist !

Politicians are all robots right? Jaquie should pay the radio jock for helping her get more popular!
