A Queensland resident who hails from Tassie?
She really is starting well behind the pack.
Her giant intellect on show again this week....
The fact she thinks being described as a bogan * is a step up from what her family and friends call her should have been a give-away.
 
Palmer United Party Senator Jacqui Lambie is carrying our her duties on the foreign affairs and defence budget estimates committee. She has just asked the top brass of the Australian Defence Force about the prospect of Ebola infected suicide bombers being used against Australia.

Actually I thought her question was quite legitimate. In the current environment when you have defence chiefs sitting in front of you raising a question that many had thought of was a valid thing to do. Much better question than what you get 90% of the time during HoR Question Time.

Parents face jail and $34,000 fines under Jacqui Lambie's burqa ban proposal

Muslim parents would be fined tens of thousands of dollars and face jail if they make their teenage girls wear the burqa as part of Palmer United senator Jacqui Lambie's bid to outlaw the headwear in Australia, despite a Parliamentary research paper warning her proposed laws would likely be struck down by the High Court.

PUP leader Clive Palmer again distanced himself from his maverick senator on Tuesday and told the media Ms Lambie had not put her draft bill to the party and he had no idea what it contained.

Senator Lambie released her draft legislation to the media in a statement and claimed "once again our enemies will laugh at us" if the Parliament did not pass her bill.

She said "Any person who is deemed by a police officer to have worn any identity-concealing garments in public unlawfully will be issued with an on-the-spot [maximum] fine of $34,000," if her bill is passed.

In the unlikely event that the proposal is passed by Parliament and is upheld by the High Court, the Tasmanian senator would create two further offences that would see a person jailed for up to 12 months and fined $34,000 if they were found to have forced a woman or young girl to wear the burqa.

A Parliamentary Library research paper, which Senator Lambie requested and released to the media, includes the expert view of Professor Anthony Gray, who says "a law prohibiting a person from appearing in public whilst their face was covered would be difficult to justify".

Constitutional lawyers have previously told Fairfax Media a ban on the burqa would very likely violate section 116 of the constitution.

But Senator Lambie insisted the burqa was not a form of religious expression. "If you're talking about wearing the burqa it's not a religious item. If you read the Koran, it's not in the Koran," she told reporters on her way into Parliament.

Mr Palmer refused to say on Monday if Senator Lambie's bill was authorised by the PUP.

"I haven't seen it, I don't know what you're talking about ... I haven't seen anything about it, I havent heard anything about it, I would have to know about it before I could comment on it ... I wouldn't comment on it until I saw the legislation," he said.

Mr Palmer has previously said only he as leader announces party policy in an attempt to hose down Senator Lambie's more strident comments on the burqa and Islamic lawwhich she has claimed "involves terrorism".

Senator Lambie's draft legislation comes just a day after three men wearing a niqab, Ku Klux Klan hat and motorcycle helmet attempted to enter Parliament to protest against the burqa being allowed in the building. All three men were forced to remove their headcoverings.

Parliament's presiding officers recently backed down from a plan to force anyone in a niqab or burqa to sit in glass cages to watch question time. The interim order was issued to try and head off a rumoured protest which never eventuated. But it sparked a backlash because it came just days after the Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi requested the headwear be banned from Parliament.

A new ruling will see any Muslim woman asked to lift her veil for an identity check during normal screening. She would be allowed to cover her face while visiting Parliament's public areas. It is believed that there have been very few cases where Muslim women have attempted to wear burqas into Federal Parliament.

Amateur hour in parliament at it's finest.

People who think she's the real deal are the same people who thought (or younger generation people who would think in the 90s/00s) that we should have Pauline Hanson as PM 'cos she'd fix this country up.

It's going to be a long 5 years if she keeps coming up with stuff like this.

Jaqui would fit right in in the autocratic muslim soceities she apparently hates.

They punish people for not wearing a burqa in those soceities

How is prohibiting an article of clothing different to forcing people to wear it ?

She only has to move to Europe, France have banned it and a number of others are heading down the same path.

Why can one person walk into a bank wearing a burqa or naqib, but if I walk in wearing a ski mask I will be pounced on by security and the police? Cultural beliefs are fine, but when it gives one person the right to do something that someone else cannot do then it needs to be corrected.
