    I'm not sure, but with this threat isn't Lambie going against her obligation to vote in the best interests of her electorate?
    If she is making a blanket decision to reject all legislation, regardless of its content, then I'd think she is just not doing her job.

    She was not elected just to espouse her own vendettas and personal grudges. It's about time some senior person took her aside and put her right about her obligations.

    Meantime, Clive is non-committal about her silly behaviour. He's no doubt waiting to see if the idea gains traction, in which case he'll decide to climb on her bandwagon, but if (as looks likely) she is right out there on her own, he will disown her at least on this.

    Hard to see this particular loved-up relationship lasting too much longer.

    Was Pauline Hanson ever quite this stupid? Doesn't seem like it in retrospect, but perhaps she was.

    If nothing else, Lambie's woeful ignorance and disregard for proper behaviour should prompt the two major parties to overhaul the Senate voting system so that never again can people with a tiny % of the vote gain so much power, not to mention being so generously paid by the taxpayer for a ridiculously long initial period.
