Party United Party senator Jacqui Lambie has vowed to oppose all government legislation in the Senate until a better deal on pay and benefits is reached for Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel.
The Defence Remuneration Tribunal this weekconfirmed Defence personnel would get a pay rise of 1.5 per cent a year for three years.
With inflation at 2.3 per cent, that amounts to a wage cut in real terms.
Senator Lambie said the pay deal, as well as what she calls an attempt by the Abbott Government to strip entitlements from veterans, "must be opposed and fought" in the Senate.
"Ordinarily, I would never use one bad government decision as a reason to block a number of pieces of unrelated legislation," Senator Lambie said in a statement.
"However, this decision by Mr Abbott's team to effectively strip money and holiday entitlements away from all members of Australia's defence force is extraordinary in its timing, arrogance and level of political cruelty."
What do you think about Senator Lambie's decision to oppose all government legislation? Have your say.

She said she would "fight fire with fire" and reply in an "extraordinary" way.
"I will vote to defeat all Abbott Government legislation until they stop using Anzac and Remembrance days as photo opportunities and ADF members as extras in a Liberal Party promotional film."
