Each of the three Jacqui Lambie Network MPs need to say whether they back their leader Jacqui Lambie’s calls for Deputy Premier Michael Ferguson to resign.
Michael Ferguson was a disaster as Health Minister. The new Spirts project is the biggest infrastructure stuff up in Tasmanian history, and he’s just handed down a record budget deficit as Treasurer. He has now been accused of misleading a Parliamentary inquiry and sacking the Spirits boss in a desperate attempt to keep him quiet.
The three Jacqui Lambie Network MPs were elected on a platform of transparency and accountability. Their voters wanted fighters who would hold the government’s feet to the fire.
It’s time for the Jacqui Lambie Network MPs to decide: do they have confidence in the calls made by their leader Jacqui Lambie, or do they have confidence in Michael Ferguson?
Are they the Jacqui Lambie Network, or Just Liberals Now?
