The Tasmanian senator is asked for her budget thoughts, but then is asked about the salmon industry and the legislation the government is trying to ram through the parliament so that it (and other industries) can avoid environmental protection laws.

Lambie does not hold back. David Speers might need a bit of a Bex and a laydown after this:

Both the major parties have not backed the right sides when it comes to the AFL stadium that they want built and want to generate money, wasting taxpayers’ money and salmon farming. They’re on the wrong side, there are 65% of Tasmanians that do not want salmon farming going on in Tasmania, they want it pushed into the coastal waters further or doing it on land.

It’s not a lot for ask for multi-nationals that have been down there, three years they’ve paid no tax and in the mean time your taxpayers money is spending $37 million because we don’t have a problem in Macquarie Harbour according to the PM but we’re spending $37 million of your money over the next 12 months to put oxygen into it and we’re not making the multinationals pay for the crimes and the dirt and filth in the harbour in Tasmania.
