Jacqui Lambie then speaks on salmon farming, which she says is a much bigger issue in Tasmania than people on the mainland realise:

I can tell you that salmon farming is a huge issue down here, and you will find that 65% of Tasmanians are against both of them. I would have thought they would have learned from a state election, when they thought these topics weren’t a hot potato, they’re very, very warm down here. All people are asking in Tasmania, those people who do – who do not want salmon farming, we’re asking those big corporations to push your nets out further in the sea, and get them out of Macquarie harbour.

Now, you know, that means they’ve got to take a hit, with their profits, so be it. But I tell you what – when you’re doing this at the expense of clean green Tasmania and its brand, I have a problem with that. So get those bloody nets and get them out in deep sea properly, so get them off the island, and also, um, get them, obviously, get them out of Macquarie harbour.

All they care about is making profits. They’re making those profits, on brand Tasmania. It’s not good enough. They’re not getting away with this any more. The people of Tasmania will win this argument. And yes, there will be votes that they will lose out there. Both those major parties. I tell you what, they’re not flying on the winds of the angels when it comes to salmon.

They take these donations from those salmon companies and have done for years. So you can’t believe a word they’re saying when it comes to salmon in Tasmania.

What we know, I’ve seen that sludge on our beaches. I’m seeing it in Macquarie harbour and so are the tourists. It’s time for the multinationals to make less profits and gets those god damn stinky fish out in deeper waters. That’s all we’re asking for.
