Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024

Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (21:02): Well, well, well. I have to say I'm rather offended. The only way I got up here, the only way I was given an opportunity as a normal Aussie out there, was by billionaire Clive Palmer.

Are you now saying to me that after 10 years in this place I do not belong here? Is that what you're saying—that that opportunity was given to me and that you're going to take it off everyone else and that I haven't earnt my way up here? By God, I'm offended.

Why don't you answer that one?
