Senator Jacqui Lambie - your reason for sabotaging the Morrison Government's efforts?
Final supporters
Foreword: the initiator of this petition, Peter Forde, is NOT politically active, does NOT support any particular political party and has for over ten years publicly asserted that the Australian political system is broken due, primarily, to a widespread lack of strong moral standards within all political parties and Australia’s bureaucracy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Statement:
Senator Jacqui Lambie (and Senator Pauline Hanson - see separate petition at https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pauline-hanson-explain) have together thwarted the Morrison Government's attempt to rein in Australian unions, make them more accountable and and bring them under appropriate legislative control.
According to news reports, Senator Lambie was attempting to force the Morrison Government to include in the proposed legislation provisions that she - and only she - wanted.
It appears that Senator Lambie voted against the proposed legislation only because she did not get what she wanted.
Even worse, Senator Lambie has refused to publicly state what were the provisions that she demanded be included in the bill.
We the undersigned deeply concerned citizens herewith publicly request Senator Lambie to clearly and publicly state the complete details of her demand(s).
We also ask Senator Lambie to explain how our nation as a whole benefits from her deliberately preventing proposed legislation that would bring out-of-control, too-powerful unions under control and oblige their being held responsible for their actions.
We request that, by December 15, 2019, Senator Lambie post on the home page of her web site a clear, non political-speak statement that answers, in complete detail, our request.
Upon our viewing Senator Lambie’s explanation - her self-defense in the “Court of Public Opinion” - we the people shall be in a position to informedly, honestly and fair-mindedly judge the matter.
A refusal by Senator Lambie to both promptly and clearly comply with this public request shall be deemed to be her admission of wrongdoing, potentially greviously harmful to all Australians who do not support Australia's current form of out-of-control unionism.

I am currently drafting a formal letter to Senator Lambie outlining the specific questions raised in this petition. This document will serve as our primary correspondence for her office to address. I will provide a summary of her response or lack thereof once the delivery period concludes.

The growth of this petition indicates a clear demand for transparency from the Senator regarding her legislative negotiations. I am currently drafting a formal letter to her office requesting a public disclosure of the specific provisions she demanded. This document will serve as our primary reference when I follow up with the local media outlets that have contacted me.

Can you explain what is going on here, Jacqui? Anything that reduces union thuggery and power has to be good, no?
We are a nation over governed, though, governed by self serving fools. As tax payers, we are entitled to be given an explanation for such unpredictable behaviour. We pay your wages, so speak up.
Transparency please!
You and your crony Pauline would be better off out of Parliament and then we may get in people with some integrity.
It is important that we are very selective who we allow in to our country with all the terrorist problems in the world. I am for helping people, but there is a limit and too many at present to overload our infrastructure and so many out of work. These people are trained u in what they can receive and how to get what they want, legally or not, can be devious in working the system. Still getting better care than where they came from; even better than some Australians living here already. We have so many homeless people and others that need help already in this country. So many out of work and under hardship. I actually lived out of my car for over 4 years after loosing my home through Westpac loan and GFC complications.
Another sad story of misdirected trust in politics.
