Media Statement Privileged Liberal Royals have taken over Australia - 5.6.14 Senator Elect for Tasmania and Palmer United spokesperson for Veterans’ Affairs Jacqui Lambie has supported party Leader Clive Palmer who criticized the amount of political influence held by the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff and has called for the elite group of Liberal Royals, who have taken over the nation, to be held to account for the damage their budget will cause to ordinary Australians. “I have little sympathy for Peta Credlin. She is part of a small, elite group of Liberals who have taken over Australia - and they have caused unnecessary misery and heartache for millions of ordinary Ozzies. Ms Credlin is one of the leaders of the group of largely unelected Liberal Royals (which includes her husband, Brian Loughnane the National Director of the Liberal Party as well as Abbott’s personal friend, journalist Andrew Bolt) who should be held to account because of the extraordinary power they hold and the life destroying policies they promote.” said Senator Elect Lambie “The Liberal Royals have lied their way into office - and have now set about making Australia into a place of haves, mainly in our Capital Cities - and have-nots in regional and country communities. In every state and territory the Liberal Royals have choked the political life out of the Nationals who have lost their voice. The fire for the bush, in Barnaby Joyce’s belly has been doused by the perks of ministerial office - and Warren Truss has betrayed the bush and become a liberal mouthpiece. “ Senator Elect Lambie said. “The Nationals no longer have the ability, will, courage or intelligence to speak out about the unfair treatment and injustice that has been forced on country and regional Australia. The latest news (1) that the Liberals tricked the Nationals on fuel excise is proof of the Royal takeover. Apart from the move to reintroduce knighthoods and the unnecessary changes to Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act that Sir Andrew Bolt (2) has ordered - the evidence for the capital city Liberals’ Royal takeover is obvious, abundant and should be clear to all. The Liberals $5.5B Paid Parental Leave scheme will deliver the most benefits to the Liberal elite in Australia’s capital cities. The majority of infrastructure king Tony’s $50B (3) public works budget is being spent on Australia’s Capital City road networks – and it’s being paid for by the misery of ordinary Australians who are sick, poor, on welfare, have children at school or Uni, - and those who live outside Australia’s capital cities. In Tasmania the Liberals have been forced to disclose that they abolished about $10M worth of state payroll tax (4) and created a special economic zone for one company to relocate a call center to our state’s capital city.And while I’m glad they’ve adopted my idea for one company in one capital city, let’s protect jobs and do the same favor for more local businesses who employ workers in other Tasmanian regional cities.” said Senator Elect Lambie.
