Jacqui Lambie seems to be having a very fun time in this election campaign. She has just spoken to ABC’s Afternoon Briefing about the need for a parliamentary inquiry into Australia’s strategic arrangement with the United States (AUKUS) and why she isn’t worried if it would up set the US:

Why should we not have an inquiry? With all the stuff going on, it doesn’t matter if we upset them, quite frankly they don’t care about that. It’s a good way to – what does our friendship look like? What does mateship look like? These are broad terms of reference. I don’t want to miss anything out. For people to put their opinion forward and see – especially those experts, where they think – what do they think the relationship looks like in a year’s time?

Let’s have a shot at it.

Right now we’re going through quite a rough patch because of what’s happened with Trump, they’re not with the people themselves, of course. We need to put this under a magnifying glass and see where do we sit, where does it look like. We need to do something. Let’s have a good look at our relationship with the USA and get it out on the table.
