Jacqui Lambie Biography

Jacqui Lambie is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 26, 1971 in Ulverstone, Australia. Jacquiline Louise Lambie (born 26 February 1971), known as Jacqui Lambie, is an Australian politician who is the leader and founder of the Jacqui Lambie Network (JLN). She served as a Senator for Tasmania from 2014 to 2017, and again from 2019 until now.

During a field exercise in July 1997, Lambie suffered injuries that resulted in severe back pain. After physiotherapy and medical interventions, she was unable to regain operational fitness and was discharged on medical grounds (thoracic pain) in 2000. She has since been an advocate for veterans with the Returned and Services League of Australia and involved in fundraising with the Burnie Chamber of Commerce, the Country Women’s Association and Rotary.

Lambie’s political involvement began in 2008 when she began working for Tasmanian Labor senator Nick Sherry.

In November 2011, she joined the Liberal Party of Australia and later decided to run for preselection for the Division of Braddon. However she subsequently left the Liberal Party, saying that the Liberals are a “boys’ club”, and she joined to “infiltrate” them to see what she could learn about politics.

1989. After basic training, she was assigned to the Royal Australian Corps of Transport in 1990. She remained with the Transport Corps for five years before being transferred to the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police, where she worked for another five years, achieving the rank of Corporal. Towards the conclusion of her military service, Lambie sustained a back injury during a field exercise, resulting in long-term detriments to her spine, and began receiving a military pension from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). She later applied for additional compensation on the grounds of claiming to suffer from depression, caused by her back pain. Following a private investigation, Lambie was accused of being a malingerer, and her pension was cancelled, prompting her to begin a six-year legal dispute with the DVA, beginning in 2000.

She met John Milverton while working in the Royal Australian Corps of Transport. They began a de facto marriage, where Milverton formally adopted Brentyn, and also went on to have another son, Dylan, born in 1992. Milverton and Lambie split shortly before her discharge from the Army in 2000. In August 2015, she went public with her 21-year-old son’s battle with methamphetamine addiction. She has also stated that she was addicted to pain medication and attempted suicide once.

Lambie enlisted in the Australian Army in 1989, where she served for over ten years, first in the transport corps, and subsequently as a military policewoman. She held the rank of Corporal, which all military police are given on completion of training.

Lambie fought the department’s conclusion for five years, during which time she was accepted for a Centrelink disability pension. In 2006, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal was about to rule on whether the video evidence was admissible in her case when DVA abandoned its use of the video and accepted that Lambie was entitled to compensation. The tribunal’s Deputy President, Justice Christopher Wright, concluded that “it is likely that even greater improvement would have been achieved a long time ago if her medical treatments, which were initially funded by the respondent, had not been terminated in 2001”.

In her first speech to Parliament in 2014, Lambie stated that, through her mother’s family, she shares “blood, culture, and history” with Aboriginal Australians, as a descendant of Mannalargenna, an Aboriginal Tasmanian leader. She later provided a family tree to Australian Story claiming descent from Margaret Briggs, a granddaughter of Mannalargenna who married into the Hite family. In 2002, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal had ruled that descent from Margaret Briggs was sufficient to meet the Aboriginal ancestry requirements for ATSIC elections. However, Lambie’s claims of Indigenous descent have been questioned by several sources including Australian Story, the Tasmanian Pioneer Index, and members of the Aboriginal community in Tasmania. Clyde Mansell, chairman of the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, stated they were “absolutely outrageous and scandalous”. Another Tasmanian elder, Roy Maynard, said that “she’s identified as Aboriginal, she’s got that right as far as I’m concerned”, and criticised Mansell for doubting her claims. The Parliamentary Library of Australia includes Lambie on its list of Indigenous parliamentarians.

In September 2014, Lambie announced plans to introduce a private member’s bill aimed at banning the burqa in Australia. However, constitutional expert Professor George Williams described the law as “unworkable, it would frankly be a bit silly”. She also attacked supporters of Islamic sharia law, describing them as “maniacs and depraved humans” who will not stop committing “cold-blooded butchery and rapes until every woman in Australia wears a burka”. However, when asked to explain her understanding of sharia law in an interview, she was unable to and instead said “it obviously involves terrorism”. According to ABC political reporter Andrew Greene, some commentators described the interview as a “train wreck”.
