Just 21 per cent of Australians trust members of Federal Parliament, but while Senator Jacqui Lambie backs that statistic she also wants Australians to trust her own secret deals.
Independent Senator Jacqui Lambie has in one breath agreed it's hard to trust politicians in the current environment, while in the next telling the Australian public to trust her.Independent analysis revealed public trust in the Australian government has dropped eight points in eight years
The show began with a question from a teenage member of the audience about trust in politicians and was followed a primary school teacher asking how they can get children to trust elected officials when the teachers themselves don't."Trust comes with leadership and in this country we're lacking leadership," Senator Lambie said."I don't trust a lot of them [politicians] either, so that's not helping.
"We have got a report that they won't release. If there is nothing wrong with that report and there is nothing to see here, then release it."But Senator Lambie then came under fire herself from an audience member for voting with the Government against the Medevac bill, which could allow refugees potentially lifesaving treatment.
