You’ve heard Senator Jacqui Lambie’s comments about wanting a rich, ‘well-hung’ lover.
You’ve heard her cause massive controversy when she asked veterans to turn away from ministers on Remembrance Day in protest over ADF pay.
You’ve probably also heard she resigned from the Palmer United Party last month after she publicly criticised the party’s leader, Clive Palmer.
It’s fair to say the 43-year-old senator and Tasmanian mum-of-two, who now sits as an independent, has never exactly shied away from controversy. But she’s just given her most revealing interview yet — and she’s made some observations about Botox, being single and even Tony Abbott’s balls (yep, really) that you should probably know about.
So, today, we bring you the four most revealing moments from Sen Lambie’s interview with Australian Women’s Weekly. You’re welcome.
1. When she said Tony Abbott is “going to have to grow a pair.”
Prime Minister Tony Abbott twice cancelled plans to meet with Sen Lambie before Christmas, and she’s not happy about it.
Sen Lambie told Australian Women’s Weekly the Prime Minister has “no guts” — and a deep fear of women stemming from his education at an all-boys’ school.
“Females scare the crap out of him but he’s going to have to grow a pair because he has to deal with me,” she said.
She also said that that it was Chief Of Staff Peta Credlin, not Tony Abbott, who “wears the pants” in the Prime Minister’s office.

The best thing to come out of this WW interview was the makeover! I know I'll get eyerolls for saying that but seriously, she's not wearing yellow or Barbie pink lipstick together - win! And yes, if it was a male politician that WW had made over I'd be commenting too.
Well, her language is colourful but in whats quoted above, there is nothing really outrageous.Its speculation that she admires Pauline Hanson, and even if she does, its not clear what exactly she would agree with. You have to admit she's got a point about Abbott.
