Hey John,
******************

I hope those of you who can - are having a break. If you’re
working, thank you and good on you! I hope everyone gets time
with their loved ones.

I am so glad to be back home for a bit. It’s a been a busy year,
but we got some wins!

Senator Tyrrell pushed hard and got more houses into the
governments housing investment fund.

And, after months of pushing, Senator Pocock and I got the
Minister to split the Industrial relations bill. You might know
it as the ‘closing loopholes’ bill. As I have been saying for the
last three months, this was a big bill. It makes sense to get
some of parts of it across the line, so we have time to go
through the rest of it. As part of the split, the Minister agreed
to an independent inquiry on ComCare, it has many of the same
problems as DVA and those issues need to be fixed.

From January 1st; Federal Responders won’t have to prove they
have PTSD to get help, victims of family and domestic violence
can’t be discriminated against at work, Silica will be treated
like asbestos and larger businesses facing insolvency will still
have to fork out for staff redundancy payments. Industrial
manslaughter is now a federal criminal offence and big companies
like QANTAS won’t be able to use Labour Hire firms to fix
different rates of pay for the same job.

The other bits of the bill, the gig economy, casual work and road
transport need more time. In my speech in the Senate – which you
can see here ( [link removed] ) , I thanked the Red team and the Blue team. The Coalition joined
the cross bench to push for the bill to be split, and then the
Government came to the table. That’s what Tammy and I do, we work
with everyone across the parliament. I believe that’s what
Australians expect, we are paid by the Australian people and it’s
our job to get things done.

I had a great day at the Richmond Bicentennial, and introduced
the media to Troy Pfitzner, Lesley Pyecroft and Andrew Jenner,
the Jacqui Lambie Network’s candidates for Lyons.

If you live in Lyons or just want to support us, please give them
a like or follow on Facebook!

* Andrew's Facebook

If you see them out and about go say hello! Troy is a small
business owner; Lesley is a nurse and Andrew is an ex-magistrate.

They are good people with real life experience who will hold the
major parties to account.

There are strong rumours that Tassie will go to a state election
early next year. Choosing the date isn’t up to us, but these guys
are ready!

My team has been working hard so the Burnie office will be closed
22 Dec 2023 – 2 Jan 2024.

If your family has an emergency – numbers are here

In the meantime, have a great Christmas everyone, and please stay
safe.

All my love,

Jacqui!

P.S - If you want a fun gift idea for Christmas, I'm selling 'Jac
Pacs' on my store ( [link removed] ) . They include my first ever official stubbie holders - signed
of course! We're only selling 50 of them, so they're very likely
to sell out. Check it out here!
