Yeah, yeah, politics, but this about Jacqui Lambie makes it a very unusual guest for a light entertainment show, credit to wikipedia.

In October 2014, Lambie stated in a radio interview with ABC Radio National that she liked Vladimir Putin, saying: "I think he has very strong leadership. He has great values. He's certainly doing his bit to stamp out terrorism and I guess you've got to pay the man for that." In February 2015, Lambie called for the reintroduction of the death penalty for Australian citizens who leave the country to become foreign fighters.

In October 2016, she called for a pre-emptive pardon for any defence personnel accused of war crimes against the Taliban or Islamic State, on the grounds that Taliban and Islamic State fighters were not entitled to the protection of the rules of war or international human rights because of their "subhuman behaviour and vile, disgusting culture and ideology".

In September 2014, Lambie announced plans to introduce a private member's bill aimed at banning the burqa in Australia. 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". 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". In February 2017, she introduced a private member's bill which would amend the Criminal Code Act 1995 to make it illegal to wear full face coverings in public places when a terrorism threat declaration is in force, unless it was necessary for certain purposes.

In January 2017, she said that Australia should follow Donald Trump's lead in his order to restrict entry of citizens of certain Muslim-majority countries to the US. She called for deporting from Australia all Muslims who supported Sharia law, as well as deporting everyone on the ASIO terror watch list, or at least charging them with treason or sedition.

In an interview with ABC News in 2018, Lambie distanced herself from her previous views on Sharia law, stating that she "didn't want to be divisive" and that she was influenced by "a previous advisor that was really driving that in".

Following her involvement in the TV show Go Back to Where You Came From in 2018 where she was placed in a Syrian warzone, Lambie shifted towards a pro-refugee stance, stating that "the discussion (about accepting more refugees) needs to be on the political table".

On 22 August 2024, Lambie was accused by fellow Senator Mehreen Faruqi of anti Muslim sentiment during a parliamentary debate over Australia's granting of visas for Palestinians. "I had to sit here and listen to Senator (Jacqui) Lambie attack and vilify Muslims and she couldn't even pronounce my name", she claimed on SBS News.

Please listen to the conversation between Breaion and the cop while they are driving.

Some of the most outstandingly racist things you could here, and that's from the 'reasonable' police office.

Black people have violent tendencies? That's his base assumption. It is the fault of the black people that white people are scared of them? Yeah, ok. A complete ignorance of history, economics and psychology - and that is the guy who is meant to serve and protect you.

This film suffers from a lack of focus, but the message is very clear.

It is astonishing how many reviews on this website think that the way that arrest went down was reasonable.

It simply isn't.

I agree it is a very difficult job to be a police person. I couldn't do it. And that's why I don't. If you can't treat people humanely because you're scared, don't be a policeman.
