Tasmanian senator Tammy Tyrrell has announced she is resigning from the Jacqui Lambie Network and will sit on the crossbench as an independent.
“As it is now clear that the Network does not have confidence in my ability to contribute to that success, I do not wish to do anything in my advocacy for Tasmania that might harm it.”
The JLN picked up two seats, with the possibility of winning three, at the recent Tasmanian state election, with the new members likely to play a significant balance of power role in the new parliament.
“You don’t stick with someone that long if you are not a believer in the message and the good she is doing for the state,” Ms Tyrrell said in 2022.
Election analyst Kevin Bonham said it was another example of minor parties being unstable in the Senate, and flagged it could now be an issue in the Tasmanian parliament.
“That problem is going to be extra strained by the fact that the new Lambie members in the Tasmanian parliament are going to be thrust into a position of great power and a lot of instability.”
