Watch the full speech: Jacqui Lambie blasts Pauline Hanson’s vaccine discrimination bill

Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie has ferociously attacked One Nation’s vaccine discrimination bill and the party's leader, Pauline Hanson. Lambie blasted the suggestion that people who are unvaccinated are discriminated against, saying people have choices, and those choices have consequences. 'You have a choice,' she said. 'And I support that choice. But you don't get to decide how the rest of Australia responds to that choice.' Lambie also accused One Nation of using the bill as a 'fundraising exercise'. 'The problem is politicians like Senator Hanson and Senator (Malcolm) Roberts are using people’s fear to boost their own election campaigns, and they are using fear to make money, and that’s what this is about from One Nation.' The bill was later rejected by the Senate, despite five government senators crossing the floor.
