“In concluding – it’s hard to ignore the historic and unprecedented political events unfolding in America right now.

Its more than likely that President Obama will be replaced by President Trump – and that opens the door to some great opportunities for Tasmania and Australia.

I congratulate President Trump, his family and team. He’s a straight talker and we need more straight talkers in politics.

I note that President Trump is opposed to the TPP trade deal – which undermines Australia’s sovereignty – and I simply say let’s do a trade deal with American that benefits both our countries – after all we’re great friends and share a love of democracy and freedoms.” said Senator Lambie
