Quotes attributable to Senator Jacqui Lambie:
“It’s been a long couple of weeks, but the Tasmanian people have spoken and it’s great for our state.

First, I would like to thank all the JLN Candidates who put their hands up to serve, and all of our supporters and volunteers who worked so hard.

For too long the major parties have taken the Tasmanian people for granted, that time is over.

The JLN team promised to bring integrity and transparency to our Tasmanian parliament – and that is what Rebekah Pentland (BASS), Miriam Beswick (BRADDON), and Andrew Jenner (LYONS), will do.”

Quote attributable to Rebekah Pentland:
“I am honoured and grateful to the people of Bass for electing me. Integrity, transparency, and accountability will be the bedrock of my service. I hear you! Your voices will be at the forefront of my decisions.

With your trust, I pledge to lead with honesty and openness, ensuring that your concerns and interests are not just heard but acted upon.
Thank you for entrusting me with this privilege to serve the people of Bass.”

Quote attributable to Miriam Beswick:
“Thank you, Braddon for putting your trust in me.

Tasmania has selected a great JLN team and working together we will work hard to see the best outcomes for our state.

I look forward to representing the people of Braddon and see growth and prosperity in our amazing community.”

Quote attributable to Andrew Jenner:
“I’m deeply indebted the people of Lyons who supported me. “Thank you” seems such an inadequate word for how I feel, I’m truly honoured to represent you.

The JLN team, have always pledged to bring transparency, accountability and putting people before politics into parliament, and that’s what we intend to do to the best of our ability.”
