It’s been almost a decade since Jacqui Lambie dramatically quit the Palmer United Party.  

Since then, she’s become a political force in Canberra and in her home state of Tasmania as the leader of the Jacqui Lambie Network. 

At the last federal election, Lambie’s longtime staffer Tammy Tyrrell won a senate spot – and at the last Tasmanian election, just a few months ago, the party won three seats.

But now, the JLN is imploding, after Tyrrell resigned and two of the three Tasmanian MPs were sacked.

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on the allegations Lambie spied on her colleagues and why she hasn’t been able to hold the party together.
