Labor stands for safe, secure, well-paid jobs.

Jacqui Lambie’s smear campaign against Tasmanian salmon workers is nothing short of disgraceful.

Her recent attacks are not only reckless, but completely devoid of understanding for the 5,000 hard-working people in the industry.

Senator Lambie is trying to undermine the efforts of thousands who rely on the salmon industry to support their families, for political purposes during her election campaign. She has effectively attacked the independent scientists who regulate the industry.

It’s clear her words are driven by a desire for headlines.

Tasmanian salmon workers deserve respect, not baseless attacks from a Senator who should know better.
