Jacqui Lambie has called for a return to the death penalty for terrorist acts.
In radio heaven for Triple M’s 'The Hot Breakfast' the ex-Palmer Untied and now Independent Senator told Eddie McGuire and Mick Molloy "those planning attacks against the military should face the harshest penalty".
"If there was a terrorist attack that killed my family I know what I would want to do and I wouldn't want them walking around on the streets or better still I don't want them in gaol because these cells grow and they're able to do that behind bars.
She conceded the policy probably wouldn't 'get up', but at least it showed she was serious "and that while the rest of you were out there tap dancing, there's not much else I can do about that". She said she would introduce a bill as soon as practicable.
She also said that Australian citizens who chose to go overseas and fight should have their citizenship cancelled: "We certainly don't want them back here on home soil. Full stop."
