Australian senator Jacqui Lambie has been banned from Qantas planes for six months after referring to the airline’s gay CEO with a homophobic slur in an explosive argument with staff.
The controversial Tasmanian politician launched into an unhinged rant in March when she was unable to access the airline’s invitation-only luxury Chairman’s Lounge.
CCTV footage of the expletive-laden outburst shows her telling employees “your CEO is a p f” and boasting about something she called her “p sy power”.
The Tasmanian senator has since apologised for the incident, saying her behaviour was “totally uncalled for and totally unacceptable”.
Damien Cook had no idea how painful the Australian anthem and Australia Day celebrations were for Indigenous people – until he spoke to Latrell Mitchell.
