Palmer United's Jacqui Lambie wants members of radical Islamic groups to be stripped of their right to vote and deported in a bid to combat home-grown terrorists. Prime Minister Tony Abbott is 'turning a blind eye' to the real threat of terrorists in our own backyard, as he sends our troops to fight them overseas, Senator Lambie says. If Islamic leaders who preach violence and allegiance to anti-democratic foreign powers are not allowed to stand for the Australian parliament, the next step should be introducing laws that mean such leaders are stripped of their citizenship and their right to vote, she said.
