And in all her soul-searching,Lambie declared"my rule throughout this whole process has been that if it's on the front page of the newspaper and it's anything to do with medevac,it's probably not worth reading".
Nevertheless,she had reached a decision.
"I put up to the government a proposal to work with me on,to secure my support for the passage of the repeal of medevac,"said Lambie,seconds after government Senate leader Mathias Cormann had maintained stoutly and implausibly that there had been no deal with Lambie at all and there was no secret about anything.
