Senator Jacqui Lambie revealed on radio this morning that she was looking for a man, but that she required him to be wealthy and well-endowed. Lambie spoke with hosts Kim and Dave’s from Heart FM, which prompted a phone call from one of its listeners. The supposedly “well endowed” young Tasmanian man hit on the United Senator and wanted to take Lambie out on a date.

The 22-year-old known as Jamie, a carpenter, said he doesn’t have a girlfriend. It started off as a joke, but he was very serious about catching up with Jacqui. He also stands by his claims and Lambie’s requirements in a man.

“I’d gladly like to meet her and go for breakfast,” he said. But, unfortunately for Jamie, Lambie now appears to have cold feet. The Senator said she was joking and apologized to anyone who was offended by her remarks.

“When Kim and Dave on Hobart’s Heart FM 107.3 this morning asked me about my love life in a light hearted segment — I tried to cover up my embarrassment by making a joke,” Lambie said. “A lot of people laughed — including the tradie I was talking to — some people may have got offended … I apologize to any radio listeners who may be offended by my comments on Kim and Dave’s show.”

The Senator went on to say that her political enemies would make a big deal out of her comments.

“But the reality is I was talking with Kim and Dave on Heart FM — not Sarah Ferguson on the ABC,” she said.

Lambie sparked controversy after appearing on Heart 107.3′s Kim and Dave Show this morning and revealing that she hasn’t been in a relationship in 11 years, but is open to love.

“They must have heaps of cash and they’ve got to have a package between their legs, let’s be honest,” Lambie said on air. “I don’t need them to speak, they don’t even need to speak.”

The 43-year-old politician and mother of two was then introduced to the 22-year-old listener named Jamie, who called into the Tasmanian radio show to express his interest in dating the Senator.

“Do you have plenty of cash?” Lambie asked Jamie. “I’m just a bit concerned that at 22 years of age and living in Tasmania you might not be quite there yet?” Jamie assured her he does have plenty of cash.

Jacqui Lambie then asked, “I’m just a bit concerned because you’re so young, I’m not sure you’d be able to handle Jacqui Lambie.” Jamie assured her he could. And that’s when she asked the really important question, “Are you well-hung?”

Jamie assured her he is … “like a donkey”.

The radio hosts, Kim Napier and Dave Noonan, then suggested that Jamie and Jacqui go on a date, which she reluctantly agreed to.

“Maybe a breakfast date,” Lambie said, before adding, “I can see my 24-year-old son now, he’d be cringing by now.”
