As of yesterday, Senator Lambie has become Tasmania's embarrassment.

On Hobart commercial radio, Senator Lambie revealed that she had been single for 11 years but was still looking for love.

Harmless enough you might think.

Then, as an Australian Senator and a Tasmanian leader, she discussed her pubic hair and then told the world that her ideal man must have "heaps of cash and they've got to have a package between their legs," and then added that: "I don't need them to speak, they don't even need to speak."

When a listener phoned in to ask for a date, Senator Lambie jumped straight into the gutter with: "are you well-hung?"

Tasmania is desperately trying to rebuild its economy and earn national and international respect.

Senator Lambie's extreme sexism is guaranteed to put us on the map for all of the wrong reasons and reinforce the view that Tasmanians are a pack of primitive bogans.

In an era when we demand that our politicians act as role models for our youth, Senator Lambie's message to young women about finding the ideal male partner is appalling and damaging.

And, imagine if the roles were reversed and a male senator expressed similar sexist views about a potential female partner and her physical attributes and then sexually harassed a listener on air.

We would be demanding that Labor, Liberal or the Greens would dump that senator ASAP and issue a national apology.

Jacqui Lambie has barely been in the Senate for a month, imagine the damage she can do to Tasmania's standing in six years.

She has embarrassed Tasmania, she has embarrassed Australia and she has embarrassed other women.

Senator Lambie will attempt to dismiss this as a joke when, in fact, she is now a national joke and it is an indictment on our political system that she is representing Tasmania in the Senate.
