Senator for Tasmania Jacqui Lambie has announced the death of her father, Tom Lambie.
The senator posted the news to Facebook on Friday afternoon, accompanied by a photo of smiling Mr Lambie holding a cat in his arms.
Tributes from friends, family and sporting associations have begun to flow, including a message from the North Western Football Association, of which Mr Lambie was a long-time member.
"Very sad news of the passing of Tom Lambie. A valued and long time member of the NWFA," they said.
"Thoughts go out to the Lambie family, you will be dearly missed by our football community."
