The Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania has denied the claims that she is Aboriginal, the evidence of her heritage is tenuous at best and not conclusive. Regardless I think its irrelevant, if she is Aboriginal then it is because of an abduction of a descendant by a male sealer and I wouldn't particularly be proud of that

she's aboriginal

you seem to make a lot of racist statements for someone who is often denigrating others for just that

White trash name says it all.

Embarrassed members of Parliament have called for Jacqui Lambie to resign after the Palmer United senator's warning that Ebola-infected suicide bombers could target Australia.

Senator Lambie today used the Senate as a platform to test the theory, despite suggestions its origins can be traced to a spoof US news website, Fairfax Media reports.

"Do you have any information to suggest that Australia's enemies could attack our country or military using the virus," Senator Lambie asked Defence Force Vice-Admiral Ray Griggs, who was appearing before the estimates meeting.

"… for example with suicide agents who are effected with the disease, or have access to bodily fluids containing the disease, and what is your contingency plan to fight this?"

A diplomatic Vice-Admiral Griggs paused for a moment, before replying: "I don't believe there is any evidence to suggest that that is a likely course of action."

"One of the things, senator, that we have playing to our advantage is our geographic isolation and (with) the length of time that it takes simply to get to Australia, and the life cycle of the virus, it becomes very obvious relatively quickly how sick someone is," he added.

"So I think the ability to inject someone into the country, who is not showing symptoms, would be quite difficult."

Senator Lambie's comments quickly attracted condemnation.

Government MP Craig Laundy urged Senator Lambie to hang up her hat if she is not going to take her job seriously.

He was joined in his criticism by Labor backbencher Rob Mitchell, who told Fairfax Media Senator Lambie's questions proved she appeared to "revel in the embarrassment" she brought to the Senate.

US spoof website National Report recently ran a satirical story on officials learning about Islamic State terrorist plans to spread Ebola by suicide bombing populated American cities, AAP reports.

However it is not known where Senator Lambie's concerns originated.

Senator Lambie wants more customs officers employed to scan and take the temperature of every person entering Australia in an effort to stop Ebola-infected suicide bombers.

She admitted scanning every entrant would be a "massive ordeal" but would be worth it.

"We should do everything we possibly can," she said.

"There's plenty of suicide missions going on around the world, so what's stopping them hopping on a plane and coming here?"

AAP contributed to this report.
