Independent Senator Jacqui Lambie is no stranger to strongly voicing her opinion and speaking openly about issues she is passionate about.

Several current key topics include Trump's tariffs, former PM's and fundraisers.

On Trump's tariffs, Senator Jacqui Lambie told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "What we need to do is work out our plan in the future."

"Are we going to sit there and not retaliate? That's the question... or are we actually going to put our foot down?" Senator Lambie continued.

Over 800,000 litres of crude oil from a tanker has been spilt at the Port of Brisbane at about 5pm yesterday afternoon.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services have estimated it could take over a week to clean-up.

QFES Chief Superintendent Steve De Pinto told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's not that common, but it does happen from time to time and the design of those facilities are designed in such a way to manage issues like this."

"There is some possibilities that are being explored, but there's no ship involved and this is a land-based tank."

"We've got some drone footage that shows a couple of possibilities, but look, I can't really speculate," Chief De Pinto said.

Donald Trump's administration has ruled out tariff exemptions for Australia which means along with the rest of the world, we will be subject to a 25 per cent tariff increase on steel and aluminum exports from this afternoon.

Shadow Minister for Trade and Tourism Kevin Hogan told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The Quad includes countries like Australia, Japan, India and the US, the AUKUS includes the UK, Australia and the US."

"Every member of those groups have been over to meet Trump."

"They're all developing a personal rapport with him and a relationship with him.
Albanese has not seen him or attempted to see him once."

"He's had, from what I can gather, only one meaningful phone conversation with him in four or five months since he's been president."

"They're an important economic partner, we had this issue of tariffs and now Albanese's missing in action, I think he has been very weak on this issue," Mr. Hogan said.

Small business is the backbone of the Australian economy and every time a natural disaster hits most of them are impacted.

The Business Chamber of Queensland is calling on the government to provide support to both the small businesses here in the South-East and in North Queensland.

Business Chamber CEO Heidi Cooper told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "What we're also seeing as well is businesses that have been impacted in a really significant way through loss of trading, loss of revenue, loss of productivity, not being able to run their business during this time and they just simply cannot continue to absorb this cost."

"Many of them continue to have operating costs while they simply were not able to trade," Mrs. Cooper said.
