“I Can’t Even Get To First Base!”: Karl Loses The Plot Over Jacqui Lambie’s Bonking Ban Response

Jacqui Lambie sent Karl Stefanovic into an absolute meltdown on The Today Show Wednesday morning after admitting she can’t even get to first base.
Chatting to Stefanovic about Labor’s party-imposed “Bonk Ban” following the ABC’s Four Corners report into the alleged sexual misconduct happening in the Party, Lambie made the intimate revelation about her love life, which caused Stefanovic to burst out in a fit of giggles.
Stefanovic asked Lambie if she noticed the issue of power imbalance in Canberra, to which she responded: “I don’t see evidence of it up here. But I don’t belong to those major parties.”
Then came the clincher: “I don’t have time for bonking and I’ve made it quite clear in the past, I can’t even get to first base, Karl, let’s be honest.”
You can watch the exchange below.
