The controversial former federal Senator Jacqui Lambie woll team with Sydney lawyer Marina Brizar .
Lambie, 47, a former army veteran and politician is famous for her strident views on immigration and colourful language, including famously asking a radio caller if he was “well-hung”. And Marina, 28, is a young, carefully spoken woman who heads a team at a Sydney migration firm. She was six when her family fled Sarajevo and arrived in Australia as refugees in 1995.
Marina said she enjoyed meeting Lambie for the first time, while living with a Sydney refugee family. “Face to face she’s a really nice person. She’s lovely. When we met the family she was very respectful. The thing with Jacqui is she has very strong opinions and she’s not afraid to share them, but she will laugh and she will joke,” Marina told SBS Life.
"There are some things she is taking a hardline on to play a game, but in going on this journey those walls are going to have to come down," she said of Lambie.
Over the last seven decades close to a million refugees resettled in Australia.
More social enterprises are offering a new start with job opportunities.
