The Jacqui Lambie Network trio of MPs were criticised for surrendering their independence when they signed an agreement with Tasmania's minority Liberal government last April. After three months in their new role, the three have signalled they intend to renegotiate the deal.

The Jacqui Lambie Network says it will attempt to renegotiate an agreement with the Tasmania n government that restricts how the three MPs can vote, when it expires next April.What's next?The Jacqui Lambie Network will attempt to remove restrictions on how its three MPs can vote, when it renegotiates its deal with the Tasmania n government next year.

Mr Jenner told the ABC, with the current agreement set to expire next April, he wanted to negotiate a new deal similar to the ones Ms Johnston and Mr O'Byrne signed.Andrew Jenner the three intend to "stand on our own on state issues" and that "Jacqui helps us with any anything federal".With a few months of parliamentary experience now under their belts, Mr Jenner said he expected the government to support their renegotiation bid.

"Jacqui was really helpful, she was giving us the steer, but she made it quite clear to us that we get to stand our own two feet," he said. The current deal means the Lambies can't support a motion that orders the government to produce a document, make more information public, or spend money on a particular project.
