I’m A Celeb's Sam makes shock claims about politicians

‘They’re drunk in the chamber’ - by Faye James
  • 22 Jan 2019

On Tuesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, former politician Sam Dastyari makes shock claims about other politicians. 

“The old Labor MPs, the old lefties, all are pot smokers from back in the days, from the seventies, sixties,” Dastyari claimed during a chat with Justin Schofield and Richard Reid. 

“And a lot of the young conservatives out of the banking and that world they’ve got a bit of a cocaine, I don’t want to use the word habit, but recreational …

“The mentality is, and has always seemed to be, as long as you play the legal game, which means alcohol is legal, prescription drugs are legal … as long as that’s your cocktail of choice then it’s kind of permissible, it’s allowed.”

He went onto to say as the politicians were 'intoxicated' it led to some bizarre situations. 

“And you end up (in) situations, like question time, I’ve sat through senate question time, so has Jacqui (Lambie), where you are sitting with people and you just know they’re drunk,” he said.

“We have this term, if you say in Parliament ‘someone is tired and agitated’ that means they’re drunk in the chamber, get them out," Sam continued. 

“If someone is tired and agitated, tired and agitated, they are pissed off their face in the chamber. It happens all the time. All the time.”

Sam also detailed his own drug use during his time in the sector. 

“I have done every single drug,” he told his campmates. 

The episode also saw Sam and his fellow male campmates endure one of the most revolting tucker trials yet while Ajay Rochester was voted out and was sent home.
