I wonder where you learnt that. I'm Italian and I didn't know it. Well it's vulgar. Literally it means "to break the ass of sparrows". I knew the expression "spaccare il culo" anyway. "Spaccare il culo ai passeri" can mean that 1) something or someone is great or cool or 2) someone pays too much attention to details in an annoying way. "Spaccare il culo" is also a way to say to beat or hurt someone.

You know, an italian politician usually makes up new metaphors. Most of them do not make any sense, so some italians joke, making up their own.
Usually they say like "non siamo qui a ..." in this case "spaccar il culo ai passeri". Maybe she meant that they don't want to be too annoying or irritating by paying too much explaining something.
But it depends on the situation, because each person makes up his/her own metaphor.
For example, I could say, "non siamo mica qui a drizzar le banane" (that doesn't exist. I have made it up)

In my opinion it would mean to feel strong in personality or mood, like in one's young age. I think it could be translated to "to rule" or "to breakthrough" in a situation or to be very good at something
