Lambie says Hanson has not apologised personally over prolapse cartoon

Jacqui Lambie says Pauline Hanson has not personally apologised for a One Nation cartoon that mocked Lambie’s vaginal prolapse. Hanson initially dismissed criticism and told Lambie to “lighten up”, then expressed regret and asked for the video to be changed after public backlash; it has since been removed from One Nation’s YouTube channel.

In an ABC interview, Lambie said she did not have a relationship with Hanson and described past Senate dealings as difficult, citing last-minute changes in position. She also warned voters not to expect Hanson to solve Australia’s problems quickly, arguing that financial strain and anger are driving support for One Nation. The article says the cartoon, released last month, criticised proposed online protections for children as a threat to free speech.
