Hanson defends One Nation cartoon mocking Lambie’s prolapse amid backlash
Pauline Hanson has defended a One Nation cartoon criticised for making light of Senator Jacqui Lambie’s vaginal prolapse, calling it satire and telling her to “take a chill pill”. The row has drawn condemnation from politicians across party lines and renewed debate about stigma around women’s reproductive health.
Lambie said she had spoken publicly about her condition to help other women feel less alone, not to invite ridicule. She revealed in August that the prolapse, which she linked to a back injury from her army service, required surgery and five months’ leave. Labor’s Tim Ayres, independent MP Monique Ryan, Liberal MP Andrew Hastie and Minister for Women Katy Gallagher also criticised the cartoon.
- Hanson says the cartoon is satire.
- Lambie says speaking openly is not an invitation to mock her.
- Politicians across parties have condemned the cartoon.
