Jacqui Lambie slams 'nasty' One Nation cartoon mocking vaginal prolapse
The independent senator criticises a new One Nation cartoon, which ridiculed the outspoken veteran and used her medical condition as a punchline.
One Nation has released a cartoon that mocks Tasmanian independent senator Jacqui Lambie by referencing her vaginal and bladder prolapse condition. The condition, which required surgery and five months away from parliament, is linked to the back injuries Lambie sustained during her military service. Senator Lambie responded to the cartoon, calling out the "nastiness" and "hatred" demonstrated in the video.
She urged members of Pauline Hanson's team to remove the content immediately, stating that decent leaders do not promote animosity and division. Other politicians, including independent MP Monique Ryan and Queensland Labor MP Kara Cook, have also criticized the cartoon, praising Lambie's courage in discussing her personal health issue to raise awareness.
Both Ryan and Cook emphasized that ridiculing Lambie is not clever satire but rather personal humiliation. Following the release of the cartoon, other instances of One Nation's satirical videos targeting politicians and recent events have drawn criticism, including a recent instance involving Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie.
