Criticism of One Nation cartoon of ex-Victorian premier Jacinta Allan
A new One Nation cartoon has depicted former Victorian premier Jacinta Allan as a witch, earning a rebuke from deputy premier Gabrielle Williams, who described it as misogynistic.
Deputy Premier Gabrielle Williams rebuked One Nation's latest cartoon, which portrayed former Victorian premier Jacinta Allan as a witch. The cartoon, featured in a six-minute Halloween-themed video, criticized various political figures including Premier Ben Carroll, ex-premier Dan Andrews, and Opposition Leader Jess Wilson. Williams dismissed the cartoon as misogynistic and urged the party to focus on delivering policies for the Victorian community instead of producing such content.
One Nation's federal leader Pauline Hanson initially defended the cartoon, claiming it was satirical. However, after criticism, she admitted she had not seen it and later apologized, stating it was not as tastefully done as it could have been.
