Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie has attacked One Nation's "MAGA-style politics" after the party published a cartoon mocking Senator Jacqui Lambie's medical condition. The latest episode of One Nation's satirical "Please Explain" cartoon series features the independent senator complaining she "can't laugh because of my prolapsed vagina." Lambie has linked her condition to an injury sustained while serving in the Australian Army, in a bid to destigmatize it and campaign against a payment cap the Labor government proposed for veterans health care services. Hastie, a former SAS soldier, said in a statement that Australian women should "take note of One Nation's political character." One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson told Lambie to "get over it." Lambie said voters struggling in a cost-of-living crisis did not need more "nastiness." Independent MP Monique Ryan stated, "One Jacqui Lambie is worth 1,000 Pauline Hansons." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Liberal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price were among politicians who condemned the cartoon.
