Jacqui Lambie condemns One Nation cartoon about her health condition
One Nation published a cartoon mocking Senator Jacqui Lambie’s vaginal prolapse, a health condition she has spoken about publicly.
The cartoon appeared in Pauline Hanson’s “Please Explain” series and also criticised the Albanese government’s Digital Duty of Care bill, which targets online safety.
Lambie condemned the cartoon as nasty, saying people facing a cost-of-living crisis did not need more hostility.
In August, the Tasmanian independent senator told parliament about her experience and the difficulty some female veterans face in getting care.
Senator Monique Ryan also denounced the cartoon, saying Lambie had spoken openly to help other women affected by the condition.
Pelvic organ prolapse affects about one in 12 Australian women and can be uncomfortable and debilitating.
The cartoon also called Liberal MP and former special forces soldier Andrew Hastie a “traitor” over his testimony in a defamation trial involving Ben Roberts-Smith, who denies allegations of war crimes.
