Pauline Hanson's One Nation cartoon has used Jacqui Lambie's health condition as a recurring joke while criticising the government's Digital Duty of Care bill.
Pauline Hanson's One Nation cartoon series has used Jacqui Lambie's health condition as a recurring joke whilst criticising the government's Digital Duty of Care bill, designed to regulate online safety, algorithms and digital platforms.
In the cartoon, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is depicted trying to end free speech on the internet by gathering a group of politicians who are 'disliked'. When his character says to Lambie's character 'They are even calling Jacqui unhinged', her cartoon depiction responds: 'It's that bloody Pauline's cartoon mate, it's gotta go? Plus I can't laugh because of my prolapsed vagina.' The running joke then has the character clutching at herself each time something upsets her.
Ms Lambie previously said in a speech that she is not alone with her condition, which impacts thousands of Australian women. 'There are too many women suffering, often in pain and embarrassment. This is a common condition that affects thousands of Australian women,' she said. The cartoon also mocks fellow veteran Andrew Hastie, with his character protesting that his war hero status should make him immune from criticism.
