Episode Details

Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie is going after One Nation’s Pauline Hanson over a viral cartoon branding him a “traitor” — a label she denies using. As a former special forces soldier who testified against Ben Roberts-Smith, Hastie sees the cartoon as a direct attack and a test of Hanson’s leadership — demanding she either admit the accusation or remove it. He argues her refusal to back down, coupled with her continued denial despite public pressure, proves she’s unfit for national office. While legal action seems unlikely due to Hanson’s financial backing, Hastie vows to push for political consequences instead, turning this social media spat into a broader debate about accountability and the seriousness of parliamentary politics. The cartoon remains live on her page — and Hanson still won’t concede.
