Episode Details

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie is clashing head-on with One Nation’s Pauline Hanson after she labeled him a traitor in a cartoon, sparking a fiery exchange where Hastie accuses her of lacking the temperament to lead Australia and questions her moral stance on wartime conduct. The feud stems from Hastie’s role in the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation trial, which Hanson has targeted. Hastie’s sharp critique includes historical references to battlefield ethics, challenging Hanson’s leadership credentials. Meanwhile, Trade Minister Don Farrell condemns Hastie’s remarks as “appalling,” urging Hanson to apologize for what he calls bitter, un-Australian behavior — including attacking a PM’s mother. The spat underscores deepening political rifts over conduct, accountability, and who deserves the nation’s trust.
