One Nation\u2019s leader, Pauline Hanson<\/a>, says she has asked for a controversial cartoon video that mocked Jacqui Lambie\u2019s health issues to be changed, after widespread condemnation.<\/p>\n

The latest cartoon, part of Pauline Hanson\u2019s Please Explain series, depicts the army veteran as saying \u201cI can\u2019t laugh because of my prolapsed vagina,\u201d before adding a crude sound effect ridiculing the health condition.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Hanson said she had not been aware of the content of the video before it was posted, despite telling Lambie to \u201chave a bit of a laugh\u201d 24 hours earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video went up without my actually seeing it, and I was not aware of the content of the video,\u201d Hanson told News24.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have spoken to the creator of that video, I\u2019ve asked him to actually change it, and I respect people\u2019s views and opinions out there, and it wasn\u2019t as tastefully done as it could have been, and I do apologise for that. And I\u2019ve already spoken to them about it and changed that.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an emotional address in the upper house in August<\/a>, Lambie spoke of her struggles with vaginal prolapse and the lack of access to care faced by other female veterans.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Lambie said going public with her condition did not make her health \u201cfair game\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hanson initially told Lambie to laugh and \u201clighten up\u201d over the video and said the cartoon might have brought awareness to the condition. \u201cJacqui Lambie, get over it \u2026 it is actually satirical, and I think she\u2019s taken a heart in which she shouldn\u2019t be,\u201d Hanson said on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave a good look at it, have a bit of a laugh, Jacqui, and lighten up.\u201d<\/p>\n

But on Tuesday, the One Nation<\/a> leader conceded the videos bear her name and said she would \u201chave a closer look\u201d over future cartoons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does bear my name, and I\u2019ve got to take responsibility for that, and I accept that. But this episode, I think that it needs to be reined [in], yes, by all means.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hanson drew criticism from politicians including the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, who wrote on social media in support of Lambie: \u201cThank you for your courage which will help others #respect\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another Please Explain video came under fire recently after it labelled Liberal frontbencher and former SAS soldier Andrew Hastie a \u201ctraitor\u201d<\/a> after he gave evidence against the Victoria Cross-winner Ben Roberts-Smith in a failed defamation trial.<\/p>\n

Hanson had refused to apologise to Hastie over that video and refused to take the video down. She told critics, including Lambie who had backed the senior Liberal, to \u201ctake a chill pill\u201d.<\/p>\n

This article was amended on 20 October 2026. An earlier version attributed a social media statement from Anthony Albanese to David Pocock, who had also thanked Jacqui Lambie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One Nation\u2019s leader, Pauline Hanson, says she has asked for a controversial cartoon video that mocked Jacqui Lambie\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":935260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-935259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=935259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/935260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=935259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=935259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=935259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
