Story summary

As of October 18, 2026, Jacqui Lambie, an independent Tasmanian senator, has strongly condemned a new One Nation cartoon that mocks her vaginal prolapse. The cartoon is part of One Nation's "Please Explain" series and ridicules Senator Lambie's health condition by depicting her saying she cannot laugh due to her prolapsed vagina, adding a crude sound effect. This comes after Senator Lambie gave an emotional speech in the Senate in August revealing she had a vaginal and bladder prolapse requiring surgery and five months of leave from parliament.

Senator Lambie told ABC Radio National that decent leaders do not stir up hatred or push towards anarchy, criticizing Pauline Hanson's approach as promoting "hatred" and "spitefulness." She also called on the people in Senator Hanson’s team to remove the video immediately but stated she would not demand One Nation take it down herself. Other politicians have criticized the cartoon and defended Lambie's courage, with some arguing that such behavior from political parties can be detrimental during a cost-of-living crisis.
