Quick Summary

Jacqui Lambie, a Tasmanian senator, has criticized One Nation for its cartoon that mocks her struggle with vaginal prolapse, calling it an attack fostering hatred and spitefulness in public life. The cartoon depicts Lambie's condition as a joke while she criticizes Labor’s digital duty of care bill; about 50% of women experience vaginal prolapse at some point in their lives. This incident is part of ongoing controversies involving One Nation, which uses humor to attack political opponents and maintain its position as the leading anti-Labor force despite recent declines in polls.

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.
