The latest round of media attention on One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has focused on a string of controversial comments she has made, two of which were very personal in nature, and all of which have caused offence in some way.
The first of these was against Liberal frontbencher and decorated former soldier Andrew Hastie. In a cartoon from One Nation’s long-running series “Please Explain”, Hastie was referred to several times as a “traitor”. One Nation has been targeting Hastie for some time over his testimony against former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith, who is facing criminal proceedings for alleged war crimes.
