Andrew Hastie, a Liberal MP and former SAS officer, has accepted an apology from his former colleague Barnaby Joyce for a controversial One Nation cartoon that labeled him a "traitor." However, Hastie still criticized One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, calling her a "lying coward." The incident has highlighted a rift between Joyce and Hanson, as the latter has not apologized for the video and instead reinforced its message on social media. The One Nation cartoon, posted in late July, depicts Hastie as a paranoid opposition leader manipulated by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and accuses him of being a traitor for testifying against former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith in a defamation case. The video, which remained pinned on One Nation's social media account, was criticized by several politicians, veterans' groups, and crossbench senators, who argued it was disrespectful and inflammatory. Joyce quickly distanced himself from the video, stating he was unaware of its content and reached out to Hastie to apologize. On Friday, Hastie confirmed he accepted Joyce’s explanation, saying he believed Joyce had been protecting Hanson. He now claims that Hanson is the "only lying coward" and accused her of being "weak" and having a "glass jaw." Hastie also argued the cartoon insulted not only him but other veterans who testified in the defamation trial. Pauline Hanson has refused to apologize or remove the video, instead criticizing critics like Jacqui Lambie, a crossbench senator who supported Hastie. She posted a photo of Lambie on social media and told critics to "take a chill pill." Meanwhile, senior Liberal figures, Lambie, the RSL, and the Greens have all called for the video to be taken down, with Defense Minister Richard Marles calling the use of the word "traitor" "tasteless" and honoring Hastie's service as a veteran.
