Split Emerges in One Nation Over 'Traitor' Cartoon

A rift has developed within the One Nation party following a video that labeled former SAS captain Andrew Hastie a 'traitor'. Barnaby Joyce has apologized to Hastie for the cartoon, but Pauline Hanson has refused to take it down. Joyce's apology has been accepted by Hastie, who still maintains that Hanson is a 'lying coward'. Hanson has responded by thanking Hastie for drawing attention to the video and telling critics to 'chill'. This move appears to have deepened the divide between Joyce and Hanson, with Joyce seemingly at odds with his leader over the issue. The controversy has been ongoing for over a month, with Hanson's refusal to remove the video sparking widespread criticism. The incident highlights the internal tensions within the One Nation party and the differing views of its leaders. The party's stance on the issue remains unclear, with Joyce's apology and Hanson's refusal to back down creating uncertainty about the party's direction.
