Split in One Nation Over Controversial Cartoon and Apology

Source: The Guardian World - Published: 11 Sep 2026 05:59

Andrew Hastie has accepted an apology from Barnaby Joyce regarding a cartoon that labeled him a traitor, highlighting a divide within One Nation. While Joyce distanced himself from the video, Pauline Hanson has refused to remove it and criticized its detractors, suggesting they should 'take a chill pill.'

The ongoing tensions within One Nation could lead to further fractures as members publicly take sides. Watch for potential shifts in party dynamics, especially if more members align with Hastie's views or if Hanson doubles down on her stance, impacting future party cohesion.
