Liberal MP Andrew Hastie has labelled One Nation senators "lying cowards" and criticised Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce over a cartoon that accused him of a "traitor". He delivered the remarks during a doorstop appearance in Canberra on Wednesday.
The remarks added to his public feud with One Nation. The dispute is focused on the cartoon and the criticism aimed at Hanson and Joyce. Hastie took on Hanson over it. He also stepped up his criticism of One Nation senators during the Canberra appearance. The accusation continues to be the main point of the dispute.
