Pauline Hanson Apologises and Orders Changes to Cartoon Mocking Jacqui Lambie

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson apologised on Tuesday and said she had asked the creator of her Please Explain cartoon series to change an episode mocking independent Australian senator Jacqui Lambie's vaginal prolapse. Hanson said the video had been published without her seeing it and acknowledged that it had not been tastefully executed. She said she had spoken to the creator and requested changes, without confirming that a revised version was already public. Hanson also promised closer scrutiny of future cartoons and accepted responsibility because the series bears her name.
