- Lambie said the digital duty was intended to protect people and children, not restrict Australians’ freedoms.
- Hanson defended the cartoon as satire, while Jacinta Nampijinpa Price called it tasteless and urged politicians to debate issues, not people.
But what I do know is this: Decent leaders don’t stir up hatred, pushing us towards bloody anarchy, because that’s exactly what she’s doing.— Jacqui Lambie, Australian Senator, in remarks responding to One Nation's cartoon mocking her health battle
