No relationship, no apology: senator decries Hanson

Resumen detallado

Jacqui Lambie has made a plea to One Nation supporters, who she says are "terribly disillusioned" if they put their faith in Pauline Hanson.

Pauline Hanson is yet to personally apologise to Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie over an online cartoon mocking her health condition.

The One Nation leader came under fire in October after a cartoon from her party making fun of Senator Lambie's vaginal prolapse.

After previously telling Senator Lambie to "lighten up" over the social media content, Senator Hanson backtracked and asked the creator of the video to amend the material.

Her move followed an attack on independent MP Helen Haines outside her electorate office, which triggered calls for politicians to tone down personal invective in their public debate.

Nearly a month later, Senator Lambie said she was yet to hear directly from the One Nation leader directly about the video.

"There has been no direct apology ... that's fine, I can give and take," she told ABC''s Insiders program on Sunday.

As Senator Hanson's party rises in opinion polls to challenge the major parties, the Tasmanian senator said she understood why people were shifting their support to One Nation.

But Senator Lambie said voters were misguided in putting their confidence in the One Nation leader.

"Pauline can go and do whatever Pauline wants to do ... but I just wish people would have a really good look," she said.
