Hastie accepts Joyce's explanation, redirects criticism at Hanson
Liberal MP Andrew Hastie has moved past a dispute with Barnaby Joyce over a 'traitor' video, now calling Pauline Hanson 'the only lying coward' in parliamentary tensions.
Andrew Hastie said he accepts Barnaby Joyce's explanation regarding a controversial 'traitor' video, according to reporting from The Guardian's Australia live blog. Hastie has since redirected his criticism toward Pauline Hanson, describing her as 'the only lying coward' in the ongoing political dispute.
The exchanges reflect deepening tensions within Australian parliament over climate policy and legislative divisions. A separate report notes that people receiving income support—including disability, unemployment, or carers payments—have a mortality rate more than nine times higher than those not accessing welfare, according to AAP.
