One Nation hit with criticism over 'traitor' cartoon, labelled 'lying cowards'

One Nation has been slammed after publishing a cartoon described as branding someone a 'traitor', drawing sharp criticism that included the phrase 'lying cowards'. The backlash has focused on the party's decision to circulate the image, which opponents said crossed a line and provoked strong public response. The New Daily reported the controversy, noting the cartoon prompted immediate condemnation from critics who used harsh language to describe the party's actions. The episode is likely to intensify scrutiny of One Nation's communications and could shape public discussion about political rhetoric and conduct in coming days.
