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.

The video is no longer available on One Nation’s YouTube page.

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.

“I don’t have a relation(ship) with Pauline Hanson.”

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.

“If you think Pauline Hanson can step in tomorrow, run the country and fix all your problems overnight, you are terribly disillusioned.

“People are angry, they’re under financial strain … and when you’re under financial strain and your head is full of fog and you can’t think properly and you have all that pressure on you, you do really silly things and you don’t think about things properly.”

As parliament is set to return for a Senate-only sitting week on Monday, Senator Lambie urged fellow upper-house members to cool the tone of the debate after the incident that left Dr Haines critically injured.

She said she regretted some of her previous comments or insults towards her parliamentary colleagues.

“I have got with it over the years, certainly when I first came out and blew it out of the water and that hurt,” she said.

“It not only hurt people’s feelings, it made division within society.

“These one-liners that the opposition and that are using are not helpful. Come out with policies that are better then.

“There is a lot of aggro going on out there in the normal streets and that is enough.”
