Summary
Liberal MP Andrew Hastie is firing back at Pauline Hanson and One Nation strategist James Ashby, calling them cowards for slandering him as a traitor — a claim he denies after serving as an SAS captain and deploying twice to Afghanistan. He’s threatening costly legal action if they don’t stop the attacks, saying he’s been labeled a rat and a dog despite testifying under oath. Hastie also accuses One Nation of abandoning soldiers’ standards and betraying his trust, while warning they’ll face a major political and financial hit if they continue. With One Nation recently winning a key state byelection overlapping his electorate, tensions are rising — especially as Liberal leadership eyes a reshuffle ahead of the next federal election, positioning Hastie as a potential power player in the party. Opposition leader Angus Taylor has also slammed One Nation as unfit to govern, adding fuel to the fire. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
