According to The Guardian, a live politics blog carries the headline that Lambie says Hanson “hasn’t apologised to her” over a cartoon mocking Lambie’s medical condition. The headline is the only text in the available sources that refers to the apology claim. It does not say what the cartoon depicted, who published it, or when it appeared. The entry is available at The Guardian’s live politics blog.
The Guardian’s summary for the same entry, written by Martin Farrer, does not mention Lambie, Hanson, or a cartoon. It instead describes a separate matter. According to the summary, the husband of a Victorian Liberal party candidate has allegedly been assaulted during a confrontation over election signs.
The summary adds that a Liberal party spokesperson said on Monday evening that the husband of the party’s candidate for Yan Yean, Amanda Dow, was involved in an alleged incident in Mernda the previous afternoon. The summary does not give the outcome of the alleged incident, and it does not describe any response from Hanson or Lambie.
The summary also ends mid-sentence, so its account may be incomplete. Because the two items describe different subjects, the sources do not confirm the Lambie and Hanson apology claim beyond the headline. It is unclear from the material whether the summary was written for the same live entry as the headline, and no source links the two.
Readers seeking the complete entry should consult The Guardian’s live politics blog directly, since the sources provided contain no further text on the apology dispute or the Mernda incident.
