Who gets to be a traitor?
When Pauline Hanson labelled SAS veteran and Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie a ‘traitor’ eight times, then animated the insult and pinned it to the top of her social media feed, she did more than provoke outrage. She exposed the conditional nature of Australia’s reverence for military service and revealed how brittle our nationalist mythology becomes when it collides with powerful, wealthy political interests.
