One Nation published a two-minute video on Friday called 'The State of Queensland' which used Robert Irwin and popular children's character Bluey to mock the state government over perceived failings ahead of the election in October.

Pauline Hanson is ignoring a legal threat to remove a One Nation cartoon featuring Robert Irwin which the celebrity figure claims is defamatory.

The legal letter from Sunshine Coast lawyer Zoe Naylor accused the video's producers of "unauthorised and deceptive use of our client's image".Mr Irwin claimed, through his lawyer, that the "egregious" video may mislead viewers into believing he is aligned with One Nation. Mr Ashby said Robert Irwin had inadvertently given more oxygen to the cartoon by threatening legal action.
