Please explain: Niki Savva, Paul Kelly and Antony Green on the resurgence of Pauline Hanson
Pauline Hanson rose from Ipswich City Council in 1994, to win the federal seat of Oxley in 1996, as a disendorsed Liberal turned independent. Her maiden speech ignited national controversy, and after just two years in Canberra, and a string of failed comebacks, she’s now back at the centre of Australian politics — with One Nation now polling at 24% of the primary vote (Resolve Strategic). Some of Australia's finest political minds unpack Hanson's remarkable resurgence. Guests: Niki Savva, journalist, author and former political advisor to Peter Costello Paul Kelly, Editor-at-large for The Australian Simon Hunt and his alter ego Pauline Pantsdown ABC Election Analyst Emeritus, Antony Green Producer: Ali Benton
