Description

After Pauline Hanson's doomed 1998 election campaign, and the scandals and deregistration which followed, the media declared her a spent force and One Nation a dead party. The 2001 Queensland election proved them wrong: Hanson was back. In a new foreword to this book Margo Kingston not only outlines what has happened to One Nation since 1998, but she asks why it is we are so surprised by Hanson's re-emergence: deep dissatisfaction in rural Australia is not a problem that is going to go away.
