One Nation grows. Is ‘Opposition Leader Hanson’ a possibility?

One Nation’s rise in the polls is now undeniable, now neck and neck with the Liberal Party around 20% primary voting intent. Coupled with a tense social environment and a high-profile member in Barnaby Joyce, is “Opposition Leader Pauline Hanson” a real possibility?

Party supporters and opponents say the polls are a sign that we should take the party seriously. Politics editor Bernard Keane and political correspondent Anton Nilsson join the podcast to do just that: examine One Nation’s policies and prospects.

We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of his policy platform, whether One Nation can broaden its appeal to a broader voting base, and whether the party has a chance of survival if Hanson steps away from politics.
