    03 The Making of One Nation | Survive the Scandal

    We’d all like deeply considered policy and informed debate to be at the heart of politics, but unfortunately controversies and scandals tend to steal the show. For most parties, scandals are disastrous: they lose seats, ministers and elections — but not One Nation. It's weathered defections and punch-ups (including a memorable smearing of blood on a Senate door), jail and chaos, and thirty years on it's surging. This is a party that doesn’t just survive the chaos, but cultivates it and capitalises on it. This series was hosted by Ashlynne McGhee and produced and edited by Isabella Podwinski for The Conversation. Sound design by Michelle Macklem.

    02 The Making of One Nation | Define the Enemy

    You might remember this line in Pauline Hanson's maiden speech: "I'm afraid we're in danger of being swamped by Asians." It wasn't the first racist comment she'd made in public and it certainly wasn't the last. Over the years, her enemies have changed and she now targets Muslims and elites, but it's the same tactic and it's infiltrated Australian politics. This series was hosted by Ashlynne McGhee and produced and edited by Isabella Podwinski for The Conversation. Sound design by Michelle Macklem.

    01 The Making of One Nation | Enter the Outsider

    From a fish and chip shop in regional Queensland to the heart of Australian politics: this is the unlikely story of the country's most controversial minor party. In episode one, Ashlynne McGhee asks who was Pauline Hanson before she became a phenomenon, and what did she actually represent? Was she a cause of a new kind of politics, or a symptom of one already forming?
