    06 The Making of One Nation | Seize the Moment?

    One Nation didn't emerge in a vacuum, then or now. The global surge in right-wing populism has propelled the party and thirty years on, it’s arguably stronger than ever. But is its popularity a protest or a fundamental realignment of Australian politics? And what happens to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, post Pauline? In the sixth and final episode of The Making of One Nation, we speak to Jill Sheppard, a political scientist and senior lecturer in the School of Politics and International Relations at the Australian National University. This series was hosted by Ashlynne McGhee and produced and edited by Isabella Podwinski for The Conversation. Sound design by Michelle Macklem.
