PAULINE HANSON'S ONE NATION RISES AGAIN - THE TRUMP EFFECT.

The United States is celebrating, if that’s the right word, its 250th anniversary of independence. President Donald Trump has announced a decidedly shaky agreement to ostensibly end his war of choice with Iran. That republic is heading into its midterm congressional elections in November with Trump’s blatant corruptions and authoritarianism clearly front and centre.
Here in Australia, our relatively robust democracy is also under an intensifying stress test. The far right party, One Nation, is on the rise electorally. Its leader, Pauline Hanson, after all these years, is a political figure with a renewed profile. She is addressing the National Press Club on the nineteenth of June.
Veteran political journalist, Margo Kingston, has been following and writing about Hanson and One Nation for decades including a recent substack piece on the party, as its fortunes improve. The next Australian state election is here in Victoria in November.
Peter Clarke caught up with Margo Kingston in her home in Comboyne, regional New South Wales.
