Revealed: The evolution of Pauline Hanson
When Pauline Hanson was at the previous peak of her political popularity in the late 1990s, one journalist was there chronicling it.
Margo Kingston followed Hanson on the 1998 campaign trail and has followed her career since – pulled back in, even when she wanted to walk away.
So what do Hanson’s beginnings tell us about her future? And what are the parallels between 1996 and 2026?
Today, Kingston discusses what Hanson has come to represent and how she’s using her past to fashion her present.
