Summary

Pauline Hanson’s National Press Club appearance revealed that the politics of grievance, culture wars and division remain central to One Nation’s appeal. As voters continue to face cost-of-living pressures, housing affordability and a declining trust in institutions, we examine the rise of populism in Australia, the decline of the Liberal Party, the contradictions in One Nation’s economic agenda, and whether fear-based politics offers real solutions or simply creates new scapegoats. We also discuss the media’s role in normalising fringe political movements and why harmful ideas must be challenged rather than ignored. #AUSPOL Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR.
