The rising popularity of right-wing populist Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is causing a profound shift within Australia’s conservative political consensus

Australia has never before had to grapple with the rise of populist right movement quite like One Nation, and that’s a particular and growing problem for the Coalition.

On the national stage, Hanson attacked multiculturalism and spoke of a ‘transgender insurgency’. It could be a reality check for voters

The party’s elected representatives – of which there are now 16 – are mostly outsiders, battlers and, in some instances, migrants.

With One Nation running red hot in the polls and posing a serious challenge to the incumbent parties, there's more scrutiny on what its foreign policy would mean for Australia.
