Concept information
Preferred term
Pauline Hanson
Definition
- Pauline Hanson, founder of the One Nation party and Australia's most well-known neopopulist political leader, provided a clear challenge for Australia's media. In her notorious maiden speech as an independent member of Federal Parliament in 1996, she attacked Asian immigration and indigenous welfare, sparking racial divisions while striking a chord with many rural, regional, and working-class voters who felt alienated by multiculturalism and disaffected by rural economic downturn.
