Pauline Hanson and her party give drama queens a bad name

To say that Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is the drama queen of Australian political parties is to be unfair to drama queens.


One Nation is a bodice-ripping, shirt-rending, stiletto throwing, screaming, tear-jerking hot mess of a thing. It’s in a state of permanent separation within itself, forever circling the divorce courts and misplacing members of its dysfunctional family.


Pauline Hanson’s latest bout of tears on TV over her latest falling out with one of her dwindling little Senate brood, this time Brian Burston, is merely further proof of her party’s maladjusted nature.

It’s always teetering on the edge of the precipice, of course, attracted to the depths where darkness lurks.


Back in 1998, you might recall, One Nation shocked the nation by winning 11 seats in the Queensland Parliament. Yes, yes, it WAS Queensland, and no one ought really be shocked at anything that happens there. Clive Palmer, anyone?
