So these far right women haven't had to navigate those structures that lock women out of politics.

But you think about how much women can get done and they are organised.

They're fierce.

They are hands-on.

They're out there talking to people.

They're recruiting people.

They're standing for elections.

They're running branches.

They are so involved.

And they're bringing other women to the party.

So I think Pauline Hanson, her gender means she attracts other women to the party to do similar to what she's doing.

And, you know, I think you can't understate that.

It is a big part of who she is.

And you could also probably say, I mean, she'd probably run screaming, but I think she's a bit of a feminist.

I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians between 1984 and...

I think Australia in One Nation has absolutely been a trailblazer on the far right.

And I think some of the academics I spoke to for the podcast were pretty insistent that Australia had been, in a way, a model for some of the far right parties overseas.

If you look at the issues that propels One Nation and Pauline Hanson into Parliament in 1996, they were very Australian issues.

And they weren't the kind of issues that were being talked about anywhere else in the world.

It wasn't until the 2000s, really, that we saw populist radical right parties really kicking off around the world.
