You know, Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, Jean-Marie Le Pen in France.

That was the 2000s.

Pauline Hanson and One Nation were here and doing it first.

Really, they set up that whole idea that underpins a far-right party, that you need an enemy, that there's an us and a them.

It's really interesting to see how that has developed, filtered through into international politics and then also filtered back into Australian politics.

Do I want to be Prime Minister?

Well, I'll tell you what, I won't knock the job, Andrew, because I believe that I have the ability to do it.

I'm not going to underestimate myself or say, no, I can't do it.

So talk me through that.

I mean, it's a long way to the lodge, Ruby.

It would be pretty exceptional.

So if we talk about Pauline Hanson as Prime Minister for a moment, I mean, we don't directly elect the Prime Minister in Australia.

So she would have to be the leader of a party that wins the majority of seats or forms a coalition in the lower house.

So let's just talk about where we are now and then where we'd need to get to.

So in terms of where we are now, One Nation has two seats in the House of Representatives and they've got six seats all up.

They're leaders in the Senate.

So two seats in the House of Reps, four seats in the Senate.

You've got a House of Representatives that has 150 seats.

So to get from two seats in the House of Reps to 76 is a massive jump.

So they either need 76 seats in the House of Reps or they're going to need to cobble together some kind of coalition.
