Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm Ruby Jones and you're listening to 7am.
Chapter 2: What recent victory did Pauline Hanson achieve and why is it significant?
It's something Pauline Hanson has been eyeing for years and on the weekend she finally got it, a seat in the lower house. Her candidate for Farrah, David Farley, did even better than expected. He was elected on 57% of the vote. It changes things not just for Pauline Hanson and One Nation, but for the country.
Chapter 3: How did David Farley's election performance exceed expectations?
Today, contributing editor for The New Daily, Amy Ramikis, on the power of populism right now and what One Nation wants next. It's Monday, May 11.
We're like a mason with a chisel and a hammer, and we're re-carving the letters into the Australian democracy. One nation has reached the end of its beginning.
So, Amy, One Nation's victory in FARA was historic. It's the first time One Nation has won a federal lower house seat since Pauline Hanson herself was elected back in the 90s. She is, of course, synonymous with the party.
Chapter 4: What does One Nation's win mean for the political landscape in Australia?
So tell me about how she's taking credit for this.
Pauline Hanson is having a victory lap at the moment. I think it's maybe the happiest that I've ever seen her in 30 years of watching her on the national stage because even when she was elected, it was as an independent. Barnaby Joyce jumped ship from the nationals. But this is people putting one next to a One Nation candidate at the voting booth.
This is not only a win for Farah, it's a win for the rest of Australia.
Yes!
I'm seeing the sea of these proud Australians' faces here in front of me, hundreds of you, but millions are watching you on your TVs now, and I believe it's giving them hope.
While the Liberals and the Nationals had preference, David Farley, in the end, he didn't even really need those preferences because he was so far ahead on first preferences that, you know, it was overwhelmingly he was the choice of the electorate.
When I was walking out of here earlier and I looked up and I saw Sky called it that we won the seat, I actually got a tear in my eye.
And so, yeah, Pauline Hanson is very, very happy and she started talking about, you know, One Nation's dominance and to which an extent that is absolutely true. What we're seeing is a reordering of the right when it comes to mainstream politics in Australia. One Nation's rise has corresponded with the Coalition's decline and it's all happened quite rapidly after the last federal election.
Oh. And the people out there who may be watching this, we're coming after those other seats. You are not going to be the forgotten people anymore. We are proud fans.

Chapter 5: How is Pauline Hanson taking credit for One Nation's recent success?
And we want people that want to be Australians.
I don't love immigration by no means, but I want people to come here to this country. I don't want Sharia law on our doors.
We're seeing economic instability in all three countries, which has been worsened by a global inflation crisis that some analysts say is going to be bigger than the GFC and also potentially bigger and longer than what we saw in the early stages of COVID. And that is going to force uncertainty.
more people into that real politics of grievance mindset because they are not seeing the same benefits as previous generations and also no real hope. But the other thing that is that in the UK, the centre-left government, Labor of the UK, has not responded in ways that their platform would suggest that they would respond.
They've gone for more austerity-style policies when it comes to economics, rather than leaning into some of those old school labor values of giving people money and, you know, trying to artificially inflate the economy to ensure that people can get through it.
We've also seen that with the Democrats, who did not address the economic inequality and in fact, you know, upheld a lot of corporate America in their policies. And in Australia, we're sort of at that tipping point with this next budget.
Is Labor going to start addressing some of those issues that have been embedded for the last 20 years or so and follow through with some of what Labor's platform says that its values are? Or is it going to maintain the status quo?
And a lot of voters, they're going for a disruptor, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Pauline Hanson potentially in Australia, to break up the status quo and hopefully shock the, you know, the major institutions into doing something different. And I think that's going to be the story of this period of time.
Coming up, could the Libs, Nats and One Nation ever form a new Thropolition? Can we talk a little more, Amy, about the effect on the Liberal Party? I mean, they were already extremely worried about One Nation. That concern costs them a leader. It's behind recent policy pivots. So has that concern turned into blind panic yet?
