About the Book

In this account of Pauline Hanson's doomed 1998 election campaign, journalist Margo Kingston takes us on a kaleidoscopic trip through the back country of Australia's political landscape. This is strange territory, where bad press becomes good news, enemies trade advice and the political-media game is played at its most raw. Beyond the blunders, emotions boil as Hanson's road show slams into confrontations over race and Australia's identity. 'If I'd known she was in there, I'd have blown the place up; she's got a head like a broken arsehole.' Customer leaving shop Hanson enters 'Hello, Margo, what's it today - aliens from outer space?' Mick Millett, Canberra Bureau Chief, Sydney Morning Herald 'I call her the red head match you know, and I voted for her to set the country on fire.' Anton Myck, cabinetmaker 'Why do you go out with those feminists? You're getting the worst reputation, David.' Hanson to Oldfield 'There's no way in the bloody wide world am I going to allow the media to make me lose it.' Pauline Hanson 'Do you know anything about the Solzhenistyn thesis - that you have to experience things to understand them?' Tony Price, One Nation branch president
