*Inside One NationrCOs surge in support and the money behind it | Four
Corners Documentary*

/ABC News, Australia, In-depth, 2.45m subscribers, 28 Sept 2026/ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAr9WD06GnM>

"A surge in popular support and voters' disenchantment with the
political status quo has turned Pauline Hanson's One Nation into a
powerful force in Australian politics.

The rise and rise of the once fringe political party, backed by
Australia's richest person, threatens the Coalition's hold on regional
seats and has put One Nation's policies high on the political agenda.

As voters turn to the party in growing numbers, Four Corners talks to
former party officials and members who describe poor financial
management and a lack of internal democracy, with a small group of
people, including Pauline Hanson and National Director James Ashby,
running the show.

And while Gina Rinehart's financial support for the party is well known,
does her influence extend beyond fundraising and gifts?

One Nation has banned the ABC from a series of press conferences and
refused to talk to Four Corners, but reporter Steve Cannane found a way
to put questions to Senator Hanson as he investigates whether One Nation
is ready for power."

I have serious issues with the premise of this documentary.
The One Notion circus ain't a real grass roots movement. It is an
artificially generated nonsense that has been partially imported and
partially enhanced by domestic billionaire corporate moneys.

Of course, our almost fully brain dead country bogans from rural regions
lap up that kind of mind numbing crap because their ultra conservative
stance, disgusting racism and lack of political literacy.
