Could Pauline Hanson actually become Prime Minister?

<p>For decades Pauline Hanson has been on the fringe of politics. Sometimes mocked, often ignored, occasionally courted.<br />&nbsp;<br />Even from that position she&rsquo;s been influential: her presence can be felt in our immigration policies, dating back to Howard.&nbsp;</p> <p>But her power and her popularity have never been greater than they are today. A recent poll has one Nation as the most popular party in the country, surpassing Labor in primary support.&nbsp;</p> <p>So just how possible is an Australia governed by One Nation?&nbsp;</p> <p>Today, host of The Conversation&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>The Making of One Nation </em>podcast, Ashlynne McGhee, on the party&rsquo;s popularity and what it will try to do with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you enjoy <em>7am</em>, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at <a href="http://7ampodcast.com.au/support">7ampodcast.com.au/support</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>And you can check out The Making of One Nation podcast&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-making-of-one-nation/id1617557824">here</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong><strong> </strong>Stay in touch with us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/7ampodcast">Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Making One Nation podcast host, Ashlynne McGhee</p> <p><strong>Photo:&nbsp;</strong>AAP Image/Lukas Coch</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
