Protests, clashes and grievance politics: Pauline at the Press Club

<p>For three decades, Pauline Hanson has built a career on grievance.&nbsp;</p> <p>In all that time she hasn&rsquo;t fronted to the bastion of political journalism, the national press club. That was until yesterday where she appeared for the first time.</p> <p>In a long address she laid out how she aims to turn her politics of grievance into policy; targeting immigration, the ABC, multiculturalism, renewable energy, transgender rights and journalists.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was a performance that will play to her base and one that helps explain her rise in the polls. But she also gave her opponents a clearer picture of what they&rsquo;re running against and what to target in the two years until the next election.</p> <p>Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton, on Pauline Hanson&rsquo;s big moment, and the fight now coming for One Nation.&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><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> Press gallery journalist Karen Middleton</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>
