What happened
A right-wing populist party made big poll gains - and it's shaking up Australian politics Thirty years ago, against the odds, a fish-and-chip shop owner with little political experience won a seat in the Australian parliament.
Why it matters
Since then Pauline Hanson has become as well known for her inflammatory anti-immigration rhetoric as much as her parliamentary stunts, while support for her right-wing populist One Nation party has ebbed and flowed.
Common ground
But after returning from the political wilderness a decade ago, Hanson's party is now riding a new wave of popularity, driven by voters weary of mainstream political parties that they say don't understand their struggles.
