- Description
- One Nation was the first Australian political party with a website, and its online game today is recognised as some of the most effective in the business. The party specialises in shareable anti-immigration messaging – and in bypassing traditional media to reach voters directly. ‘She tells it like it is,’ Pauline Hanson’s supporters say. But her tactics come straight from the populist right playbook: harvesting fear and grievance for political power.
In the final episode of The Populist, Sarah Martin traces Hanson’s journey from her beginnings as Australia’s first ‘cyber politician’ to her leading role in the rightwing nativist movement that is sweeping the globe
One Nation celebrated stunning success in Queensland in 1998 – then it all fell apart. What happened?

Multiple sharks have been spotted in the area, including a five-metre great white.
“It is possible the carcass will continue to act as an attractant that could lead to sharks coming in close to shore along this stretch of coast,” the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development warned.

- Description
- Australians along the east coast are reporting many sightings of endangered bogong moths as the insects continue their long migration towards the country’s alpine regions.
Bogong moths, about the size of a bottle cap with a distinctive dark stripe that runs down each wing behind two white spots, used to be incredibly abundant. But populations collapsed by up to 99.5% in the two years before 2019.
Zoos Victoria has a citizen science initiative called moth tracker where you can upload sightings and track the migration. Reports currently show the moths travelling from north of Newcastle all the way down the NSW south coast towards the Victorian border. They can be blown towards the coast by westerly winds and can be drawn inside homes by lights, the Australian Museum says.
People are encouraged not to kill the moths to aid population recovery.
