She's Not There: Pauline Hanson and the Australian Media

The media relationship with Pauline Hanson is in itself a rather extraordinary phenomenon. Soe is so politically incorrect that even most of them can see it – except perhaps for the Sydney Telegraph's Piers Akermann who has fallen deeply and hopelessly in love with her, even more than John Howard himself. There has not been a phenomenon like Hanson in recent Australian political history, where one politician has been perceived as the corporeal realisation of the convulsive response to globalisation.
