One Nation is having a bit of a moment.

Pauline Hanson’s outfit, accused by both major parties of exploiting racial anxiety over her career, has faded into irrelevance at points since she burst onto the scene in the late 1990s.

But two new polls have recorded record-high primary votes for One Nation. One of them saw One Nation’s vote rise above the Coalition, which split in spectacular fashion this week, over new hate crime legislation in the wake of the Bondi massacre.

The break-up of the Coalition, and the rise of One Nation, may point to a tectonic change in conservative politics.

At same time, the attack at Bondi has further sapped trust in our political system as politicians have brawled in the wake of a tragedy.

I’m Paul Sakkal, and you’re listening to Inside Politics, from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
From Parliament House this week, we recorded an interview before the Coalition split, with One Nation’s newest recruit, Nationals defector and former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce.
