Best of 2024: Niki Savva on why the PM should retire, even if he does win the next election

This week polls showed, for the first time, One Nation ahead of the major parties and Pauline Hanson as preferred prime minister in second place ahead of Angus Taylor. 

Today we're talking about her strategy, her chances in the lower house and any parallels with the United States. Is it time to take Hanson seriously?

And the week would not be over if we didn't mention submarines - but second-hand ones this time. Was this always the intention as the government is saying? We'll unpick it.

Today's episode is hosted by Jacqueline Maley, with guests chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal, and foreign affairs and national security correspondent Matthew Knott.

A week of reality checks: ‘Pauline for PM’ and the true state of the AUKUS pact

The debate on the rise of Pauline Hanson is shifting rapidly.

This week, for the first time, polls are showing One Nation's primary vote has risen above the Labor Party's.

A conversation that focused on One Nation and the Coalition swapping preferences has now shifted to more profound questions about the long-term configuration of the right flank of Australian politics.

Hanson is yet to face the full force of scrutiny on her policies, her position on race relations and whether her party really is a credible governing outfit.

Pauline Hanson joined chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal for this bonus episode of Inside Politics, recorded in Parliament House on Wednesday.

‘Don’t say it’s a protest vote’: Pauline Hanson on One Nation’s resurgence

We are officially in week two of budget backlash, and both sides seem pretty dug in.

Today we’re talking about the disagreements about the capital gains tax - the most controversial part of the budget - and if, as some critics said, it will kill business aspirations.

The other news that sparked our interest was the tantalising prospect of the Teal independents forming a party to consolidate their power in the face of a rising One Nation.

Today’s episode is hosted by Jacqueline Maley, with chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal and senior economics correspondent Shane Wright.
