Beyond policy: How Pauline Hanson's projection of raw power fuels One Nation's appeal

Summary

This article analyzes the appeal of Pauline Hanson and the One Nation party in Australia, arguing that their intoxicating draw stems not from policy but from the raw power Hanson projects. It explores how disenfranchised citizens, crushed by cost-of-living pressures and feeling robbed of agency by distant powers, are drawn to Hanson's promise to destroy those powers. The piece critiques the limitations of simply understanding far-right information operations and argues for a new approach to political communication that goes beyond technocratic playbooks to project genuine power that delivers a better life for ordinary people.
