The Populist: Investigation into Gina Rinehart's funding of One Nation

‘If you’re trying to say I’m being funded by Gina Rinehart, the answer is no.’ That’s what One Nation leader Pauline Hanson told the Guardian’s senior correspondent Sarah Martin in February.

We now know that’s not true. Over months, Martin pieced together flight tracking data and expense records to uncover the true extent of financial support flowing from Australia’s richest person to the country’s fastest growing political force.

Episode one of The Populist tells the inside story, from the Farrer byelection to the National Press Club, including exclusive new reporting.
