Off the Rails

Off the Rails is a detailed examination of the rise of One Nation and the political landscape of Australia. Written by veteran press gallery journalist Margo Kingston, this volume 1 entry analyzes the complex relationship between politicians and the press. The text explores the specific codes that govern these interactions and how they shaped the emergence of right-wing extremists in the Australian government.

This non-fiction work focuses on the career of Pauline Hanson and the broader implications for women politicians and legislators in Australia. By blending political analysis with insights into professional journalism, Kingston provides a serious look at Australian politics and government since 1945. The book serves as a critical study of the intersection between media influence and political power within the Australian democratic system.
