Ahead of the 2017 Western Australian election, I interviewed John Zurakowski, the One Nation candidate for the seat of Baldivis. Throughout our conversation, I sensed that Zurakowski, who was 20 years old, didn’t really know what One Nation and Pauline Hanson stood for. He had a vague understanding that One Nation was the great conservative “alternative” choice. He thought it was a great opportunity, but for what, he couldn’t say.
