Pauline Hanson's Please Explain is an Australian animated conservative political satire web series that is produced by Stepmate Studios, a Melbourne-based production company,[3] for Pauline Hanson's One Nation, a right-wing populist political party in Australia founded and led by Pauline Hanson.
Set at Parliament House in Canberra, the series follows Hanson (voiced by herself) teaching a class of Australian politicians, and parodies current political events while promoting the One Nation party and its policies. Episodes are released on One Nation's YouTube channel every Friday and re-aired on Sky News Australia.
Viewers have raised money for the series through donations and by purchases from One Nation's online store, most notably One Nation-branded alcohol (namely gin,[4] rum[5] and vodka).[6]
The series has been subject to numerous controversies due to its content.[7][8]
