Queensland state election, 2001. Following the 2001 state election, One Nation’s primary vote collapsed to less than ten percent of the vote. As shown by this map of the election result, One Nation held onto just three seats: Lockyer, Gympie and Tablelands. These were remnants of the party’s electoral success in 1998 when One Nation stormed onto the political scene and captured 11 seats highlighting new divisions in the political landscape.

Pauline Hanson the candidate was less effective than the political protest movement she spawned.

Hanson minders all clubbed out, Courier mail, 12 June 1998. 'A lift for One Nation ... Pauline Hanson with workers at the north Queensland town of Ravenshoe'.

'On the march', Craig Johnstone, Courier mail, 6 June 1998. 'One Nation could interfere with John Howard's election plans'.

'A State of unrest', Matthew Franklin, Courier mail, Saturday 6 June 1998. ' A week out from the state election, all major political parties are facing up to the threat of Pauline Hanson's One Nation movement. For Premier Borbidge, it is an unwanted distraction; for Labor, a political unknown.'

Queensland state election, 1998. Following the 1998 state election, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party emerged as a new political force in Queensland. As indicated by this map published by the Electoral Commission of Queensland, One Nation captured 11 seats after receiving nearly one quarter of Queensland’s primary vote. For the coalition parties, major upsets included the loss of the safe National seat of Barambah. The 1998 election result demonstrated that beyond the capital and urban core, One Nation’s ‘conservative’ agenda commanded widespread popular appeal.
