On November 12, 2021 Senator Pauline Hanson leader of her political party One Nation started an educational animation series called “Please Explain“, coined from her “famous” question “Please Explain?” asked of a 60 Minutes reporter in 1996 [1]

These short, under 2 minute clips created by Stepmates, shed light on Australian politics! A contract was signed for 20 episodes.

Following are a collection of the episodes, which will be updated as time permits. Or simply search the YouTube channel yourself to find episodes.

UPDATE: The week before the May 21, 2022 Australian Electoral Commission, the AEC forced One Nation to remove their ORIGINAL cartoons due to an “authorisation technicality”. The One Nation cartoon team are fixing this issue and are uploading new “authorised” videos for us to WATCH. Enjoy and Learn!
