title: Should public health experts listen to the people or tell them what to think and do? Yes and no, more or less.
abstract: This article refers to Margo Kingston's analysis of Pauline Hanson's doomed election campaign in 1998 (Kingston M. Off the Rails: The Pauline Hanson Trip. Sydney: Allen and Unwin; 1999) for insights that may resolve the Chapman/Mooney debate. Should we listen to Pauline Hanson or tell her and her One Nation colleagues what to think and do? Yes, and no, more or less. If more Australian citizens were given access to the material, social, educational and other privileges that Margo Kingston has enjoyed we wouldn't have a debate.
