"There are several predictable cycles in Australian public opinion, and one of
them is the moral panic surrounding immigration.

Some readers will remember the immigration panic of the 1990s, which gave rise
to Pauline Hanson and her One Nation party.

Then the issue fades from the mainstream, only to return sometime later. Why?

It turns out it’s possible to chart the voters who will become concerned about
immigration, and when."
