Good timing if you want to know more about The Nationals: A COUNTRY ROAD: THE NATIONALS – a three-part series on The National Party, presented by seasoned political reporter Heather Ewart – will air from Tuesday 25 November at 8.30pm on ABC. During an extensive road trip, Heather finds that there’s no other political party in the world quite like The Nationals. Its roots are on the land and in the blood. It’s played a crucial role in Australian political life since the 1920s and been at the heart of pivotal moments in our history. We meet every former living leader of the party. And then there are the characters, from Lady Flo Bjelke-Peterson to Pauline Hanson. And the turncoats: Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott, Bob Katter and Clive Palmer. A Country Road is a rollicking political and social history across time – and across this vast country.
