Sky News host Rowan Dean praises One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address as "earth-shattering" for boldly tackling taboo subjects. “Nobody in Canberra wants Pauline there. Nobody in Canberra can be trusted as far as Pauline goes, as we saw with the idiotic stunt performed midway through her speech,” Mr Dean said. “Canberra is rotten to the core, and Pauline Hanson is there to clean up the whole town. “The reason Wednesday's address to the National Press Club was so earth-shattering was because Pauline literally tackled all the untouchable subjects that have been out of bounds for decades. “It looks like the Canberra mafia is no longer untouchable.”
