Background


In 1997, Simon Hunt (a lecturer in sound and film at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney) as Pauline Pantsdown had released a song called "Backdoor Man", which had received a cult following and been played on Triple J, the youth network of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Hanson won an injunction to stop the ABC playing it, and in response to that, Hunt recorded another single titled "I Don't Like It".[2] The title lyric, to Hunt, "epitomised the whinging, that she would complain about things, and never have solutions".[3] Hunt designed the song so that it would have politics for the adults, and that it would be catchy for kids to sing along.[4]

On 3 October 1998, Hunt, dressed as Pauline Pantsdown, campaigned on the streets of Sydney in an attempt to entice voters away from Pauline Hanson and the One Nation Party in the 1998 Australian federal election.[5]

On 7 March 2013 Hanson announced that she would stand in the 2013 federal election[6] and Pantsdown reappeared with "I Don't Like It".[7]
