HER supporters will compare her to Arnie Schwarzenegger; her enemies to a bad hangover.
Either way, Pauline Hanson is back.
For her devotees, she embodies the quintessential victim of modern Australian politics: a provincial small businesswoman seemingly oppressed by the major party duopoly, capital city elites and a so-called "political correctness". 
Little wonder her most loyal fans see Hanson as a modern day Joan of Arc. For her detractors, Hanson is merely an angry, uneducated opportunist - a misinformed misanthrope whose irreverent rhetoric risks Australian harmony at home, and trade and diplomacy abroad.
Yet Hanson's success redraws the political map and raises any number of critical questions.
Why has One Nation (ONP) support returned? Who voted for her? How will Hanson work with Turnbull? What will ONP's recovery mean for the next Queensland state election?
It's pretty obvious that, while ONP's vote surged on Saturday, support for right-wing populism never really went away. Fears of globalisation and social change continued to bubble just under the surface. Parties under Katter, Palmer and others reaped what Pauline had earlier sown in 1998. Now it's Hanson's turn to harvest.
But it's critical to note that today - just as 20 years ago - only a (significant) minority of ONP supporters were motivated by race and immigration. Most were, and still are, mainly driven by economic dislocation and a sense of being passed by.
So it's little wonder one in 11 Queenslanders voted for Hanson in the Senate. Support for some ONP candidates in provincial Queensland approached a more daunting 20 per cent.
More worrying for ONP opponents is that Hanson in 2016 is a different operator from 1996. Hanson 2.0 has seen her initial wide-eyed naivety replaced by cynicism, aggression and media savvy - prison, media excoriation and nine election defeats tend to make one more resilient - all buttressed by a potentially bigger, better organised and better resourced party machine.
In that sense, a small and well-disciplined ONP Senate clique could be far more dangerous to the political establishment than the original outfit. While Hanson will never get her royal commission into Islam, the new Senator is likely to lever funding for regional Queensland. And that, in turn, could fuel further success at state level.
With Hanson coming within 114 votes of winning Lockyer at last year's state election, it's almost certain ONP will win at least one seat at the next state poll.
Importantly, that last election saw the major parties abandon their ban on preferencing ONP above their rival. Indeed, Labor's tactic to put the LNP last saw 60 per cent of their voters in Lockyer rank Hanson above the LNP. Given how that tactic nearly put Hanson into George St, state Labor must share responsibility for ONP's revival. Either way, the precedent has been set. That means second-placed ONP candidates could win with primary votes under 30 per cent.
But a greater irony will be if LNP MPs are saved by ONP preferences thanks to a voting system the LNP railed against just a few months ago.
If you think the last few years in Queensland politics were a roller coaster ride, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
