This is an episode of series three of Frontline, which aired in 1997.Several years after season 2, Frontline has become the highest-rated current affairs show in the country, under the guidance of an experienced and smooth-operating Executive Producer (Alan Dale). The show, however, still targets the lowest common denominator, and continually airs manipulative pieces instead of hard-hitting journalism. When the executive producer retires, however, his replacement Graham Prowsie Prowse (Steve Bisley) proves to be a chauvinistic manipulator who doesn't care at all for Mike's desire to focus on important issues. As a result, Mike begins considering moving to the ABC. Steve Bisley joins the cast. In most episodes he is given top billing.From this episode onwards Jase (Torquil Neilson) now speaks. In the first two seasons, he never said a word.

This is an episode of series three of Frontline, which aired in 1997.After listening to Pauline Hanson's maiden speech, the Frontline crew join a media frenzy attacking her Nativist and Protectionist policies as racist until finally Hanson agrees to be interviewed. At the same time, however, Frontline runs a swathe of stories about various ethnical groups, which clearly divide racial lines and are designed to appeal to racist prejudices. Mike's interview with Pauline Hanson parodies a 1996 interview Hanson gave on 60 Minutes with Tracey Curro.For this episode only, Steve Bisley is second in the opening credits.Although this season is supposedly set several years after the previous seasons (set in 1994 and 1995 respectively), this episode is very clearly set in 1996, as evidenced by Pauline Hanson's maiden speech.

Mike's determination to be the star reporter of the story begins to wane when he is offered the chance to play golf with celebrity Ian Baker-Finch.
