Pauline Pantsdown's "I Don't Like It" came out on August 1, 1998, and the voice at its center belongs to Pauline Hanson, the former independent MP who later founded One Nation, sampled without authorisation from interviews and media clips and stitched into a parody.
Behind the act was Simon Hunt, a lecturer in sound and film at Sydney's College of Fine Arts, who had already won a cult following on Triple J, the ABC's youth network, with "Backdoor Man" in 1997. Hanson won an injunction stopping the ABC from playing it, and Hunt answered with this. To him the title phrase summed up her whinging, complaints with no solutions attached, and he built the track to carry politics for the grown-ups and a hook that kids could sing along to. It reached number 10 on the ARIA chart.
