The national consensus is that One Nation will be electorally tested in the giant Petri dish of Victoria at the state election in under two weeks' time.
So, it is becoming increasingly unusual that Pauline Hanson has spent so little time on the hustings down south.
But maybe it's not so weird when you look at the political reality.
This week Barnaby Joyce, One Nation's star federal recruit, will be in Victoria on the campaign trail.
But Joyce is keen to downplay his party's expectations.
The orange tsunami is not coming in Victoria is his message, and he explains that Labor's potentially cataclysmic performance will bizarrely help the Liberals, not One Nation.
"Victoria will be difficult [for us] because of the socialist [Labor] being so unpopular that their preference flows will help the Coalition," he told this column.
"If Labor comes third in many electorates, their preferences will flow to the Coalition, not One Nation, if people follow Labor how-to-vote cards.
"People need to understand that if they follow the Labor how-to-vote card, they will be electing the Coalition over One Nation."
One Nation is running candidates in every lower house seat. But the resurgent party's greatest political asset has not been a central figure in its campaign.
