 | | Written largely in response to the anti-Asian politics of MP Pauline Hanson and the far-right wing One Nation Party currently in power in Australia, Redneck Wonderland finds Midnight Oil experimenting with new sonic dimensions and reconnecting with the sense of outrage that has fueled some of their best work. |
 | | In many ways however, Redneck Wonderland is closest in scope to their 1983 effort, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 with its combination of hard-edged sonic experimentalism and sharply focused politics. |
