One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says the party has raised more than $4 million in just five days through its “Fire the Liar” fundraising campaign, attracting over 65,000 donations with an average contribution of $61.
Senator Hanson described the effort as one of the largest and fastest grassroots fundraising campaigns in Australia, saying it reflected strong public support for the party.
“The Prime Minister couldn’t believe it and claimed the donations were fake,” Hanson wrote on social media. “But One Nation released an independent audit to prove the figures were genuine.”
The party said it had promoted the campaign through digital advertising, mobile billboards, and a donation heat map showing support across the country. One Nation also criticised the Federal Government for not providing similar transparency about its own fundraising activities.
The campaign was launched shortly after the Labor Party introduced its “Stop One Nation” fundraising drive.
According to One Nation, donations have continued to increase beyond the campaign’s original target, with the majority of contributions coming from Australia’s east coast.
A party spokesperson said many supporters viewed their donations as a protest against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
The fundraising effort has featured billboard trucks in Sydney and Melbourne, as well as advertising near political offices and other high-profile locations.
Meanwhile, Labor has encouraged supporters to donate $27 to help counter One Nation’s growing influence, with online advertisements running across Meta platforms since early June.
Peta Credlin said the campaign had strengthened One Nation’s political position and reflected growing voter dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister has previously questioned the fundraising figures and asked for evidence to support the claims. In response, One Nation pointed to a privately commissioned audit, which it says verified the donations and confirmed they were processed through the party’s systems.
One Nation says the funds will be used to expand its national campaign and political activities in the weeks ahead.
