One Nation extends a big thank you to the almost 79,000 Australians who have helped us reach $5 million in donations.

We’ve already put some of this to good use. Mobile billboards have been out and about. Ads have played during big events. There’s more to come.

The average donation has been $63.50. It puts the lie to claims from our hypocritical opponents that we cosy up to billionaires.

We are extraordinarily grateful for the support of Gina Rinehart, Australia’s wealthiest individual. She’s a successful businesswoman and generous philanthropist, employing thousands of Australians, sponsoring many sports (such as our very successful Olympics swim team); contributing to medical services and Indigenous education programs, and giving $200 million to buy properties to accommodate homeless veterans.

The Greens hate it and do nothing but complain about it but see no problem with taking money from the CFMEU – a union with proven links to organised crime. The teals hate it and keep harping on it but have no problem accepting money from their own rich net-zero-supporting patron Simon Holmes a Court. Labor hates it too, but they love the support they get from Anthony Pratt and Chinese billionaires.

No-one does hypocrisy better than the far left.
