One Nation Raises Over Two Million Dollars in Two Days for Anti-Labor Campaign

One Nation raised more than two million dollars in 48 hours after launching a donation appeal with the slogan 'Fire the liar.' The message urged supporters to contribute so the party could spread its message. The amount collected exceeded typical fundraising results for local community efforts.

Nation's chief of staff said the slogan was borrowed from a Sky News host. The same host previously worked on messaging used during an earlier federal campaign. The party has overtaken Labor in some recent opinion polls as the most popular political party. It plans to direct the new funds toward Labor-held suburban seats.

A former Liberal leader once supported a trust fund that financed civil cases against One Nation in the 1990s. One Nation's leader described the period as difficult for herself and her children.

A Liberal member representing a South Australian seat suggested carving out electoral boundaries to avoid direct contests with One Nation. The opposition leader rejected that proposal but indicated openness to preference arrangements. A senior Liberal frontbencher said any discussion of formal arrangements was premature. The focus should remain on rebuilding voter trust, the frontbencher stated.

Officials are considering whether to extend a halving of the fuel excise beyond June 30. A three-month extension would reduce budget revenue by three billion dollars. An independent member has raised concerns about returns from private investment in data centers. An assistant minister is scheduled to argue that reservation rules should be set early for such infrastructure.
