澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）被指控试图通过向单一民族党（One Nation）议员大卫·法利（David Farley）提供一名额外工作人员来“施加不当政治影响”。1 单一民族党领导人保罗琳·汉森（Pauline Hanson）批评这一举措是“未经请求的”，并指责总理利用公共资源将权力武器化，旨在拉拢这位新晋政客。1 据估计，增加该助理职位预计将耗费纳税人高达20万美元的薪资成本。1
授权信函由总理团队于周一亲自递送至位于堪培拉国会大厦的法利办公室。1 法利本人已拒绝该提议，但在接受News24采访时并未明确排除未来加入工党的可能性。1 与此同时，前工党参议员、现独立议员法蒂玛·佩曼（Fatima Payman）此前也曾呼吁增加工作人员资金，阿尔巴尼斯确认她目前拥有的工作人员数量多于其离开工党之前。1
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing accusations from the One Nation party of attempting to exert undue political influence after his office offered an additional staff member to One Nation MP David Farley. 1 Pauline Hanson, the leader of One Nation, characterized the move as unsolicited and alleged that it was a tactic designed to co-opt new politicians by weaponizing public resources. 1 The proposed addition of an extra staffer would reportedly cost taxpayers up to $200,000 in salary expenses. 1
The authorization letter for the additional staff was personally delivered by the Prime Minister’s team to Farley’s office at Parliament House in Canberra on Monday. 1 Although Farley declined the specific offer, he did not explicitly rule out the possibility of joining the Labor Party during an interview with News24. 1 In response to the allegations, the Prime Minister’s office has yet to issue a comment. 1
This incident draws parallels to previous staffing adjustments involving former Labor senator Fatima Payman, who became an independent MP. 1 Payman had also sought increased funding for staff, and Albanese confirmed that she currently employs one more person than she did prior to leaving the Labor Party. 1
