澳大利亚极右翼政党One Nation通过富商Gina Rinehart的豪宅晚宴、党内贷款、电影投资等多种途径筹集资金，但相关财务披露存在重大缺陷，已引起澳大利亚选举委员会的调查。[1]根据披露，Rinehart在其豪宅举办筹款晚宴，每张门票价格为1万澳元，约有12人参与，包括Rinehart本人和党领导人Pauline Hanson。[1]同时，Rinehart还于2024年4月向该党捐赠了价值150万澳元的飞机，同日另外捐款200万澳元。[1]
党内贷款成为另一重要资金来源。[1]Hanson自2016年担任参议员以来共向党支付57.5万澳元，其中2024-25年度达24.5万澳元。[1]根据内部贷款6%的利率计算，Hanson年息约为1.5万澳元，但这笔利息收入未在其申报中披露。[1]One Nation还投资了名为《一部超级进步电影》的作品，制作费用达50万澳元，该影片的版权由与党总部地址相同的公司持有。[1]
财务披露问题日益凸显。[1]2024-25年度联邦党收入达330万澳元，其中260万澳元未披露来源。[1]此外，One Nation未能在昆士兰州注册法律要求的关联实体，违反相关法律规定，选举委员会正在对此进行审查。[1]在2024年昆士兰州选举中，One Nation还存在未申报25.5万澳元支出的问题，后被要求补正138笔交易记录。[1]
Australian far-right political party One Nation has relied on a diverse range of funding sources, including high-value donor dinners, internal loans, and film production ventures, according to investigations by the Sydney Morning Herald. The party's financial arrangements have drawn scrutiny from the Australian Electoral Commission over incomplete disclosure practices and unregistered associated entities.[1]
Billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart has emerged as a major contributor to One Nation's coffers.[1] Rinehart hosted fundraising dinners at her mansion with tickets priced at $10,000, attended by approximately 12 people including party leader Pauline Hanson.[1] In April 2024, Rinehart donated an aircraft valued at $1.5 million to the party on the same day she provided a $2 million cash donation.[1] Party leader Hanson has also provided substantial financial support through loans, contributing $575,000 to the party since becoming a senator in 2016, with $245,000 disbursed during the 2024-25 financial year.[1] Based on a 6 percent interest rate on an internal loan, Hanson's annual interest amounts to approximately $15,000, a figure that has not been disclosed in her income declarations.[1]
One Nation's revenue generation extends to entertainment ventures.[1] The party produced a film titled "A Super Progressive Movie" at a production cost of $500,000, with film rights held by a company sharing the same address as the party's headquarters.[1] During the 2024-25 financial year, the party reported federal income of $3.3 million, though $2.6 million of this amount remained undisclosed.[1] In Queensland's 2024 state election campaign, One Nation failed to declare $255,000 in expenditures and was subsequently required to correct 138 transaction entries.[1] The Australian Electoral Commission is currently examining One Nation's failure to register associated entities in Queensland as required by law.[1]
