澳洲参议员保琳·汉森用一国党资金支付了在伦敦康拉德圣詹姆斯五星级酒店的住宿费用[1]。该酒店房间单晚平均收费约450英镑，折合约860澳元[1]。汉森于7月6日抵达伦敦，但在7月11日飞往意大利期间，留下了5晚的空房[1]。
虽然汉森坚称未动用一国党近期筹集的近500万澳元"火弹骗子"竞选基金[1]，但党内人士表示这笔酒店费用来自党的综合收入[1]。这一安排引发了对该党捐款使用方式的质疑。"火弹骗子"竞选基金来自近8万名支持者的捐款，其中88%的捐款金额为100澳元或以下，平均捐款额仅为73澳元[1]。此外，汉森7月11日至16日从伦敦飞往西西里的机票由采矿业亿万富翁吉娜·莱因哈特支付[1]。
Australian Senator Pauline Hanson covered the cost of a five-night stay at London's Conrad St James hotel using One Nation party funds, despite spending much of that period in Italy.[1] The luxury accommodation cost approximately 450 pounds per night, or around 860 Australian dollars.[1] Hanson arrived in London on July 6 and departed for Rome on July 11, leaving the room unoccupied for the remainder of the booking until her return on July 16.[1]
The hotel expenses have drawn scrutiny over the use of party donations, particularly given that One Nation had recently raised nearly 5 million Australian dollars through its "Bomb the Liar" campaign, which collected funds from close to 80,000 supporters.[1] Hanson has maintained that she did not draw upon these recently collected campaign funds for the hotel bill, though party officials indicated the charge came from the party's general revenue.[1] The campaign donations were notably modest, with 88 percent of contributions at 100 Australian dollars or below, averaging 73 dollars per donation.[1] Her flight from London to Sicily between July 11 and 16 was paid for by mining billionaire Gina Rinehart.[1]
