Pauline Hanson’s One Nation faces possible action in Queensland after failing to lodge required audited financial statements with the state’s regulator. The breach concerns the party’s compliance obligations and could lead to penalties for people associated with the organisation. Reporting across outlets says the Queensland Office of Fair Trading has warned the party it will launch an investigation if the overdue documents are not provided. One report also notes that the party has a deadline to comply by 18 August, after which it may face enforcement steps that could include being struck off in Queensland. The party’s registered office roles in Queensland are described as Pauline Hanson serving as president and Sean Bell, a One Nation senator from New South Wales, serving as secretary for the Queensland branch. The accounts indicate the regulator’s focus is on the absence of audited financial records, not other matters. The situation is ongoing and depends on whether the party lodges the statements before the stated deadline.
