One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says she did not pay for a luxury London hotel room using party money. Multiple reports describe claims that the accommodation, billed at about $900 per night, was funded from One Nation’s “Fire the Liar” war chest, which is said to contain around $5 million in party funds. Hanson disputes that account, stating she did not bankroll the hotel stay with those funds.
The reports also note that some party insiders have expressed concerns or questioned how the costs were handled, prompting scrutiny of who paid for the accommodation and what sources of funding were used. While the outlets agree on the basic allegation and Hanson’s denial, they present no definitive resolution in the available summaries about the ultimate payment source.
Overall, the coverage focuses on whether the London hotel expense was drawn from One Nation resources and highlights the tension between Hanson’s denial and internal concerns within the party over the use of campaign or war-chest funds.
