Queensland’s Office of Fair Trading demands three years of audited statements from One Nation’s state division by August 18, or face deregistration, fines for leader Pauline Hanson, and loss of legal status.
The party recently filed returns without audits, following media reports on delays blamed on staff turnover.
Despite the issue, polls show strength: 27% primary vote in Victoria ahead of November’s election, and 25% federally, fueled by Hanson’s plans to cut immigration and spending.
