The Sydney Morning Herald reported Hanson reserved rooms at the Conrad London St James in July, costing $860–900 a night, with some allegedly left vacant while she visited Italy to meet Gina Rinehart.
Party insiders expected the expenses for Hanson and aide James Ashby to come from general revenue, despite a $5 million fundraising drive from small donors.
One Nation released Expedia receipts denying empty rooms and insisting the ‘Fire the Liar’ funds remain untouched in a term deposit, with no rules broken alleged.
