STATEMENTS BY SENATORS

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (13:52): Well, 2026 has been a remarkable year in Australian politics. For the first time in our history, a party outside the political establishment has been setting the agenda in this country. You only had to watch yesterday's series of two-minute statements—you're all upset with me and One Nation's rise in the polls.

This is due to your taking Australians for granted. Labor has even invoked One Nation in its latest effort to raise money for the party. We decided to respond with our own campaign, raising funds to help us get rid of this toxic, dishonest Labor government.

Our original goal was a million dollars by the end of the financial year. In the first 12 hours, we had already flown past this goal. The irony was no doubt lost on the Prime Minister, who, when asked about it, said: Did she, though?

Did she, though? Did she? What evidence is there?

Dishonesty appears to be in Labor's DNA. Their automatic response is to think everyone is the same. We've supplied the evidence that our fundraiser is genuine.

Labor hasn't. In the meantime, Labor has refused to tell Australians how much their own anti One Nation fundraiser has raised $20,000. I want to thank Australians for backing up our campaign to fire the Prime Minister.

To date, more than 76,000 individual Australians have donated almost $4.8 million in less than two weeks. Thank you, Australia! We've already been making good use of these generous donations.

We will be targeting Labor and Green seats. The toxic, un-Australian worthless bunch of bench warmers need to go. Our campaign has hit the streets of our cities and the airwaves at one of our biggest sport events: game 2 of the State of Origin series.

Labor can look forward to more of the same, as more Australians jump on board the campaign. Thank you once again to the Australian people for your generous donations in a time of crisis that's happening in Australia.
