One Nation’s election campaign for the New South Wales election is largely being funded by loans from its Queensland branch, making the party’s compliance with the stricter NSW campaign finance laws doubtful.
Since August, One Nation in NSW has declared $177,494 (a hundred and seventy-seven thousand four hundred and ninety four dollars) in loans from the party’s national executive in Queensland and represents over 80% of the party’s resources for the election campaign, according to the released records.
Donations from property developers, liquor, tobacco and gambling industry businesses are banned in NSW and it is not known whether the loans from Queensland included these kinds of donors.
