One Nation has strongly denied allegations that its Victorian state president, Warren Pickering, advised a candidate to utilize a personal bank account for campaign finances. Party leader Pauline Hanson labeled the claims as 'false allegations' and asserted that no personal accounts were used, although she did not clarify whether the advice was given. The controversy arises ahead of the 2 May byelection in Mornington Peninsula, triggered by the resignation of former Liberal MP Sam Groth. Reports indicate that two former party members, who left due to concerns over financial handling, raised these allegations. Under previous Victorian electoral laws, all campaign donations were required to be deposited in accounts registered with the electoral commission, a regulation recently overturned by the high court. Hanson stated that the party's financial practices are transparent and subject to audits, while also announcing plans to sue those who made the allegations. The press conference, which was marred by a public altercation, also touched on other issues, including the need to replace the Rosebud hospital and the party's stance on political donations, which Hanson claims come from 'ordinary mums and dads.' However, scrutiny continues over the party's financial management, particularly regarding taxpayer funds received after the 2025 federal election.
