One Nation leader Pauline Hanson reportedly received more than $2000 in party donations to her personal bank account.
And it’s unclear where the money has been spent.
Up until almost two months ago, Senator Hanson’s personal bank account was advertised on the One Nation website alongside an official party account, News Corp reported on Thursday.
Disclosures to the Australian Electoral Commission showed 14 donors poured $2558 into her account in the lead up to the 2016 federal election.
Senator Hanson’s chief of staff James Ashby told The Daily Telegraph all the money donated to the party had been recorded and reported in accordance with AEC rules and Electoral Commission Queensland guidelines.
“Since the appointment of [party treasurer] Greg Smith in August of 2016, a number of former One Nation accounts have been shut down, with records provided to relevant electoral bodies,” he said.
The revelation comes as One Nation faces pressure over the use of a plane now at the centre of an AEC investigation as to whether the party breached any disclosure laws.
