One Nation seeking funds from US pro gun groups.
A sting operation in DC last year including secretly filmed footage of Hanson's top advisor James Ashby and Qld's One Nation leader Steve Dickson discussing raising funds from the powerful NRA gun lobby group. Undercover reporter Rodger Muller states Dickson quoted he hopes to raise $10 or even 20 million dollars to help change the 'balance of power in the House of Representatives and the Senate.'
'If we could get that amount of money we could change Australia'
'You'd have the whole government by the balls'
Stunning reading, the meetings took place just before the Australian government banned foreign donations.
'This is about getting a political wing in Australia that can actually work hand in glove with the US and the way the United States thinks' ...Dickson says.
So why don't you FO and live in the US Dickson?

I'm not a Mark Latham admirer but he does make sense with this comment:
Speaking to Alan Jones on 2GB , Mr Latham said alcohol was “no excuse” for the way his colleagues acted.
“They said they had been on the drink. That’s no excuse,” Mr Latham said when asked about the comments Mr Dickson made about Muslims and violence.
