Political fury after One Nation claims credit for $11m federal grant | CroweDM
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has taken the credit for an $11 million federal grant to a Queensland drag racing venue in a key marginal seat where the Coalition will need the minor party’s help to defeat Labor at the election.
“This announcement and others like them demonstrate the degree of electoral cooperation, collusion and coalition between the LNP and One Nation in Queensland, notwithstanding anything their party leaders might say to the contrary,” said the Labor member for Blair, Shayne Neumann. Hanson’s support could be critical to keeping government MPs in their seats with preferences from the minor party.One Nation gained 19.6 per cent of the primary vote in Flynn, the electorate around Gladstone where Labor is seeking to defeat the Liberal National Party. One Nation gained 16.8 per cent of the primary vote in Blair but the Labor member, Shayne Neumann, held the seat despite a 6.9 per cent swing toward the Coalition after preferences.
