ALBO …. YOU AND YOUR LABOR PARTY DON’T DESERVE A $27 DONATION!

By Cliff Reece

Pauline Hanson has attacked Labor’s fundraising push to counter One Nation’s rising polling, describing the ad campaign asking supporters to “chip in $27” as absolutely disgusting.

The Labor Party has urged supporters to donate $27 in an effort to “Prevent One Nation from turning polling momentum into seats” through a series of advertisements appearing on social media.

The push comes as recent polling shows One Nation overtaking Labor on the primary vote for the first time, sharpening debate over the party’s direction ahead of the next federal election.

The ad campaign, first reported on by The Daily Telegraph, also directs users to a Labor donation page titled “Stop One Nation”, which urges supporters to act early to counter the party’s electoral rise.

The ads, which have been running across Meta platforms since June 1, are being promoted on Facebook and Instagram and have reached tens of thousands of users.

According to Meta’s Ad Library, some of the boosted posts have cost between $2,000 and $2,500, with targeting reaching up to 80,000 users.

Speaking exclusively to SkyNews.com.au, Hanson described the campaign as “absolutely disgusting”.

“I can tell you there are 28 million Australians in this country, poor Australians, and we have a Prime Minister on over $600,000 a year,” she said.

“He has how many properties, and he is asking the average Australian to donate to his party?”

She said the government had lost credibility with voters and should not be asking for financial support while people struggle with cost-of-living pressures.

“Labor has lied. They’ve cheated and they have brought in policies that have made life worse for Australians,” she said.

“Go and ask what the Labor Party makes, what they earn, and leave the Australian people alone.”

Hanson (pictured below) said the tone of the fundraising drive showed how disconnected from voters she believed the government had become.

“I just can’t believe that they are brave enough to ask poor Australians to give over their money to fund their campaigns. It’s just disgusting,” she said.

A series of Labor’s fundraising messages circulating online calls on supporters to act immediately.

“To all Labor supporters. Please don’t scroll past this,” one of the advertisements said.

“We are asking you to contribute any amount to Labor’s campaign to take on One Nation today. Ninety-nine per cent of people reading this won’t contribute.

“We hope you’ll be different. If everyone seeing this contributed $27, we’d have the resources to prevent One Nation from turning polling momentum into seats.”

Nationals leader, Senator Matt Canavan, said the response from Labor highlighted what he described as a deeper political problem inside the government.

“This tells me that the Labor Party is addicted to politics,” he told Sky News, when asked about the ad campaign.

“That is their only obsession, and sometimes that’s not too bad, they just fall down when it comes to economics and basic things like running a migration program.”

Canavan said Labor should be focusing on delivering outcomes rather than campaign fundraising.

“I would suggest, and I’m not in the business of providing advice to my Labor Party colleagues, but if they want to improve their political fortunes, they would want to focus on delivering better results for the Australian people,” he said.

“They are in government and they have the power to take action and do things.

“Rather than ask for donations so they can run political ads, I would ask the Labor government to take action to improve the lives of the Australian people, to secure our borders, and to focus on our country again.

“That’s what the Australian people want.”

Canavan said voter frustration was a driving force behind the shift in political support.

“The reason we are seeing so much frustration is because the Labor Party refuses to listen to the Australian people,” he said.

The fundraising appeal has landed as debate intensifies over why support for One Nation is increasing, with cost-of-living pressures emerging as one central factor in political analysis.

According to the latest Sky News Pulse/YouGov poll, One Nation has become the most popular political party in the country as Labor tanks to an all-time low amid ongoing fallout over the government’s broken budget promises.

And much of One Nation’s support has come from younger voters.

“What I find fascinating is the younger ones that are coming across now to One Nation,” Hanson told Sky News host Caleb Bond.

Hanson’s party led the primary vote for the first time in history on 31%, a 25-point increase from the 2025 federal election.

Labor sank to its lowest-ever result of 26%, down 9% from the election.

Prime Minister Albanese’s personal approval rating dropped to 36% in the Newspoll, with the Sky News Pulse poll recording his satisfaction rating at 34%.

Both polls recorded that 60% of voters are dissatisfied with his performance.
