One Nation could face deregistration in Queensland

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation appears to be in hot water again, as it is claimed a secret change in their operating structure may see them unregistered as a party in Queensland.

Labor Senator Murray Watt says he has ‘referred new allegations about One Nation’s secretive internal operations to the Queensland Electoral Commission for investigation’.

A report in the Saturday Paper claimed the party changed from an unincorporated association to an incorporated association in November, and claims this was done to protect members from legal liability.

The report claims Pauline Hanson neglected to inform the Electoral Commission of Queensland or her members of the change, which is in breach of electoral laws.

The issue with the now-incorporated party is that there is a very minimal constitution, which is missing mandatory clauses, required under both Queensland and Commonwealth electoral laws.
