There may be some doubt about whether One Nation has raised more than $2.7m in its Fire the Liar fundraising appeal this week but there is no doubt that the Daily Telegraph handed Pauline Hanson’s party coverage amounting to free front-page advertising.
As the fundraising drive kicked off at 6am on Wednesday, we couldn’t help but notice the Sydney tabloid’s front page. The valuable real estate screamed “Fighting Liar with Fire: One Nation fires back at Labor with $29 campaign fee”, and reproduced both Labor’s ad to supporters and Hanson’s.
