FED:Audit shows fundraising is 'ridgy didge': One Nation

One Nation says it has proven its $2 million-plus anti-Labor fundraising drive to be legitimate after the prime minister questioned the authenticity of donations.

Party leader Pauline Hanson took to social media on Thursday evening to declare the "fire the liar" fundraising site and money were "ridgy didge", posting an audit document appearing to be produced by AI Strategy Consulting.

"I am satisfied that the fundraising total calculation currently includes only successfully received and validated donation payments," software engineer Daryl Monnink wrote in his audit report.

The audit was carried out by reviewing the website's source code, inspecting live databases and viewing the end-to-end donation process alongside Peter Arvoll, who built the site, Mr Monnink said.

Earlier on Thursday Mr Albanese questioned what evidence there was the party had actually raised the funds, and Labor operatives privately suggested One Nation's online donation counter might have been fraudulent.
