One Nation chief of staff James Ashby just spoke to 2GB about the party’s new “Fire the Liar” fundraising campaign, which claims to have raised more than $1.7 million since it launched yesterday.
“I think it will go down in history. It goes down well in my history books. So, look, it is big. Yeah, that’s going to give us that firepower, and as I said, we’re going after Labor, because this is the worst Labor government. In fact, I think it’s the worst government we’ve ever seen in our political history in this country, and we’ve got a trillion dollars worth of debt now,” Ashby said.
He vowed to use the money to oust the Labor government.
“We’ve got to get rid of Albanese and the Labor government. It’s not just him, it’s Chris Bowen, it’s the whole front ministry there. Burke’s got to go the whole lot, every single one of them, and that’s what this money will do.”
Ben Fordham asked Ashby who came up with the “Fire the Liar” slogan. Ashby said he was watching news anchor Peta Credlin on Sky and “stole” the line from her.
“You wouldn’t believe it, but I was talking to Peta Credlin, and I was watching her show, and I stole it off her. Nothing quite like a borrowed line,” Ashby said.
