Australia’s election watchdog is digging into One Nation’s finances after revelations that mining titan Gina Rinehart is hosting paid political dinners to fund the party, alongside a $1.5 million plane donation and $2 million from her circle.

The AEC warns of penalties up to triple any undeclared spending, while One Nation also faces criticism for failing to declare election spending and financial statements — all as federal disclosure laws are set to change next year.
