Dear Australian Electoral Commission,

 

Could you please provide details relevant to the funding sources (and
amounts) of the One Nation Party in the 2016 Federal Election in
particular the Senate Candidates running from the One Nation Party.

 

Can you please provide any information relevant to funding received by One
Nation from overseas, ie the National Rifleman's Association (NRA) in the
