One Nation’s “Fire the Liar” campaign, aimed at raising funds to defeat Labor in the upcoming federal election, has crossed $2 million goal in just 24 hours.

The party launched its fundraiser in response to Labor’s own efforts to raise funds against One Nation, which recently topped consecutive polls to be the most popular party in the country.

One Nation is ahead of Labor in Roy Morgan’s June 2 poll, rising 2.5 percent to 29.5 percent, while Labor dropped 1 percent to 26 percent.

The Coalition trails both on 17.5 percent, having fallen 2.5 percent.

Labor has called on supporters to part with $27 each to help counter One Nation’s rise amid consistent high polling for the once-minor party.

On Labor’s donation page, a pop-up also emerges urging supporters to, “Stop One Nation.”

“If One Nation continues to grow unchecked, the consequences will be real for working people, for our economy, and for the future of the country,” the page says.

The site lists a preferred donation amount of $80, while asking for a minimum of $35 and a maximum of $1,500. Supporters can also enter their own amount.

By June 10, One Nation had started canvassing its supporters for a financial boost, sending text messages that said: “Labor is destroying the Australia we know, help us raise money to fire the liar,” referring to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

One Nation’s donation page claims Albanese has lied to Australians on immigration, ISIS brides, tax cuts and changes, the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, electricity prices, Medicare, bulk billing, and negative gearing changes.

As of noon on June 11, One Nation’s campaign had raised $1,877,711, crossing the $2 million mark just after 2 p.m.

One Nation set its preferred donation at $60, but lists options from $29 to $2,000 or allows donors to enter their own amount.

In a statement on social media platform X, Hanson said the “Australia we know” was being destroyed.

“Albo and his MPs lie and cheat Aussies out of home ownership, a decent standard of living and a comfortable retirement,” she said.

“One Nation has proven we can win lower house seats—so it’s time to target Labor held seats.”

In response to One Nation’s counter-campaign, Albanese told reporters that Hanson had “made a career” out of division.

“I'll stick to what I’m here for. What people will weigh up over a period of time is what’s the policy on health? What’s the policy on education? What’s the policy on the minimum wage for working people?” he said.

“Why is it that One Nation and their three right-wing parties—I’ve deemed the Liberal One National Party—always vote against the interests of working people, whether it be opposing the minimum wage increase that we saw just at the beginning of last week or whether it be other measures like ’same jobs same pay?'”

“The investment in health, the investment in education, the support for young people getting a crack at home ownership, they’re the things that matter.”
