    This sorry saga continues as a longer recording surfaces.

    "The One Nation party's credibility is under renewed attack after an extended recording of a secret meeting revealed more details of a plan to charge inflated prices for campaign material.
    The party was embarrassed yesterday when a recording of adviser James Ashby suggesting profiting from campaign materials was leaked.
    But One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said the party's executive dismissed the idea.
    One Nation's 'brutal dictatorship'



    Pauline Hanson's One Nation party has been accused of intimidating and financially pressuring its own candidates and senior staffers.

    Cabinet Minister Matt Canavan said a longer version of the tape apparently does not show the plan being rejected.
    "Well I am very concerned — their stories are all at sea here, they are all over the place," Senator Canavan said.
    "One Nation like to present themselves as some pure and clean force in Australian politics but I think the more and more you see they are just another political party.
    "They have people in it that seem to be in it for their own gain and not for the interests of the Queensland or Australian people."
    "And they need to be held accountable for these revelations because they are very concerning."
    In the recording, the executive can be heard discussing how to make money by selling the candidates an advertising pack.
    "We should be selling them these [advertising] packs, because you make money and they make money," on man said.
    "Well they don't make any money, but you make money."
    Mr Ashby said it was “embarrassing" the discussion had been leaked, stating he had used "a poor choice of words"."
