One Nation has raised almost $2 million in just over a day in a crowd-funding campaign aimed directly at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Dubbed “Fire the liar”, the campaign began on social media on Wednesday morning and had raised nearly $1.8 million by just over 24 hours later.

James Ashby, the chief of staff to One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, said he had set a $1 million goal for the end of the financial year before “blitzing” it with donations from 28,000 people.

“The money that has been raised by everyday mum and dad Aussies out there who have just had a gutful of this Prime Minister,” he said.

It has raised the goal on its campaign page as each of its targets has been hit.

One Nation is surging in polling, recently pulling ahead of Labor to become the country’s most popular party. The Coalition has sunk to a distant third with voters.

Earlier, Hanson accused Albanese of lying about his tax ambitions, so-called “ISIS brides’, immigration and his infamous stage “fall” during the last federal election campaign.

“Albo and his MPs lie and cheat Aussies out of home ownership, a decent standard of living and a comfortable retirement. One Nation has proven we can win lower house seats – so it’s time to target Labor-held seats,” she wrote in a post to social media.

One Nation’s campaign was a retaliation to an earlier Labor fundraiser that asked donors to chip in $27 to fund its fight against Hanson. It has reached tens of thousands of social media users since launching on June 1.

“To all Labor supporters. Please don’t scroll past this,” one of its advertisements said.

“We are asking you to contribute any amount to Labor’s campaign to take on One Nation today. Ninety-nine per cent of people reading this won’t contribute.

“We hope you’ll be different. If everyone seeing this contributed $27 we’d have the resources to prevent One Nation from turning polling momentum into seats.”

Hanson said earlier this week she found the campaign “absolutely disgusting”.

“I can tell you there are [28] million Australians in this country, poor Australians, and we have a Prime Minister on over $600,000 a year,” she said.

“He has how many properties, and he is asking the average Australian to donate to his party?”

One Nation’s campaign page says “Albo thinks $27 buys him the right to silence us. We think Australians deserve a real choice”.

“Donate to help One Nation’s quest to FIRE THE LIAR!” it says.

Ashby said Albanese “threw the first punch and we just retaliated”.

“His negative campaign has actually backfired because we leant into this negative campaign and we’ve… made over a million dollars,” he said.

On Wednesday, Albanese said he wasn’t concerned about the development.

“I’ll let Pauline Hanson engage in negative activity. What I’m doing here is actually doing something real for people, and that’s the difference … promoting division takes the country nowhere,” he said.

Libs have ‘no plan’ to carve out seats with One Nation

Elsewhere, amid growing alarm within the Coalition about the rise of Hanson’s party, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor rejected a deal with her on avoiding running competing candidates in some seats.

“No, there’s no plan to carve up seats. We won’t be doing that,” he told ABC News Breakfast on Thursday.

“What we will be doing is focusing on a Labor government that’s taking this country in the wrong direction with higher taxes, with less houses, with immigration that has not been in line with our housing supply, and with an energy system that is broken.”

The Australian reported earlier that Liberal frontbencher Tony Pasin has urged his party to discuss working with One Nation to avoid competing against each other.

Opposition defence spokesman James Paterson also rebuffed Pasin’s proposal.

“I am not interested in dividing the spoils with another political party two years out from the election, and frankly, hitching our wagon to their brand with all the risks that that entails between now and then,” he told ABC radio.

“Who knows what policies One Nation is going to come out with between now and then? Who knows what candidates they’re going to endorse?

“The Liberal Party needs to focus on earning back the trust and support of our traditional voters who we’ve lost, before we contemplate any arrangement with any other party.”

Taylor has previously left the door open to preferencing One Nation, although his party remains split on that option.
