One Nation wants the ABC stripped of $1.2 billion over a skit about Gina Rinehart. Her money bought the party its plane, and about 20 flights before that.
Senator Sean Bell says the segment proves the ABC should go subscription-only, ten days after Hanson's register showed Rinehart paid her European flights.
One Nation wants the ABC's public funding scrapped over a four-minute film about Gina Rinehart.
One Nation's Senate whip, Sean Bell, told News24 on Friday the "absolutely disgusting" saga proved the case for the policy Pauline Hanson took to the National Press Club in June.
"I mean, the ABC took too long to apologise, as they always do," Mr Bell said. "And I mean this goes to exactly why One Nation is of the opinion the ABC needs to be turned into a subscription pay service."
Under it the $1.2 billion in annual funding goes, city services move behind a paywall and regional radio is carved out.
Kate McGuinness's film, A Very Relaxing Video, aired on Race Around the World on 12 July.
It closed with a voiceover imagining Mrs Rinehart being sodomised and killed, then made into "one big sausage roll".
Hancock Prospecting wrote to the ABC board on 23 July demanding the material be pulled and a public apology issued. Mrs Rinehart threatened legal action, arguing the film was a serious risk to her safety.
The ABC Ombudsman found no breach, citing the program's M classification and history of provocative satire. Managing director Hugh Marks apologised anyway on Thursday, 25 days after broadcast, pulled the segment and tightened the ABC's guidance on violence.
Ms McGuinness said her writing was "cartoonish and always satirical" and never meant literally.
What Mr Bell did not mention is who pays for One Nation.
Mrs Rinehart covered Senator Hanson's flights from London to Sicily and back, and her ticket to a Dolce & Gabbana show, on a trip that ran from 11 to 16 July. The segment went to air on day two of it.
She disclosed them on 28 July, five days after Hancock wrote to the board. Days earlier she had told a Seven West Media event: "It didn't cost the taxpayer one cent for my trip overseas. Not one cent."
The flights are the smallest item on the ledger.
In April a company owned by Mrs Rinehart donated One Nation a Cirrus G7 aircraft, valued by Senator Hanson's spokesman at $2.1 million.
Hancock Agriculture chief executive Adam Giles and Hancock Energy executive director Ian Plimer gave $500,000 each, five times One Nation's previous record donation from an individual.
Stockbroker Angus Aitken, who gave the Liberals $230,000 before the 2025 election, has committed $1.1 million.
Electoral commission records show One Nation representatives have taken about 20 flights on Mrs Rinehart's Gulfstream G700 and other company aircraft, including at least one to Florida.
Guardian Australia found five of Senator Hanson's flights went undeclared inside six months, including trips on Hancock's beef company S Kidman and Co.
Reuters reported Mrs Rinehart has been running events several times a week to move Liberal donors across, including $15,000-a-seat dinners and a fundraiser whose prize was a trip to Mar-a-Lago.
In June, Mrs Rinehart handed Senator Hanson a toy orange bulldozer on stage at a News Corp conference in Townsville.
At the same appearance where she announced the subscription policy, Senator Hanson banned a Guardian Australia reporter for having "this obsession with constantly trying to pull down myself, my party or Mrs [Gina] Rinehart".
The ABC has apologised. One Nation wants it defunded anyway.
