QLD TAXIS DENY $2.3M FUND FOR HANSON

By AAP

A group representing taxi drivers in Queensland has denied a multi-million dollar “fighting fund” will be donated to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation.
Taxi Council Queensland member Peter Conohan told the ABC on Monday that members had voted unanimously on Tuesday in favour of a $720-per-head levy, equating to about $2.3 million in total, to support the party before the upcoming state election.
“This is most probably our last chance. Pauline is a worker, she voices her opinion very verbally, where everyone else has put their head in the sand,” Mr Conohan told ABC Radio.
Senator Hanson has been a vocal critic of the Palaszczuk government’s decision to legalise ride-sharing services such as Uber in August last year.
