One Nation attempts to secure millions from NRA to soften Australia’s gun laws

Senior One Nation figures James Ashby and Steve Dickson have been caught on camera seeking millions of dollars of political donations from US gun rights group the National Rifle Association in a bid to seize the balance of power in the Australian parliament and weaken Australia’s gun laws. An al-Jazeera journalist posing as pro-gun campaigner used secret cameras showing the pair endorsing NRA counter-attack lines in the event of a gun massacre. NRA media liaison Lars Dalseide offers advice on what to say in response to mass shootings, suggesting pro-gun politicians should 'shame' opponents with lines such as 'How dare you stand on the graves of those children to put forward your political agenda?' Dickson replies: 'I love that.'nSubscribe to Guardian News on YouTube bit.ly/guardianwiressubnnSupport the Guardian support.theguardian.com/contributennToday in Focus podcast www.theguardian.com/news/series/todayinfocusnnThe Guardian YouTube network:nnThe Guardian www.youtube.com/theguardiannOwen Jones talks bit.ly/subsowenjonesnGuardian Football is.gd/guardianfootballnGuardian Sport bit.ly/GDNsportnGuardian Culture is.gd/guardianculture
