'We were on the sauce,' James Ashby says of One Nation's gun lobby tape

Queensland One Nation leader, Steve Dickson, and Pauline Hanson's chief of staff, James Ashby, have faced the media in Brisbane after the release of hidden camera footage that showed the two men discussing a donation of $20m from the US National Rifle Association. Ashby, seeking to explain the circumstances and the conversations with an undercover al-Jazeera reporter, Rodger Muller, said: 'We'd arrived in America, we got on the sauce, we'd had a few drinks and that's where those discussions took place, not with any potential donors.'nSubscribe to Guardian News on YouTube bit.ly/guardianwiressubnnOne Nation's James Ashby filmed seeking $20m from NRA to weaken Australia's gun laws www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/mar/26/one-nations-james-ashby-filmed-lobbying-for-20m-in-nra-donations-to-weaken-australias-gun-lawsnnOne Nation's James Ashby says he was 'on the sauce' when seeking $20m from NRA www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/mar/26/one-nations-james-ashby-says-he-was-on-the-sauce-when-seeking-20m-from-nrannSupport 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
