Prime Minister Scott Morrison has backed the Liberal Party's calls to investigate the funding structures of a number of high-profile independents, including Julia Banks, Zali Steggall and Kerryn Phelps.

It comes amid allegations Malcolm Turnbull's son has been helping to organise donations for Ms Banks' election campaign to remove Health Minister Greg Hunt from the Victorian seat of Flinders. Mr Morrison argues the issue of 'Indepdenents Inc' remains a question which the independent candidates need to address.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps After the Al Jazeera expose on Ashby, Dickson & the NRA + her Port Arthur 'conspiracy,' I think the public has quickly woken up to Hanson.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps I think the public is finally waking up to you PaulineHansonOz

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps What ever! Pauline 🙄

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps I don't know that you should be talking about funding Pauline given your minions caught on tape trying to solicit money from the NRA HowToSellAMassacre

MRobertsQLD PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps WE have a prominent Independent candidate here in Wangaratta pursuing what can only be described as a very sophisticated and quite expensive campaign. I suspect there might well be some assistance from GetUp.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Given PHON has dropped to 4%, some *are* slowly waking up.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Funding questions around independents? Really? How about the massive funding question that roughly 13 million voters have around you Pauline?

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps The love shown for the Paulie's on twitter is very different to the love shown them on Facebook. On Facebook it is wetspot love. (dwell on THAT if you dare) On twitter, more 'if you were on fire I wouldn't piss onya, ya fucking goblins' kinda love

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Hey pm_live can you ask Pauline about her position on gun control please

stephanos3867 PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps At 29% of the vote - I'd say there needs to be an investigation if she holds on to it. The Medevac debaclé was an expensive and pointless attempt to destablilise common sense!

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Like waking up to you and the NRA

tinka133 PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps How low does the manipulating major parties go to desperately win an election Both Liberal and Labor Use the Media to tell the public that One Nation is falling behind based on there internal polling,Internal polling is a Lie when in fact Liberal and Labor are losing votes👍

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Hanson has been grifting the AEC for years. And has her lackeys seeking NRA / Koch Btos $$$$- For her to question any other candidates funding is extraordinary.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Better than begging the NRA for cash, hey Pauline?

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Just when you thought things could not get any grubbier in this election out comes this thing to make the lies and bullshit 3 times worse.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps I’ll tell you what’s backfired, being a puppet and repeating stuff you think people “really” believe.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps People put her in there because didn’t like coalition or labour yet she sided coalition all time why

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps NRA Pauline ?

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Selling our democracy out. Disgusting.

MRobertsQLD PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps

GCobber99 PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Wot?

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Pauline was a Liberal before, and still is. She's just managed to convince enough poor deluded souls that she's 'different' and 'listening'to them. She votes with the Libs so what's thex'difference'.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Ashually why would you turn up. It hardly boosts your profile being on Paul Murray. Gone are the days of a huge scandal taking a toll. Paul and the gang certainly helped Pauline and her ‘sauce’ guys. slpng_giants_oz Even the ‘jockey’ is back on QandA this week.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Is she a real doctor? She's not half as smart as most doctors I know. Oh that's right, she's a fully qualified GP who has no real specialty skills. He brother is probably more intelligent.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Pauline never fails to stick up for the liberal party. Funny. You’d be electoral poison in Wentworth.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Hanson is a liar.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Ohhh ffs who are the ‘left’ media! And just quietly Kerryn had a far bigger profile than you before politics!

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Yeah - nah ...... can I get 2 x burgers with the lot, $5 of chips, a chiko roll, 4 x mini dim sims ..... and a can of Pash ... a pouch of White Ox .... and some Tally-Hos? Ta

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Pauline is off her nut.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps This womanwas exposed on national tv about her dealing with the gun lobbyists from America! NRMA rings. Bell pauline

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps But sucking up to the NRA is totes legit...

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Yep true. 👍🏻

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Let’s hope Pauline.

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Squawks Ms 4%😂 as her team of knuckle-dragging numpties & misfits disappears up its own fundament

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps So it will backfire at the NEXT ELECTION so she will be fine for this one! Good to know Poorline, how is the nrma going? Are you still interested in joining?

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps 4%

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps Yes Pauline people are awake to your party also

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps From the person whos vote just fell through the floor she would know, but thats to be expected when you try auctioning Australian gun laws for political donations

PaulineHansonOz drkerrynphelps “These people”...? Guess that says it all...
