Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison denounced a right-wing populist party Tuesday after its officials were filmed seeking millions of dollars in U.S. funding in exchange for pushing to ease Australia's strict gun laws.
The details: Al Jazeera's undercover report showed One Nation officials Steve Dickson and James Ashby meeting with U.S. pro-gun representatives. At one point, an NRA rep rejected their request for A$10 million ($7.1 million) in funding — which they said could win them enough seats in Australia’s Senate to influence government decisions. At a press conference Tuesday, Dickson and Ashby blamed alcohol for the incident.
