One Nation co-founder David Ettridge has asked the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) to investigate the electoral fraud case that saw himself and the former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson jailed and then released on appeal.The Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commission is investigating the case, but Mr Ettridge has given his submission to that inquiry to the ACC, saying he does not trust the Queensland body.
Mr Ettridge says his submission, which is several hundred pages, contains new allegations against Queensland Premier Peter Beattie and the Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott.
"I'm going to ask the Australian Crime Commission to conduct an independent inquiry into this matter because it must be investigated independently and impartially, and I don't believe that will happen in Queensland," he said.
