One Nation officials have been secretly recorded asking American pro-gun groups for millions of dollars to help the party relax gun control in Australia.
The party's Queensland leader Steve Dickson and chief of staff James Ashby travelled to the US on several fundraising missions last year.
In one meeting with representatives from the powerful National Rifle Association, Mr Dickson described gun control as a 'poison' and said his party could 'change Australia' if it were given money.
In one meeting with a representative from the NRA, Mr Ashby is thought to be heard saying that US$20 million in donations to One Nation from US pro-gun lobbyists would give them parliamentary influence in Australia

The pair also met representatives of Koch Industries, an American company whose founders have donated millions to conservative causes.
Before the meeting, Mr Ashby said he was going to ask for $20million.
In one meeting with the NRA, One Nation figures Mr Dickson and Mr Ashby discussed donations with Mr Muller, an undercover reporter posing as a gun rights lobbyist.
Dickson: 'If we could get that sort of money, imagine, we could change Australia.'
Muller: 'If One Nation could get $10 million'
Ashby: 'You would pick up eight Senate seats.'
Dickson: 'I mean, that guarantees you the balance of power, you'd have the whole Government by the balls.'

One Nation wanted their overseas missions to be kept secret and Mr Ashby said if people found out 'it'll f*****g rock the boat.'
According to secret recordings, Leader Pauline Hanson was aware of the visits but decided not to go herself, saying she was focussed on campaigning at home.
But the party was exposed by undercover reporter Rodger Muller working for Qatari news network Al-Jazeera.
Over the course of three years, Muller posed as the founder of a fake lobby group called Gun Rights Australia.
He became friendly with NRA and One Nation officials, arranged meetings between them and secretly filmed them.
Footage aired in a documentary about Muller's investigation aired on Monday shows a meeting with the NRA in Washington, DC in September 2018.
Mr Dickson told NRA officials that gun control is a 'poison' spreading throughout the world.
He said Australian gun law is important in context of a global battle for gun rights.
'If we don't change things, people are going to be looking at Australia and go 'Well, it's OK for them to go down the path of not having guns, it's OK for them to go down that politically-correct path',' he said.
