Some One Nation members say they have been kept in the dark about two AGMs to be held this week, possibly in breach of the party’s constitution.

The online promotional material for Thursday’s event says “members will be asked to vote on important party matters such as constitutional amendments”.

But it is understood no agenda has been sent to members – including those in executive positions – in the lead-up to the meetings of the Queensland and national organisations at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

“I’ve been asking for [the agenda],” one senior party member from outside Queensland said on Monday.

There have been no forms sent to members who wish to nominate for party executive positions.

One former party official said, at least in the case of the Queensland AGM, it was a breach of the party’s constitution.

The constitution says nominations for executive positions must be lodged at least 42 days before the election. Then a list of candidates should be distributed to branches 28 days before the election.

A website promoting the AGM says members can “see exclusive speeches from Senator Pauline Hanson, Senator Malcolm Roberts, Senator Brian Burston and Senator Peter Georgiou and a host of other inspiring party officials”.

The Eventbrite website shows the event, which was ticketed at $30 for members and $20 for pensioners, had “sold out”.

The party’s financial report is expected to be presented by Hanson’s brother-in-law Greg Smith.

A party national executive meeting will be held in Brisbane on Wednesday. Hanson’s office declined to comment. Comment was being sought from the One Nation head office.
