One Nation, the NRA and $20 million – inside journalism's most audacious sting. By the mastermind who infiltrated the NRA and One Nation and based on the award-winning documentary seen on ABC TV.
In 2019, the ABC aired an explosive investigative documentary, How to Sell a Massacre, revealing how One Nation solicited donations of up to $20 million from the NRA, promising in return to use the balance of power to soften gun laws in Australia.
Masterminded by veteran Australian journalist, Peter Charley, the elaborate sting saw Australian businessman Rodger Muller go undercover as the head of a fake Australian pro-gun advocacy group.
In How to Sell a Massacre, Peter Charley gives an inside account of the sting, drawing on more than 40 years’ reporting to explore how journalism has changed, and to make sense of why it was necessary to set a trap and catch the truth. Charley draws on previously unreleased transcripts of covertly recorded meetings between the NRA and One Nation to give graphic details of the undercover operation.
This true story contains deadly truth at its heart: that an Australian political party would seek foreign money in a bid to seize power and destroy the gun laws that keep Australians safe.
