Following the success of Camelot Consulting in the South Australian state election, where the firm provided campaign strategy for the One Nation party, the consultancy has shifted its focus toward upcoming elections in New South Wales and Victoria.

As the Victorian state election approaches, One Nation candidates have come under scrutiny. Investigations have raised questions regarding residency requirements for state leader Warren Pickering and other candidates. Additionally, controversy has emerged regarding upper house candidate Natalie Adams, specifically concerning her past business ties to a convicted fraudster and significant tax debts involving her husband.
