Hanson, who has previously called host Waleed Aly “very one-sided and biased”, cited an anonymous source who told her the show has been valued at a stonking $16M.
Apparently, ABC has approached Channel 10 in a secret deal to buy #TheProjectTV. Want to guess how much was offered? -PH #auspol

In a pretty rare move from the show, a quick tweet back confirmed that no, The Project is remaining at the network, even as it works through a period of voluntary administration.
There is no secret deal. #happyat10

What followed was a schoolground-level retort from the senator.
Correct. The ABC’s 16 million dollar offer to buy #TheProjectTV is no longer a secret because now everyone knows about it. -PH #auspol

Despite the fact that not only The Project, but the ABC itself reportedly told Hanson that there was no such deal, Hanson maintained that her still-unknown source is a rock-solid fount of info.
ABC have denied they offered Ten a secret $16 million deal for #TheProjectTV but I trust my source. They’re usually very reliable-PH #auspol
