Great news for fans of comedian Michael Hing’s totally serious attempt to run for Senate: the One Asian party has officially been endorsed by Stormy Daniels, as well as all your favourite Australian comedians.

One Asian, if you’ve forgotten, is Hing’s answer to One Nation, designed to demonstrate just how easy it is to get voted in as a senator in this country. It may sound like a pisstake, but Hing wants you to know it’s Extremely Serious — One Asian has its own website, its own crowdsourced slogan (“Hings can only get better”), and its own theme song, which is pretty catchy:

You may remember Daniels as the porn star who was (probably, allegedly) paid off by Donald Trump to keep their affair a secret.

Still, I know what you’re thinking: how did a small Australian political party manage to snatch an endorsement from Stormy Daniels? Through Cameo, it turns out — that app where you can pay celebrities to record a message for you. It cost a cool $250, but that’s a small price to pay for this stunning endorsement. Check it out:

And if that hasn’t convinced you, Hing has also snagged endorsements from almost every comedian in Australia, or so it seems. Tom Ballard, Aunty Donna, Jordan Raskopoulos, Nina Oyama and Wil Anderson are amongst those who’ve lent their support. They’ve described Hing as “eligible”, “definitely eligible”, and “completely innocent of all charges”, and confirmed to the public that “there is no doubt, in my mind, that Michael Hing is an Asian man”. It’s powerful stuff.

Don’t take our word for it, though — you can watch a selection of glowing endorsements for Michael Hing’s One Asian below.
