One Nation’s Melbourne fundraiser moved over protest concerns

A One Nation fundraiser in Melbourne has been moved to an undisclosed location after several protest groups vowed to demonstrate outside, the party says.

Party leader Pauline Hanson and MP Barnaby Joyce were both slated to speak at the fundraiser, which was being held at Giorgio Casa, an Italian restaurant in Moonee Ponds in Melbourne’s inner-north.

The Party told the ABC the decision to move the event was due to advice from Victoria Police and the Australian Federal Police.

Several anti-racism groups had posted online rallying people to protest at the event, saying they planned to meet nearby, before marching to the restaurant.

The Moonee Valley City Council posted on social media earlier on Friday, warning the public to avoid the area during the protest if possible.
