One Nation has been forced to relocate a planned fundraising event to an undisclosed location in Melbourne after the original venue decided not to host it due to anticipated protest activity. The event was set to feature One Nation leader Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce.
Fundraiser Moved After Police Concerns
A party spokesperson confirmed to Guardian Australia on Friday that the fundraiser would be moved from Giorgio Casa, a bistro in Moonee Ponds, following concerns raised by Victorian police about potential protest activity at the event. The spokesperson described the event as “sold out” but declined to specify the expected attendance.
Victoria Police stated that they were not aware of any specific threats directed at the event and noted that the decision to cancel was made by the venue itself.
