数千名来自约100所高中及大学的珀斯学生周四在珀斯中央商务区Forrest Chase举行集会，抗议One Nation党及其领导人Pauline Hanson的政策[1]。这场名为"学生拒绝Hanson"的活动是全国范围内的抗议行动，同步在多个州和地区首府举办[1]。
学生演讲者Sadie在现场表示："我们不是想坐在成人桌前的愚蠢孩子。我们相信要把Hanson的法西斯主义思想赶出我们的国家。"[1]
集会引发多方回应。One Nation议员Barnaby Joyce指责称："社会主义教师、左翼教师在发表声明，把孩子当作工具。"[1]Pauline Hanson则在社交媒体X平台发文表示要"教导年轻澳大利亚人如何思考，而不是思考什么"[1]。联邦教育部长Jason Clare建议学生留在课堂，改在周末进行抗议[1]。
Thousands of high school and university students gathered in Perth's central business district on Thursday to protest One Nation and its leader Pauline Hanson, marking part of a nationwide "Students Reject Hanson" demonstration held across multiple state and territory capitals [1]. The rally brought together students from approximately 100 different high schools alongside university attendees at Forrest Chase [1].
Student speakers directly challenged One Nation's policies during the event. One speaker named Sadie declared: "We are not stupid kids wanting to sit at the adult table. We believe in getting Hanson's fascist ideas out of our country" [1]. In response, Pauline Hanson posted on X platform calling to "teach young Australians how to think, not what to think" [1]. One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce countered the demonstration by stating: "Socialist teachers, left-wing teachers are making their statement and using the kids as a prop" [1]. Meanwhile, federal Education Minister Jason Clare suggested students remain in classrooms and conduct protests on weekends instead [1].
