澳大利亚墨尔本数千名学生于周四下午参加大规模抗议游行，表达对一国党领导人保琳·汉森及其政策的反对[1]。游行从下午2点在维州州立图书馆启动，队伍经过斯旺斯顿街等地，学生们高喊"保琳令人厌恶"和"种族主义者、性别歧视者、反酷儿，我们不要汉森来这里"的口号[1]。
此举引发了政界关注。联邦教育部长杰森·克莱尔对学生缺席学校提出不满，表示"如果人们想在周末抗议，那尽管去，但当学校上课时，我希望你们在学校，去学习"[1]。不过，学生们认为这是表达立场的重要方式。学生朱尔斯·阿普拉表示"我们拒绝仅仅适应哈森主义的新'常态'"[1]。
此次游行由高中反资本主义者联盟和全国学生联盟组织[1]。抗议的背景源于汉森在6月国家新闻俱乐部的演讲中呼吁建立单一文化的澳大利亚[1]。对此，一国党维州议员里基-李·泰瑞尔否认该党是种族主义者[1]。
Thousands of high school students in Melbourne walked out of classes to demonstrate against One Nation leader Pauline Hanson and her policies [1]. The rally began at 2 p.m. on Thursday, departing from the State Library of Victoria and proceeding through central streets including Swanston Street [1].
Organizers from the High School Anti-Capitalist Alliance and the National Union of Students coordinated the demonstration, where participants chanted slogans including "Pauline is appalling" and "racist, sexist, anti-queer, we don't want Hanson here" [1]. The protest was prompted in part by remarks Hanson made at the National Press Club in June, in which she advocated for a single-culture Australia [1].
Federal Education Minister Jason Clare publicly urged students to remain in classrooms, stating: "If people want to protest on the weekend, then fill your boots, but I want you at school when school is on, learning" [1]. Nevertheless, participating students defended their action as a necessary form of political expression. Student Jules Apraux declared: "We refuse to just adapt to the new 'normal' of Hansonism" [1].
One Nation's Victorian MP Rickie-Lee Tyrrell rejected characterizations of the party as racist [1].
