US EditionHanson addresses anti-immigration rally
Put Australia First marched for immigration reform and against digital IDs with Senator Hanson speaking; counter-protesters supported migrants and LGBTQ+ rights amid heavy police presence.
- On November 30, 2025, Senator Pauline Hanson spoke at the Put Australia First rally in Melbourne after about 700 people marched from Flinders Street Station to Flagstaff Gardens.
- Hanson said multiculturalism and globalisation divide the nation, urging measures like stricter English requirements as the Coalition considers a new migration policy to be announced in coming weeks.
- Victoria Police expanded powers this week in the CBD, Docklands and Southbank search area after two officers were hospitalised, while counter-protesters supporting migrants, women and the trans community dispersed at about 1pm outside the State Library, Melbourne.

- Police warned the marches could get tangled with crowds at the Metro Tunnel opening and pre-Christmas sales, while calm contrasted with last month’s protests that led to multiple arrests, and a Redbridge/Accent poll shows One Nation leading on immigration.
