Protesters clash outside One Nation fundraiser while Labor says opposition parties will ‘give us chaos’

Protesters clashed with supporters of Pauline Hanson outside a One Nation fundraiser in Melbourne on Friday, June 13, 2026. Police issued a move-on notice to Michael Nelson, who had been convicted of offensive behavior for disrupting an Anzac Day dawn service the previous week, after he was restrained by officers outside the South Melbourne venue. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson stated that the fundraiser's venue was changed due to "too many bookings" rather than in anticipation of protests. Separately, the Labor party commented that opposition parties would "give us chaos." The incident occurred amidst ongoing political discourse regarding the role and impact of opposition parties in the Australian political landscape.
