One Nation party leader Pauline Hanson and MP Barnaby Joyce relocated a Melbourne fundraiser to an undisclosed location after a party spokesperson told ABC News that Victoria Police and the Australian Federal Police had advised the move, citing planned protests. Multiple protest groups had vowed to demonstrate outside the original venue, an Italian restaurant in Melbourne's inner north. Hanson has since denied the event was relocated because of the protesters, according to ABC News.
