Speaking after attending the March for Australia rally in Canberra, One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson praised the event as peaceful and diverse, despite media warnings of extremist involvement. She criticised both major parties for dismissing the rallies, arguing that everyday Australians are fed up with mass immigration, cost-of-living pressures, and being ignored by politicians. Senator Pauline Hanson also renewed her long-standing concerns about Aboriginal funding, highlighting more than $30 billion spent annually with little accountability, just four of 19 Closing the Gap targets met, and allegations of corruption within Aboriginal corporations. She called for a full inquiry and accused Labor of shutting down debate on Indigenous policy.
