She said no, but then she said, I feel pretty safe walking around all of Australia, but there&#8217;s certain places I won&#8217;t go,\u201d Kenny told 2GB\u2019s Ben Fordham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI asked where, and she said, \u2018Well, I won&#8217;t walk the streets of Melbourne. There&#8217;s too much animosity. There&#8217;s too much vitriol directed at me, and they always threaten death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSays she&#8217;s happy in regional Victoria, but in the middle of Melbourne, a no-go zone for Pauline Hanson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senator Hanson\u2019s comments were made shortly after she attended a One Nation event to announce the party\u2019s first eight state election candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the event, a group of 50 to 100 protesters brandished signs such as \u201cSmash racism anti-colonialism class war 4 liberation&#8221;, &#8220;no nazi never again&#8221; and &#8220;f**k Israel&#8221;, while chanting slogans at supporters who were protected by a large Victoria Police presence.<\/p>\n<p>Kenny said that he had never seen a larger police presence than the one at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole of this Melbourne city block was flooded with police, and there were another dozen or more inside the hotel where the event was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMelbourne police are obviously very, very worried. Not just about protesters, but\u00a0 &#8211; I would suggest &#8211; they&#8217;re worried about attacks on One Nation leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the News24 host said the reaction to Ms Hanson was vastly different around the rest of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve been astounded by how people treat Pauline Hanson. She is like a rock star, and people from all walks of life come up to her, shake her hands. They want to get a selfie with her, and they invariably tell her that they support her, and they think she&#8217;s saving the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung people aren&#8217;t afraid to say that they will vote for One Nation. Young women, migrants, people of every ethnic background talk to us in this documentary and say they support One Nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndigenous people out in Western New South Wales as well. One of the standouts for me that&#8217;s in the documentary is a very majestic-looking Sikh man in a turban. Of course, a Sikh wears a turban, but it&#8217;s in One Nation orange, right? And he says that Pauline Hanson is the person to save the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s an incredible burden they&#8217;re putting on her, an incredible amount of hope, and it&#8217;s amazing to see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pauline Hanson has revealed why she won\u2019t walk the streets of Melbourne, telling News24 it\u2019s the one place&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79916,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[124135,105125,41536,114710,124146,78595,26435,78567,124142,97634,36507,124137,124155,124138,83474,124151,100083,124156,43821,124139,124149,98739,51759,121254,124152,124153,26366,22,23,21,124140,2871,312,2717,39751,124159,124158,124157,11674,57213,61517,51140,49864,58872,41790,73277,3959,41272,3430,260,52235,24462,37039,124136,65099,124165,124132,124143,1955,124133,124161,32111,124160,1926,7350,34917,1047,124148,14165,1629,6901,105130,78558,67350,33441,124145,124141,40545,37024,120040,39261,41601,44197,36924,124164,56665,124144,120014,38919,124163,37011,41244,39460,43721,38553,41551,124154,52003,37022,124150,43781,124147,124134,2554,124131,124162,4382,14038],"class_list":["post-79915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-viciousness","tag-s-ben-fordham","tag-s-comments","tag-s-fight","tag-s-first-eight-state-election-candidates","tag-k-israel","tag-2gb","tag-4-liberation","tag-50-to-100-protesters","tag-7pm","tag-a-group","tag-a-large-victoria-police-presence","tag-a-larger-police-presence","tag-a-no-go-zone","tag-a-one-nation-event","tag-a-rock-star","tag-a-selfie","tag-a-sikh","tag-a-subscriber","tag-a-turban","tag-a-very-majestic-looking-sikh-man","tag-all-walks","tag-an-event","tag-an-incredible-amount","tag-an-incredible-burden","tag-another-dozen-or-more","tag-attacks","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-austrlia","tag-certain-places","tag-chris-kenny","tag-crime","tag-death","tag-earlier-this-month","tag-even-calls","tag-every-ethnic-background","tag-fight-for-the-right","tag-hanson","tag-her-death","tag-her-fear","tag-her-hands","tag-her-life","tag-her-safety","tag-hope","tag-host-chris-kenny","tag-indigenous-people","tag-kenny","tag-life","tag-melbourne","tag-melbourne-police","tag-migrants","tag-ms-hanson","tag-nastiness","tag-news24","tag-news24-com-au-subscribers","tag-newswire-martin-ollman-senator-hanson","tag-no-nazi","tag-one-nation","tag-one-nation-leaders","tag-one-nation-orange","tag-one-nation-supporters","tag-paulien-hanson","tag-pauline-hanson","tag-people","tag-picture","tag-police","tag-pretty-safe-walking","tag-protesters","tag-regional-victoria","tag-signs","tag-slogans","tag-smash-racism-anti-colonialism-class-war","tag-stream","tag-supporters","tag-the-australian-luis-enrique-ascui-chris-kenny","tag-the-australian-city","tag-the-comments","tag-the-country","tag-the-documentary","tag-the-event","tag-the-fight","tag-the-hotel","tag-the-middle","tag-the-news24-host","tag-the-one","tag-the-one-city","tag-the-one-nation-event","tag-the-one-nation-leader","tag-the-one-place","tag-the-party","tag-the-person","tag-the-reaction","tag-the-response","tag-the-rest","tag-the-right","tag-the-right-documentary","tag-the-standouts","tag-the-streets","tag-the-viciousness-and-nastiness","tag-the-whole","tag-this-documentary","tag-this-melbourne-city-block","tag-tony-gough","tag-too-much-vitriol","tag-western-new-south-wales","tag-young-people","tag-young-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
