Story summary

Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party in Australia, issued a dire warning on social media that unless mass migration is stopped, Australia will face violent riots similar to those currently happening in France. She claims these protests are a consequence of high levels of immigration and warned that cities like Paris have been experiencing significant unrest with more than half a million people participating in demonstrations over the past five weeks. In France alone, over 2,000 protesters were arrested amid violence and looting, including an incident where Limoges Town Hall was burned down. Hanson asserts that unless Australia addresses its immigration policies similarly to how these European nations have struggled with them, similar violent protests will erupt in Australian cities.
