Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has rejected “divisive politics” after One Nation leader Pauline Hanson headlined a “Put Australia First” rally against mass migration in Melbourne’s CBD.

The alternative rally against migration, different from the March from Australia, attracted an estimated 700 people who marched from Flinders Street to Flagstaff Gardens.
