On November 12, Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini was detained twice by Victoria Police while covering school students protesting Senator Pauline Hanson near Melbourne’s State Library.
Officers cited breaching the peace, but released him each time without charges after removing him from the scene.
The walkouts opposed Hanson’s One Nation party ahead of the November 28 Victorian election, with Hanson urging kids to return to class amid concerns over falling math and science standards.
Supporters like Senator Babet called for police to allow journalists to work freely, as Yemini vowed to challenge the incidents legally.
