  "account": "At an anti-immigration rally in Melbourne, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson was met with boos from the crowd as her party grappled with the lack of a clear plan to reduce migrant numbers. The event, one of several similar marches held across the nation, turned on One Nation after demonstrators perceived the party to have softened its immigration stance. Following the march to Victoria's Parliament House, the group was addressed by right-wing activists, including anti-immigration influencer Hugo Lennon, who accused Senator Hanson of declining an invitation to speak. The crowd chanted \"Pauline, Pauline, where the f*** is Pauline?\" as they marched back to Flinders Station. A spokesperson for Hanson claimed she had prior commitments in Victoria. One Nation's migration policy target of 130,000 people per year has been disputed by various party members, with federal MP David Farley suggesting an additional 100,000 migrants could be added. Barnaby Joyce clarified that the 130,000 net target would remain, but did not specify the permanent migrant portion, stating that net migration depends on various factors. Pacific Minister Pat Conroy stated that half of the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) workers would typically count towards net migration figures.",
