Protestors have ambushed One Nation leader Pauline Hanson’s first National Press Club speech in Canberra.

Hanson was talking about the cost of living when a bright yellow banner dropped down behind her.

“I oppose a pay rise for workers while I took a $100,000 pay rise for myself,” the banner read.

She glanced back at the banner and smiled before continuing her address. The banner was ripped down by staff shortly after.

Dozens of demonstrators had been gathering outside the venue, before Hanson’s address.

They brandished placards reading “Canberra says no to Hanson”, “reject racism” and “One Nation serves the billionaires”.
