‘Thank God it was only a banner’: Security fears explode after Hanson event breach
Sky News host James Macpherson believes activists gaining covert access and remotely triggering a device near One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson exposed alarming security vulnerabilities. “GetUp were able to gain prior access to a venue where a well-known right-wing speaker was to give an address, then used a remote control to activate a device within metres of the podium,” Mr Macpherson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Thank God it was only a banner, but it just goes to show the more Pauline grows … the more seriously they’re going to need to take security.”
