"He hasn't given up." Pauline Hanson says a One Nation volunteer hospitalised after an alleged attack outside his Torquay home wants to return and put his election signs back up.

Speaking at a press conference broadcast from Geelong, Hanson described his condition as "serious but stable". She said he had suffered bleeding on the brain and had lost consciousness. The channel is keeping his name private to protect him and his family.

According to Hanson's account, the volunteer approached people damaging One Nation signs on his property before he was assaulted and his vehicle damaged. She said the incident was under police investigation. Victoria deputy leader Colleen Harkin characterised it as a political attack.

The upload prompted more than 2,000 comments in its first day, although its views were ordinary for the channel. Viewers discussed sentencing and consequences for violence, alongside messages of support for the injured man and appeals to vote for One Nation.

Hanson also announced a fundraiser to help the family during his recovery. In a separate upload about visiting the volunteer, she returned to the detail that stood out in her press conference: he still wanted to put the signs up.
