More than 100 protesters have gathered outside Star City Casino in Sydney, shouting death threats, specifically targeted at Pauline Hanson, where some high profile guests attended a charity event. <\/p>\n
Mining magnate Gina Rinehart was also among the guests for Saturday\u2019s ball, organised by neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The protest meant both Ms Hanson and Ms Rinehart were no shows by 9pm. A police riot squad attended, it has been reported. <\/p>\n
The event was delayed but the donations still came thick and fast for the charity. <\/p>\n
In two minutes the event raised $250,000. By 9pm more than $500,000 was raised.<\/p>\n
Dr Teo told the crowd of patients, doctors and celebrities that he invites politicians of all persuasions and was grateful Hanson took up the invite. <\/p>\n
He said he believes she wasn\u2019t a racist and was grateful she had agreed to attend. <\/p>\n
Ray Hadley took the lead as MC after Dr Teo friend and supporter Karl Stefanovic beamed in revealing he couldn\u2019t attend because of a podcast gig in London.<\/p>\n
Police have been contacted for comment. <\/p>\n
Pauline Hanson made a plea to federal authorities and the Prime Minister for high-level police protection, amid One Nation claims the senator is being targeted by violent extremists.<\/p>\n
