One Nation supporters were ushered through a gauntlet of student protesters at Queens Wharf on Sunday as two of the party's leaders, with Hunter candidate Stuart Bonds, set sail on the cruise of Newcastle Harbour.
Mr Bonds, who has been tapped to lead One Nation's NSW Upper House contest alongside NSW investment commissioner and investment banker Mike Newman as the party's Cessnock challenger, arrived on Sunday with Mr Newman, carrying a large Australian flag on his shoulder filming as the protesters jeered.
