Pauline Hanson has been confronted by a small group of Aboriginal protesters who've objected to her campaign visit to Geraldton in regional Western Australia.

About 10 people held up a banner with "Get off Yamaji land Pauline H" as she arrived at a shopping centre in Geraldton.

Some later approached her at a coffee shop inside the centre, where she tried to engage them in conversation before they were removed by security staff.
