两人因涉嫌用棒球棍袭击澳大利亚右翼民粹政党“一个国家党”志愿者而被捕。
Two people have been arrested after a volunteer for Australia's right-wing populist party One Nation was allegedly assaulted with a baseball bat.
一名37岁男子和一名14岁男孩于周日晚间在托基一名志愿者住所外发生事件后被捕，托基位于墨尔本西南约100公里（62英里）处。
A man, 37, and a boy, 14, were arrested on Sunday night after an incident outside the volunteer's home in Torquay, about 100km (62 miles) south-west of Melbourne.
警方表示，该男子被控袭击罪并被羁押候审，而该男孩被发出警告。受害志愿者因非危及生命的伤势入院治疗，目前情况稳定。
The man was charged with assault offences and remanded in custody while the boy was issued with a caution. The volunteer was hospitalised with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
“一个国家党”维多利亚州领袖沃伦·皮克林声称，袭击发生在该二人“干涉”该志愿者私有财产上的竞选标牌之后。
He remains in a stable condition. One Nation's Victorian leader Warren Pickering claimed the attack happened after the pair "interfered with" election signs on the volunteer's property.
警方未透露任何关于动机的细节，但皮克林表示，该涉嫌袭击行为“非澳大利亚式且不可接受”。
Police haven't provided any detail about a motive, but Pickering said the alleged assault was "un-Australian and unacceptable".
他说：“在这个国家，任何形式的政治暴力或恐吓都是不可接受的。”
"Political violence or intimidation of any kind against anyone is unacceptable in this country," he said.
“如果你不喜欢某人的政治主张，你可以相应地投票。你不能袭击他们。”
"If you don't like someone's politics, you vote accordingly. You don't assault them."
周二，“一个国家党”领袖保琳·汉森在吉朗大学医院探望了正在康复的受伤志愿者，赞扬了他的“韧性”以及对该党的“信念”。她在医院外表示：“他想立刻回去继续竖立标牌。”
On Tuesday, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson visited the injured volunteer at University Hospital Geelong where he is recovering, praising his "resilience" and "belief" in her party. "He wants to go right back out there and put the signs up," she said outside the hospital.
该党表示该男子伤势严重，并分享了一张他面部严重肿胀淤青的照片。维多利亚州州长本·卡罗尔形容此次袭击“令人震惊”。
The party has said the man has serious injuries, and shared a photo of him with severe swelling and bruising to his face. Victorian Premier Ben Carroll described the attack as "shocking".
他说：“无论你穿的是红、蓝、橙还是绿T恤，他们都是志愿者。”
"Whether you're wearing a red, a blue, an orange, or a green T-shirt, they are volunteers," he said.
“他们在外面做自己认为正确的事，没有人应该遭受攻击。” 据称袭击发生之际，正值维多利亚州州选竞选期间，且在上个月联邦议员海伦·海恩斯遇袭后，全国范围内正就政治辩论的基调进行反省。
"They are out there doing what they believe is right, and no one should be coming under attack." The alleged attack comes during a state election campaign in Victoria, and amid a reckoning in the country more broadly over the tone of political debate, after the attack on Federal MP Helen Haines last month.
警方尚未说明事件动机——该事件导致海恩斯双腿被截肢——但政界人士、执法部门和专家表示，激烈的公共话语正在加剧该国政治暴力的威胁。
Police have not detailed a motive for the incident - which left Haines needing both of her legs amputated - but politicians, law enforcement, and experts have said heated public discourse is heightening the threat of political violence in the country.
