Michelle Milthorpe

Pauline Hanson's One Nation party won a historic byelection in Farrer, sparking internal rumblings about Angus Taylor's leadership. The win marks One Nation's first federal lower house seat. David Farley defeated independent Michelle Milthorpe in the election.

One Nation won its first lower house seat at the Farrer byelection, with candidate David Farley finishing in a two-party contest against independent Michelle Milthorpe. The result is seen as stunning and marks a shift in Australia's political order. Pauline Hanson declared her party is coming after Coalition and Labor seats around Australia.

One Nation won its first lower house seat in the Farrer byelection, with David Farley defeating independent Michelle Milthorpe, amidst a collapse in the Coalition vote. This victory marks a significant rise in public support for One Nation since the last federal election. The loss will further weaken the Liberal party.

One Nation candidate David Farley previously sought to cooperate with the independent Voices movement before the group endorsed Michelle Milthorpe as their candidate. Farley discussed preferences and suggested a platform for a House and Senate campaign. He is expected to win the Farrer byelection ahead of Milthorpe on Saturday.

Angus Taylor, the opposition leader, claims there is a higher risk of 'bad people coming from bad countries' and specifically targets Iran, while defending his immigration policy and One Nation's preferencing in the Farrer byelection. He also criticizes the Greens by referencing teal candidates' alignment with them.

The Liberal and Nationals parties will preference One Nation over independent candidate Michelle Milthorpe in the Farrer byelection, potentially impacting her chances of winning. One Nation's David Farley and Milthorpe are frontrunners in the four-candidate race for the southern New South Wales seat.
