One Nation’s David Farley has won the Farrer by-election, with Pauline Hanson making history winning her first ever seat in the House of Representatives under her party name.
With the count still progressing, One Nation is leading the two-candidate-preferred vote with around 58 per cent, ahead of independent Michelle Milthorpe on approximately 42 per cent.
The result is a humiliation for the Coalition. The seat was held by former opposition leader Sussan Ley for 25 years.
Farrer takes in a vast rural stretch of NSW, including Albury, Griffith and Deniliquin, and has been held by the Liberal and National parties since it was created in 1949.
