A question without notice. Let’s assume ON win Farrer. Can ON force/convince their man to give the seat to Barnaby Joyce? I am not sure if that can be done, but if it can, I would hate to be the winner! Barnaby will be at the door demanding the seat. ON needs a seat in the lower house to build on and this guy is a relative unknown to most of us The Beetrooter on the other hand……

Post by Bobby. on May 9th, 2026 at 8:41pm https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-09/farrer-sat-night-results/106656856 One Nation scores historic win in Farrer by-election By Bruce MacKenzie ABC Riverina Topic:By-Elections 26m ago One Nation has scored a thumping win in the Farrer by-election, marking the first time the party has won a Lower House seat in the federal parliament. The ABC's election analyst Casey Briggs called the seat for One Nation just after 8:00pm. At that stage One Nation candidate David Farley had more than 40 per cent of the primary vote and was predicted to win the seat with a margin of about nine per cent after preferences. He will become the first member for Farrer who does not represent either the Liberal Party or the National Party. Mr Farley said he chose to join One Nation because it was "a political party of courage and tenacity". "I wanted to match that to what my skills were … in agriculture, agribusiness and community, and I could see the job that was required," he said. "So I look at it and I understand what is the job in Farrer, what's got to be required and how to deliver it, and that message plus our policies has resonated very well right across the whole depth and breadth of Farrer. "People just want change, it's as simple as that." One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has appeared on Sky News where she thanked the voters who delivered a thumping victory for her party. "They realised that we are the last hope of changing things in this country, to get it back to the country that we used to be," she said. "People have fear for the future generations, no hope of owning their own home, you know? "And the cost of living is just destroying families." |

An interesting comment from Murray Watt:
"After knifing their first ever female leader in Sussan Ley, voters in her old seat have sent a clear message to Angus Taylor. That under him, the Liberals are no better. The Liberal Party has held Farrer for around 60 of the 86 years that the seat has existed. Tonight they look like finishing a distant third, or even fourth. Even worse, by directing preferences to One Nation, they have delivered this extreme, chaotic party its first ever win for a lower house seat. And already the three parties are openly discussing forming a new right-wing coalition to try and win the next election." That the Libs would actually assist PHON get a seat must really grate on it’s grass roots voters. After this, they have lost the right to criticise Pauline Hanson or ON as they are bedbuddies now What will be interesting is if Abbott gets control of the Party as National President, noting his “love” of Hanson |

Is that a yes, or a no? Hanson and Joyce openly defended a rapist. Not in dispute. "One Nation leader Pauline Hanson and MP Barnaby Joyce have defended their party’s decision to rehire a convicted rapist who had served his time in prison. "On Sunday, Hanson announced the sacking of Sean Black, a staffer who had been rehired by the resurgent minor party after he went to jail in 2018 for raping and violently assaulting a woman." |

True, but an absolute indictment on the Libs for preferencing PHON ahead of an Independent. Surely an Independent winning the seat would be far less bother than PHON. Angus is on the way out after this. Thank the Aussie taxpayer he has all that money from water buybacks to keep him going |

Well, One Nation looks like becoming a bigger influence than The Democrats were back in the day.
Remember them? "Keep the bastards honest." ? ;D It is very interesting that Labor luvvies are rejoicing about the way One Nation has decimated the Libs ... We haven't seen them take on a Lower House seat where Labor is running a candidate yet. It could be a very rude shock for Labor too. Watch this space. ;) |

Title: Re: Will One Nation win Farrer tonight? Post by Vic on May 10th, 2026 at 10:49am
Labor Luvvies? Wow - sour grapes withering on the vine!
Why would any party go to the expense of fielding a candidate in the safe seat of another party? All parties do it and rightly so. I certainly am not rejoicing about PHON decimating the Liberals - but then again, the Liberals preferenced her, what did they think would happen? Talk about hoisted by your own petard. If I were a Liberal Voter I would be absolutely outraged that my own party would give votes to a rascist, redneck and corrupt party such as PHON over a well liked, popular Independant who would be less of a threat than PHON will be I hold no truck for ANY political party these days. My local MP is Zoe McKenzie - a Liberal who has outshone the deadbeats before her with style. she will get my vote anyday. My vote will always go to the person whom I think is best for myself and my Family. |

I think the Libs' view is that they want to hurt Labor in any way they can, (but this byelection was a dead duck as far as the Libs go this time.) So preferencing ON above anyone else will be a common thing as time goes by. I reckon the Libs will preference One Nation wherever there is a chance to get rid of a Labor seat. Perhaps there will be a tri-party loose coalition between the Nats; Libs and One Nation down the track. Perhaps optional preferential voting will get a run? I could see Labor wanting to bring that in if things keep going this way for One Nation. :o Oh, and by "Labor Luvvies" I was referring to Labor Luvvies in general, not you in particular. I was a Labor Luvvy from 1972 onwards until Bill Shorten came along. (Although I did once vote a "protest vote" putting Labor second preference one time back in the Bob Hawke days.) I was a member of the Labor Party, a campaign helper and Labor scrutineer at one time. Also, a union rep. :o I will be voting One Nation next time just for a laugh. |

Angus appears to be disingenuous. There is something about Liberal policy that he is not telling us. Posted on 22 July 2021 by David Evans https://wentworthreport.com/2021/07/22/australian-immigration-policy/ The Wentworth Report Semi-official admission by anti-democratic elite — we never voted for high immigration: Back in 1994, launching a book of essays, former prime minister Bob Hawke made the remarkably frank admission that immigration policy had effectively been a conspiracy by the political establishment against the Australian public. Hawke agreed with one author’s observation that most voters wanted immigration reduced and that the parties had deliberately kept it out of public debate, saying there had indeed been “an implicit pact between the major parties to implement broad policies on immigration that they know are not generally endorsed by the electorate” and that “they have done this by keeping the subject off the political agenda” |

We need immigration
but not mass uncontrolled immigration of millions of people when there is nowhere for them to live. That's only one issue. There is cost of living too. Energy prices are skyrocketing along with food and groceries. |

Indeed, once Anika Wells repays her 10 k of stolen money the seat of Lilly will be very interesting at the next election. The people of Brisbane aren’t stupid and I expect will be waiting for her at the ballot box with cricket bats. It’s an interesting place full of hard working people. They have voted liberal before so definitely not a safe seat for labor given the lack of quality there currently MP has displayed. I sense big inroads in the seat of Lilly coming for one nation and the only blame for this is Labour minister Anika ( rorting) wells. Shes been a complete failure / embarrassment locally,nationally and globally. What exactly is the difference between larceny and rorting? Anika wells should be facing criminal charges and criminal court ? Why can politicians like Anika wells steal and once caught it’s ok if she pays it back? Try working in the real world and stealing 10k of your employer and you will be charged and convicted in court. What exactly makes Anika ( criminal) Wells so above the charges of larceny and fraud? |

Labor cares about young people's votes, so I am pedicting that they will force investors to divest of their investment properties and make them available to prospective home owners, thus gaining favour with younger voters. They know they can't fix the housing issue with new supply so they don't care about the boomers' vote as they know they will probably vote No Nation to protect their nest eggs. |

He needs to repent in public - he needs to name names - who was involved in the secret deals that usurped our democracy? |

If you look at the trends, ON got the largest % of vote from 45 - 55 year old. Hardly Boomers. Most Boomers I know don't have investment properties - they are either on super or the pension. Thos that do are retired and either earn a low part time wage or what they have coming in is below the tax threshhold for any meaningful advantage from NG. Be very careful what you wish for with negative gearing - you may find a swag of very expensive houses hitting the streets that will still be too expensive for 1st home owners. There still has to be an incentive for Landlords to own an investment property and rent it out with the expenses that naturally will occur. |
