Farrer by-election count continues as One Nation climbs
Early counts in the Farrer by-election show the Liberal primary vote collapsing while One Nation's primary vote surges, with postal ballots and preference flows still to be counted. That swing has pushed One Nation into a substantial primary position, eroding the Coalition margin that has historically secured Farrer for the Liberals. Liberal strategists are awaiting postal and absentee ballots before deciding whether to concede, because preferences from minor parties will determine the final two-candidate-preferred outcome. If One Nation sustains this surge, it would signal growing rural support for the party and complicate Coalition chances in regional seats at the next federal election.
One Nation appears to have won the Farrer by-election. I know the media will say this is a hit to “the majors” but let’s remember this was a Liberal seat. Labor didn’t run. It’s up to Angus Taylor to explain why HIS PARTY lost this seat while mimicking extremist, hateful One Nation. Shameful.
Stevie Rae Williams🍷🐈⬛10Fair point. But Labor needs to own where we’re at. They’re in power. They’re not delivering on international issues. They’re not delivering the sort of big change such a majority merits. The Libs will carry on being the Libs, Labor doesn’t have to emulate them.
SallyRCbra6I’d like to know the likely outcome if Libs didn’t preference One N.
Wattle It Be6I'd actually say that GINA RINEHART won Farrer. The Libs lost when Gina ditched the coalition in favour of Pauline and took her pet Barnaby with her
Andrew Elder 5I'm old enough to remember the Green victory at the Cunningham by-election in 2008. The journosphere needs to calm down
Pinnacledrop543Labor are going to get a hit at the next election, but not like the Liberals devestation.
Yup. Liberals and Nats really gave their preferences to the party that took their vote. It’s embarrassing and pathetic. The “centre-right” never learns.
I give him 3 months before he declares he’s independent. #FarrerVotes #auspol
Dana Bergstrom7Don’t know why but thinking about capacity to vote in your best interest 🤔
MsDifficultWomanPraxis5Hah! We just had a similar conversation! I suggested that he could possibly be Labor by stealth!
Mish4Barnaby and David, PHON 'A' team. I despair for the future of #auspol if that is the direction of our journey.
mynameisdieter 🍉4WTAF 🙀 Farrer, you absolute bellends
Dave M - Prole. 🍉🍉4Not sure I'd set it so soon, but if I were a betting man I wouldn't lay odds on him being the PHON candidate at the next federal election.
Frau Cernik3Well , he tried almost all parties before .
tim365.bsky.social3That’s 3 months longer than I’d like. What a travesty. #Gutted Hold up a mirror #Farrer! #auspol
Peta from Oz2Absolutely, he made so much more sense than Pauline who was allowed to talk over Michelle conceding on abc. Disgraceful ABC. But yes I think he’s too smart to follow her but we’ll have to wait and see. Do you reckon he’s smart enough to take over the party from her and Barnaby?
stava61.bsky.social2If he's smart he gets the new plane.
Steve Baty (He/him)2He will definitely not be there for his full measure.
The Federal Liberal Party has: • lost the metro vote to the Teals • lost the regional vote to ON • lost the multicultural vote to Labor The Party is considering making Tony Abbott party president. Genuine qn: Will Angus Taylor be the last Liberal Party Leader?! #auspol #FarrerVotes #FarrerByElection

Kevin Bonham20This thing is on but is it ON? AEC will be doing the provisional 2CP for information as One Nation vs IND. Incumbents unceremoniously dumped (wonder if that's ever happened before!)
Peter Kemp2It's going to be interesting in Farrer but weird LNP attacks &competes with ON but gave them their preferences? Was that fear that Milthorpe if elected will be harder to unseat in future? What do moderate Lib voters think of the preference deal? Will 1/3Libs voting ON ever come back to Libs? Imo No
