One Nation names pick for key by-election

On Saturday, March 7, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson announced David Farley as its candidate for the Farrer by-election scheduled for May 9.
The by-election was triggered when Sussan Ley resigned last month after Angus Taylor ousted her as Liberal leader; Ley had held Farrer since 2001, improving her margins before they narrowed last year.
A 69-year-old agribusinessman with a Harvard qualification, David Farley said his priorities include reducing living costs, scrapping net zero, slashing immigration, and 'What Senator Hanson is telling you there is we need a good immigration policy'.
With Labor unlikely to run, analysts say the by-election will test One Nation's ability to convert rising polls into seats following the South Australia state election later this month.
The Farrer electorate covers Albury, Griffith and Narrandera across 126,500 square kilometres, and voters must update details by April 8 with nominations closing April 13.
