Pauline Hanson’s One Nation will win the federal seat of Farrer.
Candidate David Farley is leading the two candidate-preferred count against independent candidate Michelle Milthorpe, about 60 per cent to 40 per cent.
Farley has been leading the count in the majority of regional booths across the south-west NSW seat.
Results are still pouring in from around the electorate, and polling coming in from the regional city of Albury is favouring Milthorpe, where she is leading in some booths.
However, Milthorpe’s results in Albury are either the same or weaker than they were at the last election, when she took on Liberal leader Sussan Ley. It means she won’t make enough inroads in Albury to out-poll Farley across the rest of the seat.
This will be the first time One Nation has won a seat in the House of Representatives.
