One Nation says it will chase more seats after claiming a historic by-election win in the regional NSW seat of Farrer.
David Farley swept to victory in the sprawling electorate in southern NSW on Saturday night, ending the Coalition’s 77-year reign in the federal seat.
With more than 80 per cent of ballots counted, Farley had claimed more than 57 per cent of the two-candidate-preferred vote to comfortably beat independent Michelle Milthorpe.
“One Nation has reached the end of its beginning. We’re going through the ceiling from here,” Farley said on Saturday night to a room that erupted in cheers and applause.
It is One Nation’s first federal lower-house election victory since the party was founded by Pauline Hanson in 1997 and she had a message for the major parties.
“We’re coming after those other seats,” Hanson said.
