Farrer By-election: Preference Games Reshape Rural Politics

Farrer By-election: Preference Games Reshape Rural Politics

Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description

In the Farrer by-election, the Coalitions controversial preference deal with One Nation has sparked outrage, with independent Michelle Milthorpe accusing the Liberals and Nationals of a desperate move to avoid being wiped out by Hansons party. Milthorpe, a former Coalition supporter, is now running as an independent, vowing to fight solely for Farrer voters. The preference games could reshape rural politics, with Milthorpes chances potentially hindered by the major parties preference advice. Meanwhile, One Nations David Farley faces criticism for answering to bosses in Queensland, and the Nationals are sidelining the teal candidate over her support for net zero and water buybacks. With ballots out soon, the outcome of this election could have significant implications for rural politics.
