Farrar by-election tests Liberal Party survival
About this episode
The episode discusses the Farrar by-election and its implications for the Liberal Party's future.
The Farrar by-election enters its final day as the Liberal Party faces potential loss of a seat it has always held, with One Nation and independent candidate Michelle Milthorpe emerging as strong contenders. The contest serves as an early test for Liberal leader Angus Taylor, who called the by-election by challenging former member Susan Lee. One Nation manager James Ashby expelled ABC journalists from a media conference, citing perceived unfair coverage, while both major parties watch closely as polling suggests One Nation's vote has quadrupled since the previous federal election.
