One Nation Secures Fourth Seat in SA Lower House

0:00It's April 2nd. Welcome to Sydney News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. One nation's nagged of fourth seat in South Australia's lower house, taking Naurunga on the York Peninsula. It was a nail-biter that needed a recount, and they edged out the liberal candidate by just 58 votes. Shantel Thomas, their victorious candidate, will now join three other one nation members in the House of Assembly. She's a cadena local, mother of three, who works as a photographer and makeup artist, plus she counseled for Lifeline. Thomas jumped into the party to deliver clarity, unity, and strength, saying people across the country are fed up and craving a solid voice for their concerns. Liberals hang on to opposition status with five seats, while labor dominates after their March 21st win, claiming 34 of the 47 lower house spots. Four seats went to independence. That tight victory shakes up the crossbench of touch, giving one nation more pull as the parliament settles in.
