About this episode
The seat of Farrer in NSW has been empty since the resignation of former Liberal leader Sussan Ley.
Today, a new member will be elected, and while the race is tight – One Nation’s David Farley is ahead in the polls.
He’ll be picking up Coalition preferences, but faces a strong challenge from independent Michelle Milthorpe.
So will One Nation win its first federal lower house seat? And if so, what will that signal for the future of conservative politics?
Today, ABC Election analyst Casey Briggs on the fight for Farrer.
