00:02In the town the Liberal Party was formed.
00:05Opposition leader Angus Taylor is playing down his party's chances.
00:10It's always going to be a hard task, but we've got an absolutely brilliant candidate in Raissa.
00:14As One Nation flies high on opinion polls and a private jet,
00:19Pauline Hanson says she's ushering in the winds of change.
00:24They're fed up with the direction that Farrah has gone in.
00:26We want the country back, we want our culture back.
00:29One Nation's campaign has locked horns with the Liberals and barbs with the ABC.
00:35The public broadcaster kicked out of a press conference today.
00:38The ABC caught up with Senator Hanson later in the day.
00:42How are you feeling ahead of tomorrow's vote?
00:45Actually, really good.
00:48The other front runner in this contest is independent Michelle Milford,
00:52also tapping into voter frustration with the coalition.
00:56It's time to do something differently, otherwise we're going to continue on the same trajectory,
01:01and that's not good enough for us right now.
01:03As polls suggest, the Liberals and Nationals who've held Farrah for nearly 80 years will lose the seat.
01:11For the coalition to win this by-election is going to be like climbing Mount Everest in a singlet and
01:15thongs.
01:16At least Angus Taylor and I are fronting up to take the verdict of the Australian people.
01:21Anthony Albanese has run scared.
01:22If opinion polls are accurate, tomorrow's result could be historic.
01:27Should One Nation win, it'd be the first time voters deliver the party a seat in the House of Representatives.
01:35The results here will be closely watched in Canberra,
01:38where both major parties are contending with frustrated voters increasingly willing to look for other options.
