00:00Well, congratulations, David. You have no idea how proud I feel. I really am.
00:09This is not only a win for Farrah, it's a win for the rest of Australia.
00:17One Nation won a landslide victory at the Farrah by-election,
00:20marking the first time the party has won a seat in the House of Representatives.
00:25The One Nation upset also meant that the Coalition lost a portion of its traditional heartland,
00:31with a seat it's held for nearly 80 years.
00:35The win was called fairly quickly when One Nation candidate David Farley
00:40shot to a majority of the primary vote within hours of the polling booth's closing on Saturday May 9th, 2026.
00:48A dozen candidates were in the running for the seat, which had been held by the Coalition since 1949.
00:55and was most recently held by former Liberal Party leader Susan Lay.
01:00Lay had secured more than 43% of the first preference votes in the 2025 federal election.
01:07The historic Orange upset prompted One Nation leader Pauline Hanson
01:12to vow the party will be coming for more seats in the lower house.
01:19I want true people that want to come on board, to be Australians,
01:24and to join us in this journey of making our country the greatest country in the world again.
01:30It has to be a lot of Ä°n crashes.
01:31The celebration has to be a lot of everyone.
