Labor Skips Farah By-Election, One Nation Frontrunner
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is preparing for a by-election in Farah, with a 'big polling day' scheduled for tomorrow. The AEC maintains a degree of readiness for elections due to Australia's system of no fixed date elections. Labor decided not to field a candidate in the New South Wales electorate of Farah by-election. The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Liberal leader Susan Lee, who held the seat for 25 years. One Nation's David Farley is considered a frontrunner, and a win would mark the party's first federal election victory. Miles defended Labor's decision as normal for a 'blue ribbon seat'.
