‘A disruptive force’: One Nation strong result shakes up Nepean

Following the Nepean by-election held on Saturday night, polling indicates that One Nation has gained significant influence, with the parties candidates leading in three out of thirteen polling stations in Nepean.

Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, Dr Zareh Ghazarian, argued that the Liberal Party can no longer afford to ignore One Nation, especially with a 25 per cent primary vote in a seat that should be safe for them.

“One Nation’s popularity has risen arguably because of what’s been going on with the Liberal Party or the Coalition in Victoria, where they have been so enthusiastically focused on themselves for such a long time,” Dr Ghazarian said.
