One Nation takes Farrer — the bush sends the Liberals a receipt

One Nation's historic Farrer by-election win signals the major parties are bleeding regional seats, with the Coalition copping the worst of it.

Farrer falls to One Nation and the Liberals discover the voters they've been taking for granted have been quietly shopping elsewhere. Menzies built a coalition that held the bush for fifty years. This mob lost it to Hanson at a by-election they didn't even bother turning up for properly.
