EP86 - Farrer By-Election Chaos | One Nation Surge Shakes the Liberals

In this episode of The Mark Pirotta Show, we focus entirely on the rapidly escalating battle for Farrer and why this by-election could become a turning point in Australian politics.With One Nation surging in regional areas and frustration growing toward both major parties, the seat of Farrer is shaping into one of the most closely watched political contests in the country.We break down:Michelle Milthorpe’s campaign and Climate 200 influenceDavid Farley and One Nation’s momentumWhy the Liberals appear to be targeting One Nation more than the TealsJames Patterson’s clash with a One Nation volunteerImmigration, water policy, energy prices, and nuclear powerThe growing divide between regional voters and inner-city politicsWe also examine why issues like Australian values, renewables, farming pressure, and cost of living are dominating conversations on the ground in regional NSW.If Farrer swings hard, the political consequences could stretch far beyond one seat.Support the show:https://patreon.com/TheMarkPirottaShowhttps://linktr.ee/mark.pirottaTIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Why Farrer matters nationally01:20 – Michelle Milthorpe and Climate 20003:00 – One Nation’s momentum in regional NSW04:30 – Immigration and “Australian values” debate06:20 – Water buybacks and farming concerns07:50 – Renewables vs nuclear in Farrer09:30 – Why regional voters are frustrated11:00 – James Patterson vs One Nation volunteer12:40 – Are the Liberals fighting the wrong battle?14:20 – The rise of anti-establishment politics16:00 – What a One Nation win would mean17:30 – Final thoughts on the by-election
