One Nation Wins Secret Harbour By-Election in Orange Wave

Senator Pauline Hanson and her One Nation party won a state parliament by-election in Secret Harbour, continuing a series of electoral victories across Australia.

Pauline Hanson and her populist One Nation party secured a by-election victory for a seat in the Western Australia state parliament in the coastal town of Secret Harbour. This win is part of a broader trend of electoral successes for the party across Australia this year, a phenomenon described as an orange wave.

Hanson visited Secret Harbour on October 30 to mark the victory. The town is situated within the federal constituency of Andrew Hastie, a Liberal Party frontbencher and special-forces veteran. Hastie is regarded as one of the most formidable opponents to Hanson and the rise of One Nation.
