Talu ona fa’avaeina le nofoa o Farrer i le 1949, na o vaega 'upufai a le Nationals ma le Liberals na umia le nofoa. O le sui mulimuli nei, o Sussan Ley, lea na 25 tausaga o se'ei i le nofoa, ae na fa’amavae i le tausaga nei ina ua lē toe palotaina o ia e le fa’afaletui e ta’ita’ia le Liberal Party ma le itū-agai.


O le Aso To’onai nei, Aso 9 o Me, o loo fa’amoemoe e faia ai le palota la’ititi mo le nofoa o le itūmalo palota o Farrer i New South Wales.

O se tasi lenei o itūmalo palota aupito telē i Ausetalia, e amata mai i le tuā'oi ma South Australia e tau i Albury ma le tuā'oi ma Vitoria.

Talu ona fa’avaeina le nofoa o Farrer i le 1949, na o vaega 'upufai a le Nationals ma le Liberals na umia le nofoa.

O le sui mulimuli nei, o Sussan Ley, lea na 25 tausaga o se'ei i le nofoa, ae na fa’amavae i le tausaga nei ina ua lē toe palotaina o ia e le fa’afaletui e ta’ita’ia le Liberal Party ma le itū-agai.

Ae foliga mai o le palota la’ititi lenei o le a suia ai le lagolagoina o vaega 'upufai tetele i Farrer.

E leai se sui o le Labor o tauvā i le palota la’ititi i le Aso To’ona’i, ae i le taimi nei o loo i luma le lagolagoina o le sui o le One Nation ma se sui tuto’atasi nai lo sui tauva o le Liberals ma le Nationals.

 "I'm Michelle Milthorpe and I'm running as you're independent for Farrer. For too long, the major parties have taken us for granted."

"We need to become aspirational again in what an Australian is and where Australia is going, I'm David Farley your One Nation candidate for Farrer."

O mata’upu o loo sili ona tāua i le va’ai a tagata palota i Farrer, o mata’upu e fitoitonu i le ‘aufaifaato'aga ma nu’u i tua - e pei o le pulea ma le faasoaina o le suavai, polokalame soifua maloloina mo nuu i tua, tau o le suau'u, tau o le soifuaga.

Na saunoa Dr Pandanus Petter o le Australian National University, e tāua tele le mata’upu i le pulea o le suavai mo le ‘aufaifa’atoaga i le itūmalo palota o Farrer.

"If you put aside all the sort of national politics and just look at what the candidates are saying matters like Michelle Milthorpe, David Farley, the Nationals candidate, Brad Robertson, they're all talking about the importance of water politics. So Murray-Darling Basin Plan is under review and they're all sort of campaigning on this idea that the agricultural sector there needs more of the water compared to the environment."

A malo le sui o le One Nation i le palota, o le a fa’atoā iai lea o se sui o lea vaega 'upufai i le maota o sui o le palemene tele.

Ae o loo taumate nisi, a malo le sui tuto’atasi Michelle Milthorpe, o se faia'oga, e ono faigata ona toe mailei mai e le Liberals ma le Nationals le nofoa o Farrer.

Ma ua malosi le tulaga o le sui o le One Nation ina ua fa’aalia e Angus Taylor le ta’ita’i o le itū-agai, na te fautuaina tagata palota mo le Liberals e fa’amuamua ia latou preferences le One Nation.

Na saunoa Angus Taylor i le Insiders program a le ABC.

 "If you vote teal, you get Green. If you vote teal, you get Green. And so whilst preferences beyond preferencing the National Party, are picking the least worst option. And we want people to vote for the Liberal Party and the National Party."

Na atagia i se poll a le Guardian i le masina talu ai le i luma la’itititi o le One Nation i le primary vote. Na ta'ua e Dr Petter o le ANUse tasi o mafua’aga o le ono suia o le palota a tagata o Farrer mai le Liberals i le One Nation.

"It's not too surprising that they would preference someone that their voters would probably preference and that is closer to them ideologically and then long term, they may have some sort of strategic sort of idea in place. The major parties know that they're unpopular with a lot of people and they know that part of that is this perception that the two parties have got the system sewn up and therefore, they're not representing people as they should. So they don't want to contribute to any narrative that One Nation might put out about "Oh see look the major parties are conspiring against us."

Na saunoa ai le ta’ita’i o le Nationals, Matt Canavan, e lē iloa tonu le mafua’aga o le femoumoua'i o le sui o le One Nation, David Farley.

"And so if you do vote for One Nation, what exactly are you going to get here? Is it going to be like a box of chocolates in Forrest Gump, and you don't find out until you open it the wrapper? I see that David Farley has said that while he was exploring his options. Four years ago, David Farley was a 65-year-old corporate leader, veteran. He was hardly a 20-year-old on an Eat, Pray, Love, tour of Southeast Asia. I mean, what the hell does that mean exploring his options? If David Farley hadn't worked out, after 65 years on this planet that the Labor Party wants to increase taxes, buy back more water, how in hell is he going to be a good representative for the people of Farrer?"
