The voters of Farrer emphatically elected David Farley, a 69-year-old irrigation specialist and former chief executive, as their new member in the federal parliament last night.
A grandfather of seven and holder of a certificate in agribusiness operations from Harvard University, Farley used his victory speech to thank the party and volunteers, and lay out his policy platform for his time in parliament.
“We’ve got to address immigration. It’s as simple as that,” Farley told One Nation supporters. “We will not have housing supply, we will not get education right, and we will not get health right until we address the demand side.”
Farley has had a patchy campaign since he won preselection, with the biggest scandal coming after this masthead revealed he had attempted to run for Labor in Farrer at the 2022 election, and that he was a former member of the National Party.
Farley also endorsed his primary contender, independent Michelle Milthorpe, as a “straight shooter” when she made her first run for the seat in the 2025 election.
Farley also reposted three videos by a 22-year-old Madrid-based OnlyFans model last year, as reported by The Daily Telegraph, a move he said was “inadvertent”. Farley claimed at the time he had “no idea what OnlyFans is”.
