\n One Nation’s Luke Herdegen has declared Perth’s south as the party’s “heartland'” after a significant Secret Harbour by-election victory.\n <\/p>\n
Herdegen secured One Nation’s first Lower House seat in state history at the weekend, with 57 per cent of the votes after preferences, ahead of Labor’s Georgia Tree with 43 per cent.<\/p>\n
Speaking outside of his soon-to-be electorate office in Secret Harbour on Sunday, Mr Hedergen said there are no safe Labor seats in Perth’s south anymore.<\/p>\n
“Kwinana, Baldivis and Rockingham…they are ripe for the taking. This is One Nation heartland now,” he said.<\/p>\n
Despite the rivalry, Mr Hedergen acknowledged Ms Tree’s efforts in her campaign and urged his supporters to show her “some love”.<\/p>\n
“This is certainly not a loss for Georgia Tree…this is a loss for WA Labor,” he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Georgia Tree is an honest, hardworking person, I was lucky enough to spend some time with her father on the booths as well and he is a really great guy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who\u2019s supportive of me show George some love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Tree said it had been an honour to fight for her community.<\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations to Luke Herdegen. It is a great honour to represent your community in parliament \u2013 and it is a massive responsibility,” she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the result wasn\u2019t what we hoped for, I am incredibly proud of what we achieved.”<\/p>\n
One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson said they would continue to target Labor-held seats.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe result in Secret Harbour should be a warning to Labor, we\u2019re coming for more of your seats,\u201d Hanson said on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralians are choosing One Nation as a serious alternative to the tired old uni-party who have destroyed our nations economic prowess.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Secret Harbour by-election was triggered by the resignation of long-serving Labor MP Paul Papalia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One Nation’s Luke Herdegen celebrates Secret Harbour by-election victory.
