The IssueEpisode 41 - Farrar by-election looms as three-way contest

A federal by-election in the seat of Farrar in southern New South Wales is shaping up as a three-way contest between Liberal, One Nation and Independent candidates, with early voting now open. The poll, triggered by former Liberal leader Susan Lay's resignation, is seen as a referendum on major parties amid voter concerns about health, water, fuel prices and cost of living.
