Labor's Perth safe seat falls to Luke Herdegen's One Nation
One Nation's Luke Herdegen won Secret Harbour with 39.08 per cent of first-preference votes, ahead of Labor's Georgia Tree at 24.43 per cent.
Why it mattersOne Nation's breakthrough in a traditionally safe Labor seat reflects voter dissatisfaction with cost-of-living pressures and housing concerns. The result challenges the assumption that some seats are unlosable.
AustraliaOne Nation's WA win signals similar challenges for Labor in other states. With Victoria elections in November, major parties face growing pressure from minor-party challengers.
