Yeah, so we know he's a former Nationals member.
He's admitted to flirting with the idea of joining Labor or running as an independent.
He does seem like he's been a bit of a sort of free thinker in more of a way than many other One Nation candidates have been in the past.
He's certainly been running a more visible campaign.
You know, a lot of the time in South Australia, for example, we saw One Nation candidates largely take a back seat and let Pauline Hanson and Corey Bernardi do the campaigning work.
It's been a very different sort of One Nation campaign to watch.
And as I understand it, David Farley didn't inform One Nation of his previous considerations and chats with Labor before being pre-selected, which is probably not the wisest thing to do if you're running one.
He's also, you know, met with Michelle Millthorpe, his main rival in this race.
They've discussed water policy.
And from the sounds of it, it seems like those discussions have influenced those policies of the candidates, particularly Millthorpe's policy.
But obviously now Farley has a real shot.
Could David Farley, if he's elected, become a thorn in Pauline Hanson's side?
You know, we've seen Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce are being asked questions about what their candidate is saying and how they're not in line with...
you know, national one nation policy.
We've seen Barnaby Joyce talk about and refer to him as the sort of, you know, the stumbles of a first-time candidate and the sort of mistakes they can make.
Look, I think that that's the pressure of the campaign.
You know, I was having a yarn to David and it's, look, that just happens during campaigns.
People... It's clearly causing them issues, whether they're strong enough issues to actually affect this election result.
Don't know.
Yeah, I wouldn't rule out Michelle Milthorpe at this point, but certainly they're the two frontrunners.
