FARLEY: From Businessman To Politician: Why David Farley Had To Join One Nation

Fresh off his shock victory in Farrer, David Farley joins The Karl Stefanovic Show for a massive conversation about politics, immigration, energy, agriculture and why he believes Australians are fed up with the major parties. Farley says the Coalition is “in bad shape”, arguing voters no longer want scripted politicians and hollow talking points. And on the final weeks of the campaign? “It was like playing water polo in a septic tank.” Farley says despite relentless attacks, Australians responded to conviction, directness and politicians willing to actually fight for regional communities. He takes aim at Net Zero and renewable energy policies, warning they are driving up power prices, hurting businesses and crushing household budgets. He argues Australia has become trapped in an ideological “woke period” that weakened the country’s productivity, energy security and long-term planning. Farley says Australia urgently needs to return to cheap, dispatchable energy, stronger infrastructure, better water policy and productive industry instead of endless bureaucracy and political spin. He also discusses: Why immigration numbers must be linked to housing and services Why regional Australia feels abandoned Why food security and water matter to national sovereignty Why One Nation is building momentum across the country And whether Canberra is actually ready for him “I’m ready for Canberra. I hope they’re ready for me.” A huge conversation about energy, immigration, sovereignty, regional Australia and the political realignment happening across the country.
