A former Western Australia Nationals candidate is accused of a deadly hit-and-run in Katanning, east of Margaret River, and has been refused bail. Multiple outlets report that the person is alleged to have been involved in a crash resulting in a death, and that the case is being handled through the court system following the incident. The subject is described as a former candidate for the WA Nationals, linking the alleged conduct to a political profile rather than an ongoing party appointment. Authorities and courts are not described in detail in the sources provided, including the circumstances of the collision, the identity of the deceased, or whether charges specify a particular level of driving-related wrongdoing. However, all reports agree on the core procedural outcome: the person applies for bail and is denied. The matter remains before the courts as the legal process continues.
