David Farley is sworn in as the One Nation member for Farrer, becoming the first One Nation MP elected to Australia’s House of Representatives under the party’s own banner. Multiple reports describe the moment as historic for the party, with Pauline Hanson highlighting Farley’s arrival in federal parliament. Farley takes the oath of office as required and then takes his seat in the House of Representatives, reported as joining One Nation colleagues in the back row.
The reporting ties the swearing-in to Farley’s earlier electoral win, describing how he won the byelection for Farrer about a month before being sworn in. The West Australian and The Guardian both frame the event as a significant milestone for One Nation’s parliamentary presence following the byelection outcome. No alternative disputes or procedural issues are reported in the provided accounts; they focus on the swearing-in ceremony and the electoral context that leads to Farley’s membership of the lower house.
