National leader David Canavan says One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has lost control of her party’s MPs after one of its newest representatives, Farley, votes with “teals” during parliamentary proceedings. Multiple outlets report that Canavan makes the claim following Farley’s wayward vote, which he presents as evidence that Hanson is not able to direct her caucus’s voting positions consistently. The reporting notes that Canavan’s comments include an attack on One Nation, framing the incident as a break from the party’s expected alignment.
The articles focus on Canavan’s reaction to the vote and do not dispute the basic sequence of events: Farley votes with the teal-aligned crossbench group rather than with One Nation’s side, and Canavan then publicly argues that Hanson is struggling to maintain discipline among her MPs. The coverage presents the issue as an internal party control and parliamentary-alignment matter, centring on the consequences of the single vote and the political messaging it triggers.
