FED:One Nation MP open to breaking with party on some votes

The first One Nation MP to be elected to the lower house has left the door open to voting against his party if that best represents his constituents, as he prepares to be sworn into parliament.

David Farley also says he plans to attend all parliamentary sittings unless he's called away with "great urgency", after questions were raised about One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's lack of attendance at many parliamentary sitting days.

Asked whether he was prepared to vote according with his electorate's view and personal beliefs, even if that meant disagreeing with Senator Hanson's position, Mr Farley didn't rule it out.

"It'll be rare that we find we find ourselves in disagreement, but then again, I've got one job to do - it's to represent Farrer and represent it the best I can," he told ABC Radio.
