One Nation has recruited a former UK Tory MP who is now a member of Nigel Farage’s populist right-wing party Reform to help its campaign in the upcoming Farrer byelection.

Tom Hunt, the Conservative MP for the UK seat of Ipswich for five years until 2024, has been advising on the rightwing party’s social media strategy for the byelection after a stint in the South Australian state election.
