After ABC journalist Patricia Karvelas voiced concerns that One Nation’s historic by-election victory “legitimised” and “normalised” the party, Pauline Hanson took offence. Karvelas specifically criticised the Coalition’s choice to give One Nation’s David Farley priority over Independent Michelle Milthorpe during the national broadcaster’s coverage of the Farrer election night.
